Easter Bunting

We'll start with the bad news first:  As yet no creatures have materialised from the eye experimentation but I promise something will eventually!

And now to the good news!   I was beavering away ALL day yesterday and this is the result:

Some Eater bunting.   I enjoyed making the Halloween bunting so much last year that I thought I would continue the theme and rustle something up for Easter.   Here are some close-ups:

And this is what it looks like hanging up (thanks to Jasmin for the photo effects!)

It is now listed in my Esty shop so pop in and it could be yours!   :o)

October “Cute & Quirky” Swap – Part 2

As promised, here are some more photos of the things that I made for the Halloween swap (this also gave me a chance to kidnap and test Mr G’s new toy – a DSLR camera J). 

The first item is some Halloween “bunting” with feltie bats and knitted pumpkins.   I have become obsessed with bunting lately and an interested to develop it beyond its traditional triangular form.  

The second item is a pumpkin-head zombie.   I have to confess that this is not my own design; it is from a book called Zombie Felties by Nicola Tedman and Sarah Skeate.   I really love these designs they are full of humorous, quirky gruesomeness and are deceptively simple to make.

I had forgotten how much I enjoy sewing and using fabrics in my work and I really liked the mix of media used in the Halloween bunting.  I think this is something I am going to develop in future projects so I’m now trying to think of projects that will combine more of my crafting talents – watch this space!!
