Just in time for spring, I've finished writing the PDF pattern for my chick design. The 13 page document contains step by step photographs, diagrams and descriptions explaining the process of how to make one of these little guys. The PDF contains pattern pieces for three different sizes, depending on how small/large you want to make it!
You can purchase my pattern at the following places:
One of these chicks would be a great handmade addition to any Easter basket!
Ever since I've been making my shelf-sized, 10" jointed dinosaurs, I've wanted to create one that was much larger. I use little buttons inside each of the limbs on the smaller dinosaurs, so I had to order bigger doll joints for this upcoming project. The day before the joints were scheduled to arrive, I get a message from someone asking if I can make one of my dinosaurs in a larger size, about 2' tall. The timing could not have been better! I love when these things happen! The recipient of my largest jointed creation has already named him Eugene, and he is so happy to be going to a loving home.
If you're going to Toy Fair, stop by booth 5688 to visit with the Cooper family and hear all about their invention, the Doodle Roll®: a roll of paper and crayons contained in a compact, portable kit. It's simple, brilliant and has been very successful. It's small enough to fit in a purse so kids can have creative fun anywhere they go.
This will be their second year at Toy Fair, and they asked if I would take some of the characters they had created for them called "The Doodles" and turn them into large plush mascots to make an impact in their booth. If you can't make it to Toy Fair, you can see the results here:
