Astrobat! What an awesome idea!

The wings are amazing.

He is well disguised to hunt his prey! He'll blend right in with the sky above

Thank you all! I really do love how his wings look.

363. Christmas Haul 3



An odd little one; this is actually a Steiff teddy bear necklace. It's adorable.

TEDDY BEAR NECKLACE!!! Me wants!

That’s a nicely detailed little bear. Perhaps he can serve as a little bear for one of your larger characters.

I'm amused that the bear also appears to be wearing a (butterfly?) necklace... Nothing like being able to say your necklace is wearing a necklace!

Cute. Looks like he would be perfect for some of your dolls.

He looks very smart with his bling.

The astrobat is so cool with the galaxy on his wings.

And the teddy necklace is cute - is he modelled on a particular bear, or just a general Steiff bear?

Thanks, all. Teddy bear necklace is just a general Steiff bear. I may pose him with some other dolls at some point.

364. Christmas Haul 4



Mini Steiff bears. Aunt Lucy and Paddington - based more on the movie designs but still! Ah, they're so adorable, and lovely. It's not clear in the picture, but Aunt Lucy even has a little beaded necklace!

Your regiment of bears (bearegiment?) got quite bigger, didn't it? Congrats!

They look to be very high quality little bears, nicely detailed and solidly crafted.

The size is not readily apparent in this photo; would those eyeglasses have other potential Dolly applications?

Thanks, all! Aunt Lucy is the tallest at 14cm, so I suspect these two would make cool toys for bigger dolls. Also sorry for no post yesterday, I had a surprising amount on and the day got away from me. Happy Hogmanay!

365. Sewing: Basil's Dennis the Menace Outfit



Another little outfit for Basil, and another one that is inspired by a British comic book character. This time Dennis the Menace, who debuted the same week as his US counterpart but is a good bit more naughty than him. Even if that's been pulled back a lot more. Here's a history of him on wiki: here. Still, every kid knows his red and black striped jumper and his black shorts. It suits Basil.
