Bat Filet

I know it has been a wile, and I was doing so well too, but I haven't had a chance to really finish much. I have projects going and they are coming along well despite the lack of updating. My school work is still in a rough patch but I feel like I can turn it around soon. Math is still giving me a fit and I couldn't turn around my Anatomy work for the practical. So many blanks on the paper and in my mind. I plan on watching a lot of A and P videos as well as math ones this weekend. I will also need to start an essay and prepare for a midterm for Wednesday. Not much is actually due though, which I'm thankful for.

I ran out of crochet thread half way through. I hope the point still looks right.

Cauldron Filet

I still feel stifled by the essay I have to do. I can write a whole page in reply to a line or two but ask me to combine a piece of literature and a painting and I go wha?

Other then that not much has been on my mind. Just doing the typical internet thing, looking up gifs, taking a trip to tumblr, and looking up some videos. Most of the videos have been about resin which I would love to get my hands on. When I started looking into it a landslide of ideas happened. As if my obsession with filet wasn't bad enough. Filet was also apart of those new ideas thanks to tumblr.

Owl Filet Crochet

Oh wow didn't realize it is 2am already. I probably wouldn't have even though of this if I didn't take a minute to think about anything I still needed to do....as in everything.

This little guy was meant to be a bunny but I feel calling it an owl is more fitting. I used crochet thread for this one and it was worth the extra time. Maybe even the hand cramps. I don't think I would mind framing this one.

 There where a few problems with this one. For instance there where a few extra squares I was counting. I tried to compensate accordingly and I feel they are not too noticeable.

Felt, I dislike you.

I have a love hate relationship with felt. I'm beginning to think I am just prejudiced against it. I don't like felt plushies most of the time. They look cheap to me, to rough looking to want to keep them in my hand and feel their texture.

On the other side of things I know felt has a great value. Perhaps even more value then anything else for those that are beginning. The price is perfect for those of a younger age, most sheets come prices around a quarter or two. The material maintains its shape, no wrinkles and less possibility to miscut something. Colors come in a very nice range.

I recently, within a day or two, learned the blanket stitch. I wanted a cheap way to practice and felt wouldn't leave my mind. Flight of the Yoricks, which Zantarni users would know about, completed its quest today giving me a poor excuse to celebrate with felt. What a great treat, something I don't like, spending more money, and adding more projects to my already flooded mind.

With $7 I was able to get 12 sheets and the crochet thread I would be using to sew.

 Is it just me or are my pictures getting worse? -pouts- I try.
