52 Finishes: Week 30- Monsters!

I have a craft fair coming up and I wanted to restock my Etsy Shop, so I made a few (7) Sweater Monsters.
 Its so hard to choose a favorite, they seem to get personalities of their own.
 I love the pocket in the front, perfect for a tired baby monster.

Sometimes the babies look just like their momma, or daddy...

 And sometimes they have a color pattern all their own.
 One thing's for sure...
 They are totally lovable!

52 Finishes: Week 27- Mix N Match People Blocks

Back in April or something, I made these people blocks, I just couldn't share them then because they were for a contest.  I just stumbled across my pictures of them and thought I would share then now. They are a set of four blocks, consisting of heads, torsos, legs and feet.    You can mix and match them to create funny people.   They are sort of like paper dolls, but you just rotate the block. 
We have a pirate and a teacher
 A rocker and a nurse
And a lawyer and hula girl

So we get a lawyer rocker nurse pirate person... or a pirate nurse hula rocker.  There are so many different possibilities, they are fun to play around with.

To make them, I drew the people. Then I painted them with water colors, scanned the pictures onto the computer.  Scaled them to the size I wanted, printed them off, cut them up and mod podged them onto the blocks.  Seems like a ton of work, but it was pretty fun and easy.  I never won the contest I submitted them to, and I really don't understand why not :)  To see my other finishes, click HERE
