Brief Description:
This cat has some sharp edges, but I would also call it “not very embellished” due to it only having one glaze. (He might also actually accidentally be a dog, which is really funny if you know my history of not being able to make dogs.)
Pin Prize info:
Although the breed goes back centuries in Thailand, the white cat known as Khao Manee was officially named amongst cat breeds in The International Cat Association in 2009, according to the Wikipedia Articleon the breed.
Brief Description: these use electricity to fire (at least for bisque fire). They also have eyes so they could be something a mad scientist might cobble together.

Prompt: May Battle- 1990s Team: Extra Epic Project Name: Footbag/Hacky Sack Project Link: Brief Description: I went with 1990s because I was a bit of a grunge kid (though my brother much more so) & that is my real experience with Hacky Sacks. I made this one because my nephew wanted some, I guess they’re back again. Project Photo(s):
I almost forgot to post my May Battle- it’s been a week… we’re moving my mom from rehab to an assisted living facility and it’s way more work than I expected! But, tomorrow is the move-in day, so as long as she likes it, I should have a little more head space back
Brief Description: This is the same pattern that I’ve used previously, but I decided to see how it looked without the folded brim. I picked the 90’s because I associate slouchy beanies with the grunge movement that really hit its stride in the 90s (even though it started in the 80s).
@megwell - making monsters out of letters is a cool idea, and, of course, everything is better with googly eyes @ezrib - I remember hacky sacks from the 90s. They weren’t that common here, but I was in a summer camp with some kids from the US and they brought them over. Fun that they are making a come back, looks like a good group activity for kids that does not have to include their phones.
Work is kicking my butt this week, but I did have a tracking page mostly built. Tomorrow, I’ll print and add it to my notebook and then make a formal prompt post. In the meantime, here’s the tracking page for anyone that would like it.
your monsters are so adorable!
