The Sorrow    by Chelsea   Date : 2010/09/01(Wed) 06:17    No.409    United States    I used the tall boy doll pattern, yet I shrunk it down to about a third of the size. For my first doll I think I did a decent job. All hand sewn as well, alot of work, but very fun to make. I added some changes to the design for fit my purposes better.

Dachsund!!    by Samantha   Date : 2010/07/25(Sun) 03:29    No.399    USA    I haven't made a stuffed animal for a long time, and this was my first time working with fur. I can't way my parents appreciated having orange fur all over the floor... but I'm pretty happy with the results!! I don't think I'll make another one, though, because I don't have a whole lot of patience and as a 13 year old that's always going from one thing to another, I don't have a ton of time to make one. But because it's summer, it took me 2 days to finish. Which still felt like forever because I could only do a few stitches at a time since I had places to be and things to do.(: And, no, it doesn't have eyes yet. I could only find 18 mm ones.

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 - Lui    2008/05/09(Fri) 23:46   No.172    Philippines Very cute!adorable little mouse! i wish i have those materials to make something like that. great job. 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! Re: Old Mouse - Terry Weiss    2008/07/06(Sun) 11:09   No.185    USA I think your mouse is charming! A walking stick would be nice, or a little umbrella.

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.

Forte (from Rockman)    by TheGeekyOne   Date : 2010/04/06(Tue) 07:52    No.367    England    Hi! I just wanted to say thankyou so much for your patterns, Runo - I have learned so much from them. Here is a picture of a doll that I made - he is Forte, a robot from the Rockman video games that are made by Capcom Co., Ltd.. He was made completely by hand, and took two years to finish (I wanted to make sure that he was perfect). The dolls with him are officially-manufactured Rockman dolls - I did not make them. To make Forte, I used a slightly modified version of the head pattern from the Tall Boy Doll pattern, and a larger body that was based on the Nekomimi Doll body pattern. I made all of the other parts of the pattern by myself. I wrote some more about him on my website - http://geekycrafts.wordpress.com/my-projects/forte/ . I hope everyone likes him. Re: Forte (from Rockman) - Julie    2010/04/08(Thu) 03:54   No.368    England Abosolutly fantastic, all your hard work has paid off. He looks so much better then the others.
