Old Mouse    by Lizardie   Date : 2008/05/06(Tue) 18:51    No.170    Russia, Italy    I decided to make this mouse in order to check whether I designed the pattern properly. While I was working on the base of the body, I have found out that the pattern was not really what I expected it to be. So, I left the body lying in the corner and almost forgot about it. Once upon a time I have realized that I expect and demand too much from myself and from my toys. Everything have the right to exist, even though it does not seem to be perfect. I understood that if I devote my time to complete this awkward body, I will get the result anyhow. I got down to this work again and created the head and the paws, wrapped the silk thread round the wire of the tail. Then I have sewed her the blue peignoir, embroidered in the glittering thread, decorated the flowers with strass, and put on the Czech bead pendant. That's how this elderly fancy vintage-style mouse appeared. Maybe she also needs a little walking stick, but I am still not sure about it. The height of this doll is 10 cm, it was born in February 2008, lives in Pisa, Italy.

Re: Old Mouse - Lizardie    2008/05/20(Tue) 01:18   No.174    Russia, Italy Dear Lui, I quite I agree that in some countries it is really difficult to find nice materials for hobby and art, but I have realized, that one can make a really great doll from very simple materials. As for me, the idea itself and your love, patience and skills are more important than the quality of materials. I know people who are able to by the best materials and tools, but their works are not impressive at all. So, good luck!

Failed Ferret    by Star    Date : 2009/01/11(Sun) 14:36    No.241    USA    I tried to attempt Runo's ferret, and I failed terribly. It is not Runo's fault; her patterns are always very good. Runo makes a wonderful ferret. Mine is a weasel. I will practice hard and try to do better in the future. My suggestion is to always make head gusset the same color as body, not like I did with a lighter color, or ferret will look like a skunk. Also eyes too far apart looks like obese squirrel instead of ferret. Re: Failed Ferret - Mandy    2009/08/31(Mon) 22:19   No.308     Well,I think he/she looks wonderful. :)

Charlotte the French Cat    by Kenshinchan   Date : 2009/08/12(Wed) 10:54    No.295    USA    Thank you so much for your wonderful patterns! This is a nekomimi I made for my mom's black and cream-colored French guest room. I left out the 3-D nose and stretchy fabric over the base fabric because I don't mind a doll having seams. The face is embroidered. I designed the dress pattern--it didn't come out quite how I wanted, but it's OK. Re: Charlotte the French Cat - Kerry Lyons    2009/08/12(Wed) 13:34   No.296    Canada I think you did a really nice job! You say you embroidered the face? That I do not know how to do, every time I've tried my thread gets all clumped. Re: Charlotte the French Cat - Kenshinchan    2009/08/14(Fri) 11:16   No.299    USA Thanks, Kerry! :) I kind of taught myself to embroider...if you only use 3 strands of floss and keep them relatively short (18 inches or so, I think), that can help. In my experience, it's also best to draw out the face before embroidering. Sometimes things go wrong even if you draw them out, though. :( Your faces are cute so I'm sure you could embroider if you wanted to. :) I actually think Charlotte is cuter in her pajamas/undergarments. ^#^ I took the panties pattern and basically turned it into a "combination" with the pants and slip as one piece.

That's why it isn't perfect, but i'm proud of it. Re: Kon,first stuffed doll - Dana    2009/06/10(Wed) 11:21   No.273     Actually it's a really good interpretation of kon. And it's not far from perfect. If memory srves me right(?) his arms and legs are fatter, that and symmetry is your problem :). Keep at it. I'd love to see a revised edition :).
