Welcome to my year 

My 2013 in review with (almost) no art

 This should be lower

whose there

Enter a Dragon

Tricky Kitty fun

I wasn't really intenting this to be something for Halloween, but by the end that's really what he wanted to be for.  Ah well, what can you do with a little tricky kitty when it has it's own ideas?

hatchling

I mad a Moonkin Hatchling.  This one is styled after the clay ones I did a while ago and not entirely meant to look like the in game pet.

the lantern

So, the current college I'm working at has a strong tradition with lanterns, so i stiched one up for myself and put 4 different images on the sides.  sadly i only have the jack-o-lantern side for a photo.

Gift given

My friend was able to successfully take my Bifur plushie from Philadelphia to Atlanta and give it to actor William Kircher at Dragon*con the last weekend of August.

Mr. Kircher liked it so much I got a FREE autograph from him. Or I will once my friend gets its mailed out to me. 

The following day, at the 3rd panel the actors did, my plushie was one of a handful mr. Kircher showed off to the crowd. I found out last night that quite a few people got photos of it. 

Made my night, let me tell you!!

Here are some of the photos my friend took. The first one is of a mutual friend who doesn't like the wide world

Knowing what she looks like so I masked her. 

The Cook

My next dwarf is Bombue!  Lets get to it!

The Advisor

Give her a pony

So, I decided to make my best friend a pony plushie for her birthday this year.  Since i'm being crafty and all.  Got the pattern from Voodoo-Tiki over at Deviantart.

Dwarrow, this is the scribe

My second Dwarrow from the Hobbit.  Ori, brother to Dori and Nori.

Here we have Ori's progression from sketch to finish.

Something's Fishy

so, I had a scrap of red felt and I wanted to see if I could needle felt anything onto it.  Some how an eye took shape...and then myself and 2 otehr people said that once the black got added to it it really reminded us of those gold fish from Fantasia.

So that got me thinking and so I went over the peach with blues and greens, purple and white and tada! Sort of a fish, but still an eye.  I like the way it turned out.

owls...or bunnies?

a needle felted owl lantern, and what it's really supposed to look like.

Dwarrow, this is why they live so long

They live so long because they take so long to make!  Mahal, I know your pain now!

This is Bifur from the Hobbit.  The cousin of Bofur (the one with the hat) and Bombur (the heaviest one).  I wanted to do Bifur because I think he is one of the ones that gets the least amount of recognition.  Aside from his hair not looking as wild as it did in the sketch, i'm please with how he turned out.  ^_^
