The Wolfman

Meet my newest creation ...... the Wolfman!
I made him for a friends birthday but I quite like how it turned out so I am sure there will be more of him in the future. I named him the wolfman because he stands on two feet like a person. He is made of wool felt and he has felt eyes. His nose is stitched with light pink embroidery thread.
We took a few photos of him outside but it was -40 with the windchill so the photo shoot was brief!
I would like to start making dolls and animals that wear clothes soon. I have a few ideas brewing in my head but I just need to actually sit down and work out the patterns.

Carousel Horse

This week the Bay in downtown Winnipeg was selling off some of their old display merchandise. There was a lot of junk and some real treasures to pick through. The Bay downtown has been around for a very long time and it is definitely treasure trove of old junk. Chris and I picked up an old carousel horse at the sale. Unfortunately, the Bay painted over the original paint with gaudy gold paint but it will make for a fun project to restore it to its former glory. I am looking forward to painting it!
My Dad bought the other horse that I am standing with. We are planning on painting them together.
The horses are really big so it should keep us busy for awhile. :)
