So I won a raffle of one of Nikki's sheep in one of the ones for Lynne. He's AWESOME and I've been carrying him around with me. Today on my lunch hour I took this tutorial out to the torch to play and had such a great time that I wanted to share. It's nowhere near Nikki's but I loved making him. Nikki, thanks for the tutorial and for my awesome bead! Obviously Nikki's is the one on the left. My little guy needed bigger feet and more fleece I think.

Awww, he's got a friend, how cool! The feet are ok, maybe closer together on the fleece -the tutorial is old, I've learned more since then, I should redo it. I usually dab all the wool on and leave it pointy, then melt it a bit at once...

GREAT first shot, I can't wait to see more!

It was really so much fun I was giggling when he was finished and I popped him in the kiln. Now he's sitting here with your sheep and a few of my little worri wart beads. They're my pretend friends! Ha!

LOL - My pretend friends started to overpower the house, that's why I started selling them. The dots drove me a little crazy on the first one, then i got overpowered by the cuteness and had to continue - plus if I do the faces first, they're STARING at me, so I can't quit!

Awwww! They're cute, and a great way to practice dots! I like making some of my critters with different sized pupils, so they look just a bit touched.

The one in the front with the red feet looks like he's sliding butt-first down a snowy hill and kicking anyone who's in his way.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that makes up little stories for them.
