spot molly ... in my art exhibition ....

so here we were on a rainy Saturday ... Elton John ready with those plush scissors I made ...

Elton is really Ed Hintze, and Cat has probably heckled him too many times at choir practice ... the neighbours are suitable shocked!

some one steps in, and finally Elton attacks the pink ribbon, for Steve's camera ...

It takes quite some time to cut through it ...

And its OPEN, after Eltons lovely speech ...

and the crowd rush in ....

to fondle my 'art for the hands' mats ...

say hello to molly the owl ...

choose some colourful and reasonable priced cards ...

and enjoy a little SPICE!

WIP - molly the barn owl needs new feet ....

WIP - molly the barn owl number II

i shape the barn owl face with needle sculpting using strong thread ... can you see the shape appearing? the lovely dense fur I am using here looks like fine feathers ...



next, insert the glass eyes ...
it looks cute even jyst like this, with no beak!



and here is molly the barn owls face, complete with some shading ...



and wings are added too, with button joints ...



she is looking very cute already ... legs and feel next ....

getting ready to make a second molly ....

I am going to make a second soft sculpture molly ... i only make a few light sketches to get a feel of the shapes. it actually puts me in the mood for molly art work tho!

I am always amazed how drawing helps you see shapes better than just looking alone, although of course I watched a lot of molly footage LOL!

For my Molly-loving friends

A little offering...Molly in the Rose Garden.

Owl My Love ...

i was challenged to make a Molly Owl by an innocent victim of MOD ...



who like it so much she adopted it right away!



I regularly make soft sculpture and enjoyed the challenge of beautiful molly. I looked at a lot of screen-captures as well as some of the footage saved from the live cam ...



my Molly features German glass eyes, English mohair, felted woollen fabrics, machine and hand embroidery details ... Also, needle-felted beak and claws.



Yikes, I would not want to be that little mouse (also made by me)...



Number one Molly living in London .... I will share with you the Work-in-progress as i make another lovelt molly owl ...
