My sister is having a baby due this summer and I've been working on a ton of projects since last fall for my niece. I haven't shared any of them because I wanted the gifts to be a surprise for the shower, but now that we are past that I can finally share all the things! First up is this blanket which took quiet a while. I actually made two of these at once as my cousin was also having a baby. Most of these animals came from this 3D Granny Square Book. I did supplement with a few other animals I found in other places. I also changed a few of the patterns as I went.
While the idea started off as a baby blanket, this definitely grew in size to one that will be with my niece through her first few years.
I recently purchased GR Pottery's Wallie Crescent Moon. I liked the shape, but I really wanted to know if they would fit together in a larger pattern - which they do. How cool would this be as a lazy susan centerpiece?
This was made with another new Mugg Plugg, I think it's the 942. However, when cutting the form I messed up. It was too big then I was cutting on the fly and made it too small at the top. I made lemons from lemonade and made this little v-shape. I like it. I am worried that it will not have fit for purpose though and is too small and will tip over. We will see once it comes through glaze firing.
Still playing with a puki foot and designing a new bowl around it. These are the same dimensions except one is taller than the other. I feel like this is a nice serving bowl, or a bowl for a lot of ice cream. I plan on making a few more. I think I might also try to create a lid for for a jar in the future.
I was looking at this one drying and decided to try it out as a yarn bowl. I think it's deep enough. I forgot how difficult it is to carve the swirly thing.
