CATCH UP

Green fluffy spotty monster with a tiny mousey as a shelf sitter ( he is not suitable for under 14 years of age)

I have neglected this blog spot due to the pressure of the Sock Monkey side of my business (http://www.monkeygang.co.uk). New laws were introduced requiring all toys to carry the CE label and my monkeys and sock toys have gone through this process.

Scraplings are Art Dolls made from scraps of different materials designed as a shelf sitter or decoration they are not suitable for under 14 years of age

New designs will be available soon through a Facebook page

I need chocolate............that normally helps to inspire me.

I want to make something flowery and brightly coloured to remind me of the Summer . I am going to empty the contents of my scrap drawer on to the desk and see what I can find. Mother's Day(UK) is coming up next month so perhaps I can add a baby Scrapling as well.

I will be back later when I emerge with some sort of plan.............. also a giveaway planned for end of February

Monsters Eyeballs

I have been experimenting with an alternative way to make eyeballs for the Scraplings. One way that I tried was needle felting on to a material background and then cutting around the outline. It seems to have worked out ok

Recovering from the Bank Holiday

This little fellow arrived from @tiny oyster designs. I won him in a competition on her blog. He is being greeted by the Scrapling girls who adore him. Things are getting back to normal after the Bank Holiday, new stock is being produced although I seem to be on a go slow today. Pictures will be posted soon

Rainy Summer days

Waiting for inspiration for a Scrapling .....it is so grey and wet outside I think it will have to be something bright and cheerful. I have gone against my plans and booked a craft fair for the middle of September, it is to raise money for church repairs so for a good cause.

I refuse to think about the "C" word yet although Halloween is the next event on the calender to get the creative juices going. There are so many talented crafters around I love seeing all the different ideas that come up for sale. I think I will close my eyes and pick a piece of material and see what evolves ..
