First, the Santa Cthulhu's on their snowy drifts....though, I have to admit, this isn't the final picture. I added snowballs to each Cthulhu and they were hilarious! They actually looked like they were having a snowball fight with each other and I regret not getting a picture of that! :)
I bet you can guess where the snowballs went though ;) So, just use your imagination.
The finished unicorn went to another friend, who absolutely loves and collects various unicorns. I used roving wool for the mane, tail and feathering around the hooves. It was a pretty white, but when I think of mythical creatures, I think of glitter, etc. After some pondering, I tried out some beautiful violet mica powder that I had and was able to actually "paint" it onto the wool to create an iridescent and glittery appearance.
To commemorate the engagement of two friends, I thought of what better way than interwoven rings. I used another color of mica powder to create an antique silver finish.
Finally, a friend of ours just recently bought a farm and has been raising beautiful fancy chickens for some time now. I thought a bird's nest pendant with colorful green eggs (textured glass beads) would be something she could enjoy.
I have several more projects I am going to be working on in the coming weeks before Christmas, so check back to see what is meandering across my work table!
I'm sure your gifts will be the most treasured your friends receive this year!
