Inspired by a tutorial in the current issue of Craft magazine. He makes me chuckle to myself. Heh heh. 

No, not a hybrid of famous country singers. A pun on “Mardi Gras”.

Ok, ok, before you groan and kick me out of the TAD club, let me just tell you that I STILL don’t feel well, and this did actually take me over a half hour to complete. And, no that’s not ALL the beads (or panties!) I got thrown at me. This amount of beads is actually the tip of the iceberg. The bulk of them are STILL in my car. And, NO, joonbugg, I didn’t show any of my naughty bits to get this stuff.

And although it is Ash Wednesday, I’m not Catholic (or any form of Christian for that matter), so I don’t have to care (or discontinue any of my excess)… I can still be in the Mardi Gras spirit if I want!

Oh yeah and I found the baby!!! YEAH.

So, for day 5, I did another doll. I haven’t done these in ages, and I really enjoyed yesterday’s. So, today I dolled a girl on a mushroom. Base is from Pinkies.

So. Today, I did some graphic art instead of some paper art. Because cartoon dolling is a passion of mine. I call this one “Rainy Day Blues” because.. well, she lost her shoe. And it was raining. And she’s wet and cranky. *shrugs* Enjoy. (Oh, and you’ll find the base at ILCK).

 someone once told me i had the face of a doll…..

although i’m not a football fan, i made a football stuffie in honor of superbowl sunday:

it’s the first time i’ve ever made a stuffie before (i’ve been wanting to start), and it was much more challenging than i realized it would be. i had a hard time visualizing the correct shapes to cut that, when sewn together would form a football. i’d originally intended it to be much rounder than a regular football even, but it turned out to be flatter. still, i’m happy with the final result. the face reminds me of an eel somehow, i’m not sure why (my husband says it doesn’t). it was also kind of inspired by uglydolls, so i guess i can call it an uglyball?

here are some preliminary drawings that i made:
