"Is it possible to be pedantic about ice cream?"

I love her bat (which I will attempt myself at some stage) and her fire lizzard.

She is a most talented person.

The bat made me squee with joy. It's so cute! And life sized!

[widgeon7]

Those are amazing. Especially the ice cream!

[grace_poppy]

Aren't they?? (hello.)

[widgeon7]

Oh yes. I'd want them for my very own if they weren't the sort of plush toy my little dog finds fascinating. (I do intend to occasionally visit LJ, now I am done with sewing until the end of the year. :P)

I thought the Batarang would make a good dog toy. Though it would be kind of a waste of all that sewing talent to make something so cute just to be chewed up and drooled on.

That's... not a real cornetto?

Plushie. Click on the link up there.

Then explain to me why I still want to lick it!

Such a cute lil' bat! And I adore the ice cream - *L*! How did she start doing such things?

[ldhenson]

Thanks! I picked up Carolyn Vosburg Hall's book Sewing Tiny Toys on a whim at the library, made the bat, and was hooked. The rest of the designs are fannish-inspired, which as we all know is a great source of motivation :-D

[grace_poppy]

Anything with the word "tiny" catches my eye. I still want to see that book for myself. It sounds so fun!

[rosamundeb]

Wow - they're so neatly-done! That seems hard to do by hand, but I'm sure you can't use a sewing machine for something so small. The ice cream cone is brilliant. *G*

(p.s. Where did you get your name from?)

[snakey]

These are fantastic! <3
