work; photos: schrodinger, plushie

[amezri]

Work was crap like always. Had a load of things I was supposed to do and then was given a load of other things to do on top of that. Got someof it done and... sort of don't give a crap about the rest.

Got home and found that my torrents stalled half way through, so I've still got 3 hours to go. Meh. Hopefully I'll be able to watch 2.18 tonight. Oh, and yet another blow? I got a statement from the hospital saying my insurance denied my claim and I owe them $255. Ugh. I don't know if I'm going to have enough money to pay it before I leave since I just paid my insurance, credit card bill, and had to buy more checks. Though, yeah, I probably could have not gotten the United Federation of Planets checks, but I'm a Trek geek.

forcryinoutloud - I got mail! :D Thank yooouu! Can't wait to watch then ^__^ You rock! That was a big hooray for the day.

Finally, I have photos of Schrodinger. They're not really great, but... meh. You can get an idea.



And... more photos, this time of spaggel's devil doodle, which you can see here. It's the cutest thing ever and the plushie Imade is not exactly the same, but I think I got pretty close.



Craft felt for the body, eyes, and heart part of the tail. Black leather lacing for the tail. Polyfil for the stuffing. Hand-sewn except for the eyes, which are glued on.

I'm not really keen on the way I attached the arms and the legs to the body, so if I make another I'll figure something else out. I bought enough felt to make three or four of them but it takes way longer to make one than I thought.

voleuse posted a link to the fandom wank wiki, which... is sort of amusing. Actually, it's the fandom desciptions that make me laugh.

One more hour left on my SGA torrent!!

SCORE! I'm glad you like it :D

Wasn't sure if the mouth came out all right -- think on the next one I might try for a larger grin. Gonna work on another one or two before it's good enough to send your way ^___^

You're welcome! :D

OMG! The devil plushie is freaking adorable!! :P

[amezri.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I still think it's sort of lumpy and needs fixing.

I'm delighted by the plushie -- and just as you said that maybe on later plushies you'll come up with something better for attaching the limbs (maybe sewing them into the side seams?), I'm betting that you'll get much quicker at making them with practice.

[amezri.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, for the next one, I'm probably going to either sew the arms into the sides, or make the arms part of the body pattern. Will give both a try maybe.

[fyrdrakken]

Sewing the limbs into the body seams will make the sewing perhaps a bit trickier, but the arms and legs should wind up flopping back and forth satisfactorily. Making the arms part of the body will make cutting out trickier and it won't be very mobile when it's stuffed. And another option, given the way the original sketch had stick figure arms and legs, would be to use the same leather lacing as the tail to do the limbs (maybe with little felt hands and feet like the tailtip, or maybe tying shorter leather bits on at the "hands" to give three digits), but I can definitely see why you've gone with the plush limbs instead.
