Merry Grinchmas

We caught him sitting on our bench by the pond. We thought he was resting until it started to snow and then we realized he was trying to catch flakes with his feet. I snuck up and stole this picture...

The CLOWN ~~ A puppet

Then came this happy fellow.

He is also all handmade. Handknit clothing. His hair is extra long faux fur...and he got caught in the weeds I threw out that day. {I told him he should wash his hair more often and those things woldn't grow there!}

His head, Bow-tie and shoes are all made from diamond-paper-clay; painted.

A nice lady met him at the Lincoln Center Art show that year and took him home to be with her son in California. I hope he is happy on the west coast.

He stood about 3 feet tall.

SEA TRAVELER

After BEAR came the SEA TRAVELER.


She is 100% handmade.

Her blouse is lurex/wool. The skirt is angora. Her hair is knitted shells.

She has friends: an octopus, two horsehoe crabs, a starfish and a jelly-fish. Along with her head and tail they are all made from diamond-paper-clay; painted.

She has her own hanger and is about 12" long.

This is Bear.

Q named him when Bear was created in 2000. Bear is 100% French Angora hand-knit. He has kid-leather sueded paws and a tail. His face is made from Diamond Paper Clay then handpainted.
