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!
