New Monsters

First is a new design, and second is my first monster using eco-felt. Progress!
 

Catching up: Final 2 Monsters in the Thing-A-Day Series

The purple one was crazy hard. The blue one I can (and have) replicated. Toying (ha-ha, inadvertent pun) with the idea of developing them to sell in my etsy shop. Thoughts?

Catching up: Monsters Nos. 5, 6, 7

More of the monsters I've made since my "Logo" post. This is the second set. It includes "Little Blue," "Bumpy-Grumpy," and  "The Fish" Monster. More to come! I'm on a monster-making tear.


Monster Friends

More or less since my last post ("Logo") I've been on a monster-making jag. These are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th members of my growing monster family.

The logo I finally settled on. Ay! What a to-do!

HELP! I need a logo! (Any thoughts?)

Day 13: Bunch 'O Green Bird Softies

Precursors to Raffy's and Ella's Valentine birds. Most I made as practice and the rest I made today. I might be done with these guys for now.

Thing-a-Day Nos. 10-12: Valentine's Birds

For Thing-a-Day 10-12 I made a couple of iron-on bird softies for my niece and nephew, Ella and Raffy. They're from the 'new mod birds' collection I made for Day 9 (posted on 2/10). They were a lot of work and nearly drove me crazy but turned out pretty cute.

Thing-a-Day 9: Set of New Mod Birds

A contact sheet containing a new set of what I'm calling "mod birds" ready for printing at Kinko's and gluing onto glass tiles for magnets and pendants. Whoo!

About

I make colorful one-of-a-kind bird figurines and ornaments, art pendants and magnets, mobiles, and various other artsy-craftsy things. I sell the birds, pendants and magnets in my Etsy.com shop, Purty Bird (http://purtybird.etsy.com) and more or less just fiddle around with the other stuff.
