two cheeky stars are sparkling in the sky...

I have been busy working on designs for my felt mobiles that I'm planning to put into my Etsy store soon. Well, as soon as I am finally happy with the design that is! And that might take about 500 years. I'm very demanding when it comes to my own work!

I do like these two cheeky little stars up there. They kinda made themselves, decided if they wanted to be boy or girl, what hair they liked, etc. The one with the long blond plaits is the girl, obviously (I hope) although she currently bears a definite resemblance to a certain french cartoon caracter with stripey pants. Do you know who I mean? Check it out here. But don't tell her, she might be offended...

I am planning to put the two stars together with a moon, once I have finally decided on their designs. That will be my first mobile. I have tons of ideas for more mobile designs: flowers, cars, dinosaurs, kittens, leaves.. you get the idea!

Here are some more pics of the stars, front and back, when they were playing hide-and-seek around my laptop. Like the little star-boys hair? ;-)

Being inspired by...

Felt

Lately I have discovered felt as a new material to work with and I love it! I have ordered some great felt from Feltcraftstudio which I'm very pleased with.

At the moment I'm workig on felt mobiles which is great fun. Take a look at the few things I've tried so far (they are constantly evolving until I'm happy to carry one idea further)

I started off with these little flowers, and even though I believe they are a bit simple they were great to start with, now I'm going from there

Now the flower shape has become 3-dimensional

And that is my little car, isn't he cute? I'm very pleased with him, but he might go from 2D to 3D too as he is a bit heavy to hang up. He needs some substance, that cheeky little guy

What do you think of my creations?

Anna from muchlove has tagged me, something to blog about very soon ;-)
