Emiel the Donkey

Actually I am in a hurry... were are going on a short vacation in... uhm... 25 minutes and I still have to pack, get dressed and do all the things you do when you leave home for a couple days.... oops.

Well, I HAD to post my latest creation before I go. :)

Meet Emiel the Donkey.  Emiel is handmade from his head to his hooves and he is about 10 inches/ 26 cm tall. He is made of a very thick and soft,  grey fabric. 

Emiel is filled with synthetic wool and plastic pallets. 

His teeth and hooves are made of polymer clay and he has a needle felted face.

I hope you like him.

Hugs Mel

(only 20 minutes left to get ready... oops)

 

Biscuit and marmalade

Hi everybody,

I would like to show you my latest creation, called 'Biscuit'. 

Biscuit is completely hand sewn. He is approximately 6 inches - 15 cm tall and made of a yellow, high quality mohair. He is filled with plastic pellets and a polyester filling. 

His body and arms are partly wired so they can bend. His face, nose and paw pads are needle felted and he has a hand sculpted mouth and nails. In front of him is a glass of mixed berry marmalade. 

The marmalade is made of polymer clay and liquid Fimo. He has also some marmalade on his face and paw. Biscuit loves marmalade!!!

I have made this bear to take part at the Bears&Buds URSA Awards Competition 2012.

Being too busy with my job at the moment I have hardly made the deadline of June 19. Phew.

 I hope this lack of time is going to change soon because I miss creating!!!

Anyways, I hope you like my bear 'Biscuit' :D

Hugs, Mel

 

I have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award!

Never heard of it before but I was happy to read I have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award.

So what did I do? Or what do I have to do next? 

A quick peak on their website told me this:

Howie the Hyena

Hello my dear friends!

Just a quick note from me. 

I am still in this very heavy-4 weeks-fulltime course but in my rare spare minutes I have found some time to make my latest creation, called 'Howie'.

Howie is a 7 inche/ 18 cm tall hyena boy. He is made of  high quality plush and filled with plastic pellets and polyester filling. Howie has a needle felted face and paws. 

His teeth and nails are made of polymer clay.

Hope you like him!

xx Mel

'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
