Lady Chicken and Mr. Rooster

Posted by bayan

During the last week I was wrapping again, wrapping until I came up with these two:

Lady chicken,

and Mr. rooster.

Both of them were made using my new technique of wrapping recycled strips of fabric on top of each other.
I was trying to test this technique by creating more detailed creatures, incorporating the crochet and embroidery I use when creating my other creatures.

I was quite obsessed with their details, as I always am.

I made the poor rooster put his crocheted vest on and take it off at least 8 times, until I came to the decision that he is the kind of rooster that should wear a vest.

As you can see, they are quite detail-oriented too, and they don't like it when I don't clean the window rails.

Besides that, they have a lot of fun together.
*You can find Lady Chicken and Mr. Rooster at my etsy store.

Bird and Pink creature.

Posted by bayan

Lately I have been hooked on my new technique of creating dolls by wrapping strips of fabric scraps on top of each other.

I experimented quite a bit and created different shapes and creatures, but I wasn't really satisfied with any of them, until these two "came to life".

And here they are:

This pink creature is already one week old, and has been very patient since then,

Until this bird was completed today.

Finally there was someone to play with, and they had a lot of fun together

Next Friday I will hold another workshop for creating this type of dolls at my home.

E-mail me if you would like to participate, or if you would like to receive updates about future workshops.

Mr. big creature

Posted by bayan

So here he is: Mr. big creature! He was waiting for long time on my crochet hooks, kept me busy crocheting, unpicking and re-crocheting, till yesterday, when he told me "that's it, I am ready to go out". I had some doubts, but he was determined, pointed the camera and said: "now!"

Comparing to my other creatures he is quite big, he stands 28m/11.2" tall; including his tail, he is 35cm/14" long and approximately 25cm/10" width.
It was a new challenge for me to deal with such a big dude, after all the miniatures I have been creating lately.
He was crocheted by fabric scraps, remains of sewing workshop, one of many we have around in the neighborhood (I should tell more about it in another post soon).
