Ollie: The Pin Cushion Owl
Ollie is made of felt. The pattern helps you with the embroidery. The eyes are glued with Tacky glue.
The Marvelous Wonderettes
I work at a theatre and as a closing night gift I made these for the girls. I created the patterns for the barbies. Most of the dresses are hand sewn although there were some pieces that were big enough to use the machine. I found all the dolls but BJ (the green one) at thrift stores, I had to break down and buy a Barbie as there wasn't one with the correct color hair.
This is our Wonderstudy (she understudies all the roles)
I found an e-how page that tells you how to save Barbie dolls and fix their hair. First condition the hair, then shampoo, then condition again. Dry her hair a bit and cut up a straw and roll the hair about the straw bits and bobby pin them in. Once all the hair is rolled then pour bowling water over her head and let her hair dry. Then remove the straws and style. I quite enjoyed it, and feel good that I saved some Barbies.
Sam & Gene
I made these for my best friend Aimee for her birthday. They are from the British version of Life on Mars (the good one), there is an episode where they have little claymation figures of Sam and Gene. I guess it is a reference to a British Children's Show or something.
They are made from sculpty, wire, a wooden ball for the head base, and I created and sewed the outfits. Their arms and legs are posable.
The box is also in the episode of Life on Mars.
