Dino request

Teeth... I am debating on making this a regular item. I still remember when creating the original Dino hat I was conflicted of what to put on it. I recall going with a simple spike design. Recently I had a request for teeth to be added.

Custom Dino with teeth

I really like how it came out. I wanted the teeth to be a little more chunky, but I wanted to get it done by a deadline and did not feel I had time to redo the teeth. The teeth did get replaced once and I was happy with how it looked on the second time attached. I do not mark any angles for the teeth so each tooth has a different shape. I start with a large rectangle of material and run it through the machine moving it based on what I feel will be the right angle. The earflaps were done a little longer by request.

Web store

I have yet to finish creating my web store. I finally decided on a banner for the store. This time I made sure to mark my colored pencils. The scanner does not always scan the colors like they appear and I spent a while trying to figure out which ones I used for "Pond under Construction" picture.

More sharks...

When I got the request for a great white hat, I envisioned a hat similar to the ear flap ones I make. But the creation(July 30, 2009 post) turned to be a cap with a visor. I recently got another inquiry of a shark hat. So I once again pulled out my sketches and what I had been working on and started to finish an idea that was set aside.

It is not what I had envisioned. Still when I look at it I feel that i see a shark.

I think I got the blog bug. Or maybe I just need a break from other things. I do have a back log of things I would like to write about. I just rather not place it all in a long blog.

Quack

How did August sneak up on me? I feel as if I am still in June.

I remember having ducks when I was younger. Ducklings were so fuzzy and cute as they swam in the water. Ducks can also be mean. I still remember the pain of being bit by a duck. And all I was doing was feeding it some lettuce.

Duck hooded towel

As I fondly remember yellow ducklings, I created a duck hooded towel.

I debated on doing eyes on this towel. I went with my normal philosophy of simplicity and allowing the imagination of the view to interpret my creation.
