Threads 'n' shreds get together...

So fnally threads 'n' shreds manage to have another crafting get together! Its been awhile since our Owls were created, and we've found the time in our busy schedules, to now come up with some more creations, and add to the animal empire! We were hoping by the end of the evening to have come up with two templates, but we managed three!! And so the Cat, Rabbit and Sheep have started to take shape...

The first proto-types are always the hardest, and takes some experimenting with putting the pieces together, trying different techniques and getting the sizing of the features correct...

 When drawing the 2D image, the features look right, but transform them into 3D and you find that you need to really accentuate the features, to make them stand out!

Susan hit across a couple of issues, when attatching the various componants. Either the shapes were buckling, or the two different fabrics wouldnt mesh very well, but its all a learning curve!

So with any luck, we will get together again next week, and these animals will spring into their 3D shapes.......
