Sunday Crochet Frenzy

Had a bit of a stall on Gol Goroth this week while I waited for some blue wire to arrive to support the feathers. So I started on a Gug (especially for Tonia).

Gug Legs

I found some great lumpy wool on sale and am experimenting with texture in this one, I think it looks kind of like stone.

Gug Claw

The blue wire arrived late in the week so I have spent the day trying to get the tail to work, I think it will but it is hard to tell at this stage because the excess armature keeps flopping over.

Gol Goroth Tail

I must thank the lovely Karla over at Itsy Bitsy Spider for the inspiration for the tail feathers, the idea came after seeing pictures of her beautiful doves.

    Thanks guys I am really enjoying the design process on these. I worked on relatively quick repeatable projects for the market stall most of last year and it is really satisfying to do some big one-off complicated designs.

    Ha, ha, glad you are doing a Gug - now you just have to stop Scott from making rude comments about it's mouth. The textured, lumpy wool looks amazing.
