We used our DIY loom with just 18 pegs. She loomed about half of before getting bored and handing it off to me. I must say I was impressed that she stayed with it so long. Fun fur is not a pleasant yarn to work with. This one is slightly different from the old one in that the elastic hole is now on his bum to make him a finger puppet or pencil topper. Since he is less than half the size of the old one, we also used a smaller clippy to attach him to her shoulder.
The eyes are black glass beads baked into a face that is skin-toned poly clay dusted with blue and purple eyeshadow. We added a tuft of various colors of acrylic yarn at his forehead.
great job...I too saw the puff breifly wehn we saw the movie...now to see it again when out on video.
ReplyDeleteThanks, westie-mom. Poor Arnold sure didn't get a very big part in the HBP movie. If you sneezed, you could have missed him. Ah well, maybe next the next one. :)
ReplyDeleteWe've worked on an even newer version that is waiting for a face. This time around we took some suggestions and tried combing acrylic yarn with a dog brush. Much more like the movie Arnold's body, I must say.
