I love this! I’ve always wanted to do miniatures, but have too many other projects I need to work on first. XD

Project Name: Vulture ATC
Project Link: ATC Blitz #4- The Trees
Brief Description: One of the prompts in this past weekend’s ATC Blitz was “Put a Bird On It!” and instead of doing a cute, lovable bird, I went with a vulture. Because vultures, as it turns out, are righteous!

Project Name: Lily and Butterfly Padded Headband
Project Link: Padded Headband, Obidome and Clutch - FCQ12020 Challenge Entry
Brief Description: The lilies were originally made for a commission that I got via email - which is a kind of text, right? The client wanted a different petal shape, so I found a new purpose for these lilies in this headband.

@roler – Welcome to the TEAM!!! Katsuyuki’s and Kimutako’s scarves are very pretty. I bet the color reminds them of their watery homes! The Lovebird hoop is so cute. I love the bright fun colors.
@storerboughtcreation – The Green Biscornu is so intricate and pretty. Great raffle prize. I love the Koi Biscornu. I have koi so this is fantastic!!!
@QueenHobo – Took me a second and then I saw the Tardis. Ha! Very cool.
@bunny1kenobi – Great save on the pants! They look great. You would never know they were altered. Your masks are great too. I like the feather one best, but I am partial to gray.
@Lynx – The Java embroidery is fun and bright! I love the walrus one. That’s a great pattern. Your bunting is great! I love the little animals. They are all too cute to pick a favorite. Very useful soap saver. And pretty plant hanger. Fun paper chain. It reminds me of my childhood. Funny birds.
@CraftADDchick – I love your arrangement! It’s much harder than it looks to arrange flowers. Yours look beautiful. Love your masterboard. I love your vulture ATC. Makes me like them even more now.
@GMPNQ – Love the mask. Fun fabric!
@geekgirl – Loving this style! I love the colors and movement of them. These are fantastic!
@bunny1kenobi – I love your miniature tins! They are incredible. Just hearing what you did t make the cups is insane! It turned out amazing.
@Appledainty – The Lilies on the headband are absolutely stunning! You do such great work on your resin pieces. Very pretty embroidery on the pouch. I had to look up what an Obidome. This one is stunning!

Team: Bits and Bobs
Project Name: Appledainty Animated Alerts
Brief Description: Like many people, my schedule has imploded now that I’m home all of the time. To give myself some stability, I thought it might be a good time to start streaming art. I didn’t want my channel to be ugly, so I made a bunch of cute graphics and animated alerts for my channel. I haven’t actually animated anything in about 4 years, so even though these are simple it was a bit of a challenge to relearn how to do this. XD And my background is not animation, but illustration haha.

@appledainty, I like your animated alerts! And, pretty cool that you have a your own art channel. You should let us know when it’s "live!
@GMPNQ, adorable penguin It’ll translate very well into lino art. One of my coworkers calls me “royal penguin” (it’s a long story), so I have decided to embrace all things penguin! 
@Bunny1kenobi, adorable granddaughter (and adorable headband, too!). I love her outfit- I would totally wear a dress with that fabric!
I am really late to the party, so I’m gonna go ahead and start commenting now! (I have repeat comments, so if I do, lucky you!)
@geekgirl: those brownies look yummy, owlbert is so fun, oooh girl, you had me at tacos!, you know I love your atcs and journal pages
@gozer: your Bride of Frankenstein is absolutely amazing, awesome peg people–love the mummy
@ezrib: the curtain tie back is so pretty and the plague doctor is genius
@Bunny1kenobi : I love your sweet jackalope atc, your masterboards are so cheerful, nice job in fixing those pants!, thanks girl, now I want lemonade…and what? the lemons are only garnishes! Also…how cute is your granddaughter?? Too cute, that’s how!
@craftaddchick: is your banana cake kinda like banana bread?, the floral arrangement is so beautiful, your black and white masterboard will be so neat when it’s cut up and decorated!
@storerboughtcreation: those scalloped potatoes look yummy, beautiful biscornu and so wonderful you have donated it to the raffle. I need to figure out something to donate! The koi biscornu is so pretty!
@GMPNQ: great job on the hair cut! I too have been getting the hang of hair cutting, and fun fact, I too like penguins…
@roler: you are the bomb with all those felt hoops! Those scarves for Katsuyuki and Kimutako! So stylish!
@appledainty: Beautiful pillbox hat. How do those work, exactly? The padded headband is so beautiful. You are quite skilled! the butterfly obidome is stunning! Yay for animation! Happy little blinky things to make me smile!
@QueenHobo: I somehow missed this TARDIS biscornu when it was posted! I am IN LOVE!!!

It was more like a cake- not as dense as a banana bread, and the bananas mostly sank to the bottom. But, it was delicious! I used my B & W masterboard in my ATCs for Blitz #4, but I haven’t decided what to do with the extra piece, which measures about 8 1/2 X 11" (I have 3 pieces- one from each masterboard I’ve made). I might cut them up and use them to make notecards, but I’m still thinking about it.

Project Name: Felt stuffies
Project Link: Sunny the Dog - Poseable felt doll
and Loch Ness Feltie - Monster Jam 2020
Brief Description: The dog, Sunny, was my first feltie stuffie. He took forever because I was learning everything. How to hold the felt, stitch, knot, pop a knot back inside, blah, blah. I wasn’t even cutting it right I don’t think. But I got him done and was so excited I decided to tackle a more complex one. I am glad I started on Sunny because Finn, the Loch Ness, had so many more parts! But I think I am hooked. I really enjoyed making these guys!
PS. Finn has a magnet in his nose to hold a snorkel. You can follow the link to see it and him lounging with my cat, Pandy.

@appledainty – the animated alerts are very cute. I, of course, love the cat. I like the color scheme you chose for them.
@GMPNQ – I think that penguin would be cute as a stamp! He’d be cute in a line of them in rainbow colors. 
@Bunny1kenobi – Your granddaughter is absolutely adorable! She is so photogenic. Oh, and your headband is cute too. Ha! PS. I also love the Star Wars outfit.

Project Link: (Mostly) Metallic: ATC Blitz #4
Brief Description: Blitz #4 again, for the prompts Fairy Tale and Relax. The first is Baby Bear’s porridge bowl, and the second recreates the title logo for one of my favorite films. I made the latter while participating in the band reunion/watchalong last weekend, which was so much fun. Both have green elements. (Note: I paired them because the green in each was a fairly small portion. If it’s not enough green to satisfy the spirit of the prompt, please say so.)
