Further crafting adventures

[shazrasha]

Having started a lot of projects yesterday I felt the urge to finish something today. So I set about looking at the crafts that could be made as efficiently as possible.

I dipped the Hedgehog spines a bit more. They might be ready or I might need one more grading of colour. I've not quite decided.

I then finished the Rabbit Hat which by a slight miscalculation ended up being about half an inch too small for my head. Not that that was important as such.

I also finished the hat I plan on using as a base for the hedgehog spines so once they are done I can get that out of the way as well.

Then I decided to work on my bracer of calligraphy things. I think it worked. Though am not sure the pen looks right so might swap that for something else.

All in all a semi productive day. I can't quite get enough energy together to work on something else as well despite knowing that tomorrow I'll have to do a lot of cleaning to catch up.

My energy levels I blame on the wierd dream I had with a dryad that could heal people, but needed to get energy from the blood of her victims which she then cast revenge spells with...Not sure what my brain was up to there.

I love your work, the bracer is gorgeous :D

Isn't it just? That piece of kit pretty much had Hedgehogs designed around it. :P


The bunny ears are cool - I'd love to see some really long ones, but not sure how well they would hold up.

The short ones don't really stand up, so long ones would flop even more. The hat doesn't really do well for keeping them upright.

Hmmm. We need to make a half a dozen pairs of rabbit ears for the game, so we're going to be experimenting with cheap-and-simple methods. I'll let you know how I get on. I have a plan of building them on wire / cardboard and fixing them with a curve of wire under a hatband.
We'll see.

Well in the case of my hat it's technically the hat that flops not the ears so if it were attached to a band and just went through the hat it would work better.
