First Post/Jackalope

Yay! First post! I was trying to find something really fun and original to start off this blog, but I couldn't. So this first post will be about something that I made a few weeks ago.

Geffery the Jackalope

This is Geffery (with a 'G') the Jackalope, my latest felt creation. It only took me a few hours to make, and I am pretty happy with the results. I got the pattern here. I really like a lot of Aimee Ray's work, its very whimsical, like a fairy tale. She has a few books out, I have the first one; Doodle Stitching. I've been looking at getting her second book; Doodle Stitching: Embroidery and Beyond. I like the toadstool pincushion on the cover of the book, super cute!

In case you've never heard of of a Jackalope, it is a mythical creature. Almost a cross between a rabbit and an antelope, i guess? Here is the Wikipedia page about them. 

My Jackalope, 'Jeffery', is about 3 inches tall. I just used everyday craft felt you can get from Hobby Lobby, same with the thread. I think i really need to practice my stitches! ;) I just carry him around with me in my bag, and take pictures of him around town. Its a fun little project that's not very time consuming.

oh, and here is the link to Aimee Ray's blog.

Hope you have a funnerific day! And keep on Creating!
