'Roscoe'

So I have finished my latest creation last night.

 It took me many, many hours.
It's a ferret called 'Roscoe'. 
Roscoe is a happy, jumping ferret. I used to have 3 ferrets. Rakker, Boefie and Tijger. 
I was thinking about them lately and then I found  this piece of faux fur which just looked like the fur of my ferrets. 
Roscoe is about 15 inches/ 38 cm tall from his nose to his tall. Roscoe has sculped teeth. He is wired and filled with plastic pellets and polyester filling. 

I will start a 4 week fulltime course tomorrow. I am looking forward to it but I am also afraid that I will not have enough time and energy to make something new in these 4 weeks.

Because of my health problems my energylevel is very low.

I will think of all of you and grap my self together and just do it!

Many hugs,

xx Mel

Well, here is 'Roscoe'

My feature in BärReport Magazine

Hi there,

I am featured in the new edition of the German BärReport Magazine! It is my first interview and feature in a magazine!

I am working hard to finish my latest creation today. Maybe later today - or tommorow I can uploads the finished results. I am not gonna tell yet what it is going to be...

On monday I will start a 4 week fulltime course for my job. I am afraid I won't have much time and energy to make something in that time. :( I will try anyway. :)

To get back on the feature in the BärReport magazine; here are some pictures.

Hugs, Mel

Oops! I forgot....

I totally forgot to show you 'Rosalie', my latest creation! How could I?!

I made her last week for somebody who is totally in love with 'Blueberry'.

(a picture to remind you of 'Blueberry')

I have made 'Blueberry' for my husband ( still boyfriend at that moment) to Valentines Day last year. 

* I use this moment to complain: I make/ give him something to Valentines Day every year 

but I never get something back that day... (╯︵╰,)  *

Anyways, luckily Blueberry has a little cousine and her name is 'Rosalie'.

Rosalie is only 4 inches/ 10 cm tall and she is very soft. :)

Hope you like her.

Hugs, Mel

Little Lilly

Just a short note to show you my latest creation called 'Lilly'.

Lilly is a little kitten. She is 5.5. inches tall/ 14 cm. She is completely handsewn from her paws to her hears.

Hope you like her.

Love,

Mel

My Golden George!

Last night was the awarding ceremonie of the Golden George Contest 2012 in Münster.

After a nice day at the Teddybär Total Show and a visit to the oldtown of Münster, it was finally time for the long-awaited Golden George Dinner Ceremonie.

It was a great night with many nice people and a tastful dinner! I have had a great night and on top of it: I went home with a Golden George Award ( and another one for second place )!!!

Hope you have a great Sunday!

Gwen, a little hedgehog girl

Just finished Gwen, a little hedgehog girl.

I must say I have never been so productive as I have been in the last weeks, hehe... Thinking about what making next, though I have more stuff to do :(

I need to write a small script for my kids in my theatre group on monday evening. 

I am useally very good in making up stories but my head seems to burst everytime I try to think of writing a story. Ahhhh!!! I NEED inspiration! 

As creative as I am on my little critters,

 my mind blocks on this script atm!

I am going to a big Bear Show in Münster ( Germany ) on Saturday and I am looking forward to it! In the evening, at a Gala Dinner Party, I will find out if my Cody and Bits are good enough to win a Golden George Award. Fingers crossed!

Here is Gwen. She is 5.5 inches/ 14cm tall and made of mohair.

Hugs, Mel

Happy Easter!

Had to finish this one before Eastern!

I am struggling agains a cold and the flu. After a lack of sleep for more then 4 weeks the flu is trying to get me in his grip. But I am not somebody who gets really ill. Just an unpleasant cold with  bad headaches, ugly coughing and a dripping nose.

But it does not stop me from making new creations. Having my head full of new ideas and a cupboard filled with new wonderful fabrics I have to make more. 

No time for a flu!

This one I have finished just yesterday. He is called 'Malcolm'. This week he is an Easterbunny but next week he can be a 'plain' bunny again. He loves butterflies and they love him!

Malcolm is 7.5 inches / 19cm tall. His body and legs are filled with plastic pellets and the rest is filled with a synthetic fiber. He has a needle felted face and his eyes, fingers and toes are made of polymere clay. 

I hope you like him!

Happy Easter, Mel

ps. don't eat too many eggs - chocolate or cooked!
