So far it's going okay except Pinky won't let me look at her head anymore, I have to use my Flickr photo's :-)
Sometimes I want to make something big. . . like life size.
I try to make the owls and gnomes (!?) life size but I wanted really big his time.
Pinky is my ideal model but I think the amount of work to make her really life size is too much right now.
So I decided to make just her head. It might sound creepy to have just a head but I think of it as a portrait, like a painting.
I made a pattern and sewed it from felt, stuff it with wool and needle felt wool onto the head.
Pinky sighs and I laugh, given her an extra cookie. . . .
She gave me the stinky eye :-)
So far I'm having fun
to be continued. . . . .
LOL! Oh my this is really something Helen! ha ha ha....a two headed Pinky! I love it and you are brilliant to make a pattern in felt and then needle felt on top of it because that helps with time. Many of us cannot make a pattern like you do, and do it this way because we have no concept of how to create a correct felt pattern as a base! You are truly remarkable on how you use this talent mijn vriendin!
ReplyDeleteAaaaw, thank you Barby !!
DeleteOh wow, that is quite strange but very cute at the same time! 2 headed Pinky. :D Pinky makes a beautiful model, she is lovely. I think most pets wouldn't be too happy about having a version of themselves so close, they would growl and bite at the poor thing, but not Pinky! :D
ReplyDeleteNo Sharon, she just sighs :-)
DeletePinky part 2 is incredible. Absolutely incredible. Your talent and work just blow me away. And as far as the Pinky in the flesh....she is wonderful as well and very patient...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely words Linda :-)
DeleteOh nee wie süß. Ich lach mich schlapp. It is so sweetness.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße Jessi
Hahahaa, Jessi , ich lache mich auch schlapp aber meinen Hündchen ist böse auf mich :-)
DeleteThere is darling Pinky! I think you will end up making a life-size Pinky eventually! Meanwhile, the Pinky head is turning out great. Please hug Pinky for me!
ReplyDeleteThank you Helen ! Hugs are given !
DeleteYour felty Pinky is wonderful as is the real Ms. Pinky. She's so patient. Bullet would've torn it apart. Anything that looks like a toy has to have it's nose bitten off after being tossed in the air a few times.
ReplyDeleteThank you Robin, Pinky is a soft-hearted bully, she never destroyed a thing ! My first bully ate everything like jeans and towels, she didn't torn it apart she just ate it !
DeleteWauw wat mooi!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDank je :-)
DeleteOh my, what a project! I am in awe of the attempt.
ReplyDeleteI'm not making the body !!! Just the head :-)
DeleteHAHAHHAHAHA!!! I'm sure when Felt Pinky grows, Real Pinky will NOT want to share her couch! Right now it's okay...since she is just a head. But TWO Pinkys on the couch will probably be one too many! As EVERYONE has already said, YOUR Talent BLOWS ME AWAY and you are Absolutely AMAZING!!!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha April, it's the only couch I have and there is 3 of us + Pinky. Guess who sits on the ground on Pinky's sheepskin rug ? Hahahaa
DeleteGreat!Amasing!Incredible!Remarkable!
ReplyDeleteMarita, you're too kind ! Thank you !
DeletePinky is so lovely! I think she like her portrait!

Thank you Ina, Pinky is getting tired of it already. She won't show me her head anymore :-)
