Bunny


Bunny

I had pink fleece which was the first color I purchased.  And I had white from making panda hats.  So it developed into a bunny hat.  I almost feel like making one in a tiny size for my cat.

My cat has his own bunny ears.  Here he is my sleeping with his bunny ears.  Or maybe he was just pretending to sleep in hopes that I would leave him alone.  I made these last year.  They are constructed out of white crafting felt, a black pipe cleaner, and two pink pipe cleaners.

Leaf

Leaf beret

There an online game call Final Fantasy XI that has a monster called a Mandragora.  This beret is modeled after it.  I only made two of these berets.  One for me and one for a friend.  Sort of my experiment in custom made hats.

Froggy

Froggy

Here is my frog.

After spending a long time looking at the colors of green I decided I wanted my frog to be this softer color of green.  I would have liked a bright cheery yellow green,  but I could not find such a color.

Test

I wanted to make a frog, but all I had was black, white and tan sheets of crafting felt.  

I took what  I call the cat's paper.  This is the brown packing paper that most online stores use. I like saving this paper because my cat likes to hide under it and take naps.  He also steps on it, stomping it till it is flat, at which point he no longer can sneak under it.  Since he can not slide himself under the paper he just takes a nap on it.

Back to the frog...  So I used the paper and cut a pattern.  But made a test panda instead of a frog. Patching the felt together since they were 9" x 11.5" pieces.

Later I went looking for some material, but ended up buying some pink fleece.  This resulted in two items a cat :

and what later evolved into one with a white flower on it.
