Snow Baby

Been working on the gnome-y sort of critters I wrote about last week.

I mean, I think it was last week, I don't know. Don't make me go back and look for it, I am feeling lazy plus it's almost bedtime.

I have made several that I stopped part way through, deciding that they weren't working out the way I wanted them to look, and just... tossing the not-so-great ones aside to either work on or trash later. I'm guessing they'll end up trashed.

First, the little foil feet I made and covered with sculpey were too big. The proportions would have ended up all wrong. Sort of like little Festive Frankensteins in winter clothes. Not what I was going for, really.

I made some much smaller feet from the clay, and tried a little smaller person.
Mixed results again, but I did finally end up with one I liked.

Excuse the quality of the photo, phone photo due to the oft mentioned and always present laziness.

The snow baby has a knitted hat, cut from a sweater and sewed together. Between a few stitches here and there, the judicious use of hot glue and some sculpey, I finally ended up with one after a whole lot of work.

But now it's going to be easier, and I think I can crank out quite a few of them, assembly line style.

Unless I've lost interest and need to clean up the mess instead....
