The Wednesday edition of Crafty Tuesday

I will be giving my thoughts on Toy Fair tomorrow. I am still processing all the stuff I saw. I will say it was nice to see more companies offer puppets with heads big enough for adult hands.

Where I am in project land.

I am down to the fiddling bits that need to be done to finish the costume. A few fasteners need to be added at key points and I need to finish Ariel’s wig, which turned into a project from heck because of cats and yarn.

Then I have a couple of dolls that need touch-up before I bring them to Farpoint. And there is the sooper skerit project I hope to get done and unveil there.

Once I am back I will launch into the postcards so I can mail them before we are off again.

The next couple of weeks will be pretty busy with real life stuff so crafting is probably going to have to take a backseat for a bit.

Onto the Photos of current projects for Farpoint

Caroline’s Costume
(For the Visually Impaired) Caroline’s costume consists of a dress with no sleeves. The dress is purple with a black inset piece shaped like a T. There are two fingerless long sleeved gloves that are black with pink at the top of the sleeve. There is a collar that is pink on the inside with black on the outside. The front of the collar has a red jewel in the center. Behind that is the headpiece which is shaped like a V which will go onto a silver long wig.)

Ariel’s costume
(For the Visually impaired) It is a green tunic with the Green Lantern symbol on a white circle and a green belt

Ariel’s Wig before cut and style
(For the Visually Impaired) It is a grey, black, and blond wig that looks like a lion stuck his finger in an electric socket. The hair is wild and everywhere.

I will have pictures of the girls in the costumes next week along with pictures of the dolls I get finished.

I am grateful that I have gotten as far as I have so far.
