Penguin Amigurumi

What is Amigurumi? I'd wondered that myself. It is, apparently, the "Japenese art of crocheting small dolls or toys."

On the Fairy Tale Novels Fourm, I was on an adventure with Yaviel. We metamorphed into purple penguins and got kidnapped by The Boss... well, long story short, I made a penguin for Yaviel!

I'd seen some pictures of crocheted dolls on Ravelry, and thought I'd go for it. I pulled out yarn scraps and set to work! I did not follow any pattern (I didn't even know it was called Amigurumi, and had never done any pattern similar before).

I did alot of things in very ineffective ways (I have since learned how to crochet multiple colors properly. All I did was sew white ontop of the purple). But I got a very cute little three-inch penguin! :)

I think I will be trying Amigurumi again. Although I might actually spend the time to find a pattern and/or basic amigurumi instructions.

Bauble Necklace

This, like my Fairy Hairclips, is basically a bunch of beads that are held together by some randomly twisted wire. So, I can't really give exact instructions. Enjoy the picture, though. :)

Such a Horribly Nasty Blogger

I am, yet again, posting for the mere sake of taunting my few readers. :P

You see, I got onto the computer with the intention of posting at least six posts, instructions and all. That would be just a small fraction of the crafts/art projects/etc I have done recently.

I got onto the computer. Paint Shop wouldn't open up (and all of the pictures had bad lighting). Then, I realized I was on my brother's account and he doesn't have access to my files. And then I realized that my bedtime, one which I'd better not miss by even a minute, is in only a few minutes. I might/might not be able to post tommorrow.

Can you all pray for my family? Especially early this week? This being the internet, and this being a public blog, and this being a public blog that more than just close friends read, I can't put up too much info. But prayers would be appreciated. :) Danke!

Radish Earrings

Luna Lovegood' Radish Earrings

Luna Lovegood was the slightly-wacky girl... She wore a pair of beaded radish earrings (they are called dirigible plums in England!). These are not beaded... but they still remain very Luna.

I made them with Sculpey clay, stuck a wire loop in the top, baked, and attached earring loops! 

Time Turner

The time-turner, minus the chain.

Well, it's a bit sloppy... but it is a time-turner nonetheless. Best, all it took was some wire, a few beads, and Sculpey clay. AND it spins freely (well, until it decided to stop working).

I just messed with the wire and clay alot. I can't explain how I did it; I bet there is a much better way. Mine was rather ineffective.

It pales in comparison to the real thing... Oh, well. :) My bros sure don't care!
