This is a wee bjd doll I finally cast in resin... being the first there were certainly some learning curves! And I also found how easy it was to carve and sand so this girl turned out very differently from the original wee doll I molded!<br />
I blushed and did her face in pastel chalk which wasn't as hard as I imagined but still came with some problems!<br />
<br />
The first face up was just what I wanted but until I held her in natural light I didn't see some smudges that had been there under one of the sealer coats! So being me I thought maybe a light wet sand would remove them... well yes as you can imagine I had temporarily lost my brain and tried it!!! Long story short do not make the same mistake... I then ended up having to remove all the face up which unto itself was very very difficult and a lot of it wouldn't move in the creases!!!!! So redid the face up and after taking pictures I can see where need to go over some colours... but over all I'm thrilled with her :o)) ... so just need to do the touch up and blush her hands, stick on the back of her head and give her some hair and clothes :o))))))<br />
<br />
Hope you like....<br />

Ps will take some cuter pics later as these are terrible and don't do her justice!Sharon's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818334896971384686noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899484233258615923.post-55229233972248487832010-12-22T10:14:00.000-08:002010-12-22T19:07:56.121-08:00Planet Bid an auction place I found!!!Hey Guys found this great auction place yesterday ... so excited by the prices stuff was going for I had to sign up LOL. They have loads of electronics like Dyson vacuums, laptops, iphones, ipads, and more... even some girly stuff like handbags and perfume! Its called Planet Bid and if you haven't checked it out you have to! Theres a <a href="http://planetbid.com/">Planetbid</a> in the <a href="http://planetbid.com/">US</a> ,<a href="http://planetbid.com.au/"> Oz</a>, and even here in little old <a href="http://www.planetbid.co.nz/">NZ</a> just click the countries to go have a look you will be very surprised if you've not already found it.<br />
How it works, well it pretty simple you buy "freebids" which gives you a certain amount of bids to use... you have to be careful though as you can go crazy and use a few too many but hey you have to get your feet wet and try to get a feel for the auction :o))...since everyone is paying for bids thats how they are able to let stuff go for very very little money! Was up till very late last night waiting for a macbook pro to count down safe to say I blinked and missed the end of it.. (next time I shall use toothpicks to make sure I don't blink LOL)..really amazed me as that mac went for 54c nzd!!!!!!!This place is so much Fun even if you dont join up you still have fun just watching!!!LMAO<br />
There are other ways of getting freebids like bidding on them ... or if like me your just starting out and want some free freebids then write up a blog poat like I have here send them the link and they will slip you a few freebie freebids...Planetbid also offer a points program where you earn points for bidding that you can spend.<br />
<br />
Lastly if anyone does join up and have the inclination could you pop my user in as ref when you sign up so I can get some more freebie freebids my user id is Shawkes :o))Sharon's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09818334896971384686noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899484233258615923.post-38610445338615436722010-02-15T12:02:00.000-08:002010-02-15T12:02:49.595-08:00here's the sculpt so far<div style="text-align: center;">Well guys I thought I'd post up pics of that sculpt I was doing for my interview... sad to say things didn't quite go to plan in the last firing ... safe to say in my hurry I forgot that you do not fire your sculpt standing as when the clay starts to heat it becomes like rubber ...so the weight of the upper body made her lean and she suffered broken legs... well I super glued them the next morning and well that didn't take as well as it should ...so will have to dig out the broken area and fill with new clay... then I will have to readjust the bottom of her stand so she's not leaning painfully off balance... unfortunately the interview is today so not going to happen... still wondering if I should take her anyway...apart from the firing problems she's still a good sculpt!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well here's some pics :o))</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn25Ui95CZVrSt9407Cd0unqSMt4GHYZPrgp-GKPHbI72PWLduKL0qJBqhj5pLUDv47DXwVmeu0yZzAYaKoxtJgvRYCDKbDhHx6zQTY-jR4H4GLyq_ajQbLCPnqmvpkM5Xc2aDcHAon-I/s1600-h/P1000017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn25Ui95CZVrSt9407Cd0unqSMt4GHYZPrgp-GKPHbI72PWLduKL0qJBqhj5pLUDv47DXwVmeu0yZzAYaKoxtJgvRYCDKbDhHx6zQTY-jR4H4GLyq_ajQbLCPnqmvpkM5Xc2aDcHAon-I/s320/P1000017.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtx8XMXOYsWn3RshT47WV3iX-U2QugBizNZkd1XQtNV0TIGEcMB5l4PDR-AoPpXQb-K-c9gK_x7ZkF3zGEbDqEuiSMMSxg8ro1B9KMkEbx6JXHXgcBASXg7_eCbp_nxo1gSalPDAJnUlM/s1600-h/P1000016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtx8XMXOYsWn3RshT47WV3iX-U2QugBizNZkd1XQtNV0TIGEcMB5l4PDR-AoPpXQb-K-c9gK_x7ZkF3zGEbDqEuiSMMSxg8ro1B9KMkEbx6JXHXgcBASXg7_eCbp_nxo1gSalPDAJnUlM/s320/P1000016.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigqT5N8ez7FLV0uLwL4oCAUkbTLr8sfPRrZS5-GJ7Z4sGbgnpEfRGksgwYnW5EZEhJw8OhXbokmxW1bQ8HaJGZtbrvnnRIdTp3Kehe-0QQgvKyh6pSf2jCz41UMreL5D7M8Veb1LBHA8Y/s1600-h/P1000018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigqT5N8ez7FLV0uLwL4oCAUkbTLr8sfPRrZS5-GJ7Z4sGbgnpEfRGksgwYnW5EZEhJw8OhXbokmxW1bQ8HaJGZtbrvnnRIdTp3Kehe-0QQgvKyh6pSf2jCz41UMreL5D7M8Veb1LBHA8Y/s320/P1000018.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I drilled 2 holes through the upper and lower parts of the joints then inserted a brass bar, so each section of leg is individually threaded hoping for a tighter joint ...also I popped in a brass bar across her hips in hopes of making the top of the legs more stable for standing... strung her up again but unfortunately she is going to be a sitting, laying or kneeling doll... she is just too heavy to stand ...I guess this happens often with ooak dolls made from heavy paperclay... am hoping to try doing some resin ones in the future so they being lighter shouldn't have the same problems!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well I did buy her a nice wig from ebay last week and it arrived yesterday so this morning I have restrung her for the last time and have put the back of her head back on, got her wig on and have styled it with wee pigtails :o)) I'm thrilled with how she looks even though disappointed she'll not stand!</span><br />

I was originally just going to knot the elastic at the top of her head and secure it beneath skin level then clay over to hide... but I chose a heavier elastic and being 8 ends it just wouldn't be able to secure properly... so this morning I gave her a bit of brain surgery and cut off the back if her head and then drilled a couple of hole and threaded a solid brass pipe ... this is what I secured the elastic too... good lot of knotting and before I attach the back of her head I'll pop some superglue on the knots so they wont come loose.... so the last problem will be the fact the black leather is leaving smudgy black marks... this will take a bit of puzzling .... any ideas?<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">Now I did find a couple of things that just didn't sit right after the last test stringing, 1 the right knee joint was not allowing the thigh and lower leg pieces to touch as they should when she's in standing position so rather than digging out the 2 pieces further to make the cups where the joint sits deeper I made that joint just a touch smaller...this worked great and isn't noticeable and I'd be the first to notice it and that would bother me LOL... so after I made that joint smaller I restrung again and found I still had some problems with the right leg... when she stood her right knee would bend...after looking and looking I found the lower right leg was about 2mm longer so she had to have that cut off... safe to say after restringing all was well so I then started painting her skin tone... ended up with a few more problems ..this time not with the doll herself but my mini compressor died ...which isn't surprising as Andrew my partner confessed to dropping it ... so out we went and got a new one which he paid for :o))... well got it home and set it up then found I didn't have the the wee connection needed to attach my air brush gun!! So had to go find one of those and instead found a nice wee new gun which was only $25.00 so was thrilled... got everything hooked up finally and what can I say but that wee cheap gun works better than my imported more costly one LOL<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">Right after blabbering on here are the pictures I've taken of her as she looks at present ... but I'm now going to sit down and give her some highlights and a bit more of a face... but before that I will clean up around her eyeballs just a bit as there is still a wee bit of paint I've not taken off yet. But once thats done she'll be ready for her last stringing ... Yay!!! :o))<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">So watch out for more piccies as I'm gonna go for gold and will work on her straight till she's done!<br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now the last is an update on the Bjd dolls... I've added the eyes finally to the big one they are the diy eyes and couldn't have been more pleased with the results! So simple to just print out the coloured eye you like and place in the indent then snap the clear over the top!... made hands and feet... she's had numerous coatings of filler/primer and sanded sanded and sanded ... also I reshaped her knees and cut off some of her lower legs ... I think she's almost ready for proper painting and putting together... but will do a test stringing and see who she moves... might have to change the knees again but we will see :o))<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a pink one in the processes of being created... it's gonna look fantastic :o)) visit <a href="http://materialmagic.blogspot.com/%20%20">Sharon</a> to see how she's going!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lets get going... I'm going to start with the wings ... so here's a pic of what you'll need... please note I am using cernit but that's not a requirement ...you any polymer they will all turn out the same :o))<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglBNIFOvGLMBYQhvYMyzUBajGYAzkZdpRBvoY8mWco_fJfY08-wXyTM4HcwqKMrV743kJ88gcXvVkl-FJWMXZp5in-ZkW450aZ9RbbRyvul567MMH90JTanYdsb4t80najObVBZk7EQqw/s1600-h/PICT00130.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglBNIFOvGLMBYQhvYMyzUBajGYAzkZdpRBvoY8mWco_fJfY08-wXyTM4HcwqKMrV743kJ88gcXvVkl-FJWMXZp5in-ZkW450aZ9RbbRyvul567MMH90JTanYdsb4t80najObVBZk7EQqw/s320/PICT00130.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> next I've rolled out about half of the pkt of clay ... probably about 1-2mm thick..then I've cut 2 pieces of wire and folded them in half and twisted it folded side till it's about an inch long... then I cut the wire to the length I wanted by holding up to the side of my wee horse..<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">here's a pic of one piece of wire cut on top of the white rolled out clay...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR7XE40aZtmYuIkXsuaYPe5ohOcLvAWxxSSMHQ4kJdBU6sUQbODG0P5ZhuL8-As37tGk-aYt-BFaknNsF9RADIwAQ8l87gFkrm8h3sHK8Dg25k-lOBCY_QIYmQiyVt3PuCw5RM4AagNmQ/s1600-h/PICT00132.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR7XE40aZtmYuIkXsuaYPe5ohOcLvAWxxSSMHQ4kJdBU6sUQbODG0P5ZhuL8-As37tGk-aYt-BFaknNsF9RADIwAQ8l87gFkrm8h3sHK8Dg25k-lOBCY_QIYmQiyVt3PuCw5RM4AagNmQ/s320/PICT00132.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">once you've cut both the wing wire to match lay them on the clay making sure the twisted end is hanging over the edge of the clay... this this then end we will insert into the horse so needs to be as clay free as you can get it!... trim the clay so it's about 1/2cm away from the outer edge of the wire ... rub a little baby oil or liquid clay over the wire and overlap of clay... then fold that clay edge over the wire and press it down so that it's well attached to the clay... then slice down the middle of the wings .. like below...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWfgogBPruJJSYPOdiNEeIb6Fp132T3V00MlTnSsLoskBAT8QSWhPbm0z90MLmltNFUEK36IOWipGzBuG4_2clim8Kl-bZ_sxhDy7KH1DAliL4jU9Qy-RiaIrReu0Gm04bUJpXy3xMEA/s1600-h/PICT0035.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrWfgogBPruJJSYPOdiNEeIb6Fp132T3V00MlTnSsLoskBAT8QSWhPbm0z90MLmltNFUEK36IOWipGzBuG4_2clim8Kl-bZ_sxhDy7KH1DAliL4jU9Qy-RiaIrReu0Gm04bUJpXy3xMEA/s320/PICT0035.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next give the wing some shape by cutting it like this...remember to make sure you have a pair ...we don;t want to have 2 lefts or rights!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA3SAqhQr0zzSr7lkZeNHc0QiKRDxs5-m-LXGwK6vYKV2tP2yxsSBPFgFQjr2ZBm2EeAMbCRceCTOHJdk3LfE7ya3y6zjfYbtISHH8gvCA86A8BdFxjd_OEgzVP5oYpp5nEdzHipYYBrs/s1600-h/PICT0036.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA3SAqhQr0zzSr7lkZeNHc0QiKRDxs5-m-LXGwK6vYKV2tP2yxsSBPFgFQjr2ZBm2EeAMbCRceCTOHJdk3LfE7ya3y6zjfYbtISHH8gvCA86A8BdFxjd_OEgzVP5oYpp5nEdzHipYYBrs/s320/PICT0036.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Right with your knitting needle begin to press and drag it through the clay from the wire to the cut edge... press harder as you get toward the cut edge so that your tool goes through the clay all the way to the plate...my plate you can see in the picture is a tile I use for making then baking on.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEchyH8BbOBdgkgr8g-5UBB0YeBxlsx98Z-RuZzaAYXJPRXqialeRnQXwIKmh2arwrP608CMep0xFL2RgSAD35Rl5EPn5Q7ScUMIDuZGl7-4LZdjr12lc9g8S1EeQHhKYMHU6XjrhN0uE/s1600-h/PICT0037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEchyH8BbOBdgkgr8g-5UBB0YeBxlsx98Z-RuZzaAYXJPRXqialeRnQXwIKmh2arwrP608CMep0xFL2RgSAD35Rl5EPn5Q7ScUMIDuZGl7-4LZdjr12lc9g8S1EeQHhKYMHU6XjrhN0uE/s320/PICT0037.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now after you've done that you should have something that looks a bit like mine here...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mnC_2OVqyW-1sbwHvIu8e9SY3Uh-5dLDZXGaFRINYAnHRZF5TeX76n86R2e4oJN9rcjWobkmkWilR0rVb0ephQ6Z1NfaszrAJDFQm7QHGmdq7Jh1pdyB8QlD-T4DcxdmSIq6hDWUerI/s1600-h/PICT0038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mnC_2OVqyW-1sbwHvIu8e9SY3Uh-5dLDZXGaFRINYAnHRZF5TeX76n86R2e4oJN9rcjWobkmkWilR0rVb0ephQ6Z1NfaszrAJDFQm7QHGmdq7Jh1pdyB8QlD-T4DcxdmSIq6hDWUerI/s320/PICT0038.jpg" /></a><br />

</a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once you have both wings done lift them off your surface as gently as you can ...we don;t want to rip them or pull the wire out...once you have lifted bend the wire into the pose you want ...then repeat on the other...they don't have to be exact so don;t try else you'll be at it all day and frankly I really love that mine don't match...makes for a more interesting piece!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Righty then place them on some fiber fill ready to be baked soon as we've done the horn...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next pop everything in the oven and bake as the direction tell you on the packet...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Okay when cooked and cooled it's time to decorate as you'd like... for me I brushed some glue over just the spirals of the horn and sprinkled with glitter... then because I'm a bit of a fire bug I lit a candle and just gently burned it just enough to take the brilliant white and cut down on the sparkle of the glitter... now I chose to do this as my wee guy has a lot of gray in him and the white was just too white ...for the wings I just burned them again just gently to take away the "white"!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For attachment use a needle tool or a doll needle and poke it into the place were the wing will be attached... wriggle it around and make sure it's wide enough to insert that wire on the wing... if the wire is too long trim it off so it's shorter but not too short as we want it to be firmly in there... when your happy with that use a drop or 2 of superglue on the end of the wire and also the bit of clay at the top of the wire... re-insert and hold till it's taken... then bend the wire to the angle you like... please don't try and bend the wings themselves else they will break!... repeat for the other wing and also for the horn...when your done you should have something like mine here :o))<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Firstly we are going to add the long hair over the hooves and lower legs... so take a length of the fiber your using and measuring from about the knee down to the bottom of the hoof cut that from the length of fiber... do the same for each leg ...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVHHv5IHbOfW3YCVk5D9sk-5sTpGy0p5LDLmfM7YqyNRntynWdWGlQ_1tHN0J6PGSrTT2SnqLM6EDLsKgV7vO2QNj5oGnakIkoAQmIctxxvtWtuxLp0wd3ciIzY2ZnPob4eV9JZeFCEQ/s1600-h/PICT00012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVHHv5IHbOfW3YCVk5D9sk-5sTpGy0p5LDLmfM7YqyNRntynWdWGlQ_1tHN0J6PGSrTT2SnqLM6EDLsKgV7vO2QNj5oGnakIkoAQmIctxxvtWtuxLp0wd3ciIzY2ZnPob4eV9JZeFCEQ/s320/PICT00012.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next using a good tacky glue brush some on the top of one of your cut pieces..<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now wrap this around the knee area... yep this is a messy job so do your best...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Do this for each of the legs but only the front of the leg that's bent...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Okay that done allow to semi dry... now before it's fully dry usually about 2-3min ..start to felt the top in where the glue is ... use you needle at the same angle I have here... this will help aid in avoiding your fingers... also remember to go in straight so you don't break your needles!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once you have done that to all 4 of the legs we'll trim them a bit... note the direction of the scissors... if you trim off the bottom then when your feathering the hair always cut down the hair using just the tip of your scissors... remember to snip little by little we dont want to take chunks out just sort of layer it a bit... now if your happy with the layering stop there... if your not happy with the layering as its a bit thick on the bottom ...that is easy to correct by taking you scissors and snipping upward to thin it out a little... idealistically I aim for just a hint of hoof being visible through the hair... but again this is up to your taste :o))<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But first lets highlight some bone areas... best way to describe it to you is have a look at the pictures...

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next well attach it down just gently to keep it sitting on the side... note were my needle is in the next picture then just gently felt across the neck... only a few stabs with the needle as we don't want to flatten it or have a line there...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Righty lets get started on the 3rd lesson... this is going to be a long one and may raise a few questions so let me know if something isn't as clear for you to understand.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Firstly sew the neck opening closed this doesn't have to be all neat and tidy we just want to sew it flat.<br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLllkZdZZgtxuBlOfcEvo0y1HA5QXg1tnyAFfPkpHkAYId9EWH0Aw6_HcHQv3RhtBzgolW3M9lSqHVoamD9awxBKok_udLrzACalgW2fbcLybJro7pEdXM9SLWHr7DQM8j0xVXqUJb1co/s1600-h/PICT0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLllkZdZZgtxuBlOfcEvo0y1HA5QXg1tnyAFfPkpHkAYId9EWH0Aw6_HcHQv3RhtBzgolW3M9lSqHVoamD9awxBKok_udLrzACalgW2fbcLybJro7pEdXM9SLWHr7DQM8j0xVXqUJb1co/s320/PICT0002.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Next we'll get some fiber on the head... now I always start by felting the wool onto the flat front of the head then down the sides ... do the under part last... this just helps to keep track of where all the curves are.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Legs next... here is were your going to have to have plenty of patience and work slowly and carefully as stabbing yourself with those needle are not pleasant! wrap a bit of wool around the leg felting one side down just enough to keep it down... fold the other end over and begin felting... keep felting the wool down until it becomes a nice skin...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now if you have made your horses legs a bit thin then felt wool only to the knee level...we'll cover the bottoms of the legs in lesson 4 <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Next cover the whole body in wool or fiber ... I always start at the tummy and chest ...as you work you'll notice the legs will be pulled in so they aren't so splayed.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Now is time to attach the head... play around and pin in different positions until you find one you like... now thread your black beads onto some very strong thread about 8-10" length ... thread a doll needle with the ends of one set of eyes and push needle through eye position and through to the back of the neck as you'll see below I have... slip needle off and repeat for the second eye coming out again at the back of the neck but as close to the other thread as possible ..tie both threads together pulling tightly and knot a few times... re-thread the needle with both threads and loose ends within the body. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Righty ears ...he certainly needs them ... and I'm sure you guys that haven't much experience in needle felting will find them challenging... but I will endeaver to explain them as simply as I can...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Start with 2 balls of wool roughly the same size... if you printed your horse to A4 size you'll need balls of wool around the size of small plums... if like me your doing your horse to around half the size then your balls of wool will need to be about Cherry size... now to get these sizes you need to take a piece of wool and scrunch it up in the palm of your hand and squeeze it... this is the way you judge the size that piece of wool will felt down to!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Okay so you've gotten your 2 balls of wool ready ..now just flatten it down and sort of shape it with your fingers to a triangle shape...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now lastly for this lesson we'll tidy up some of those very annoying fluffy bits sticking out all over the place... there are 2 ways to do this ...1stly you can take a pair of small scissors like manacure ones and clip them off as closely as you can ..or if you have a heat gun simple give an overall blast with the heatgun until those hairs shrink and disapear... if you do use the heatgun I must warn you to keep the heatgun moving at all times and dont hold it too closely as burned wool doesn't look nice ...at least not on this guy :o))<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br />
Here's how he looks after his blast with the heatgun...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Again I have to say sorry for the pictures ... I do miss our good camera!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Right now you'll use your knitting needle to slope the clay down to your work surface...as in pictures below...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is an optional step... I like to add a little detail to the under hoof by adding in the wee frog and hollowing it out a bit like the real thing... if you don't want to do this just skip to the next stage of trimming...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Turn the hoof over so you'll be working on the flat under side... now using your knitting needle press a triangle into the clay at the pinched side... then using your thumbs push the clay out away from the triangle leaving the triangle raised... place a small line down the middle of that triangle and that's that done :o))<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now you'll lift the hoof of the hard surface and trim off the excess and making a nice round hoof... when you get to this stage with the next hooves take the already trimmed hoof and the one you want to trim and place flat sides together then simply trim to match the other hoof... remember to use your finger and smooth any rough or hard edges... don't push too hard with your fingers just gently rub!<br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Now we'll dig a hole in the top as I have with this pic... this will accommodate the cloth hoof of the body... <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">almost there now :o))<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay here's something I don't think I put on the materials list ... Liquid polymer clay... if you don't have any a wee bit of baby oil will do just as well... this will be used to help the polymer clay stick to the cloth... so rub either the liquid clay or the baby oil on the cloth hoof... try not to go too high into the leg... pop the hoofs on and blend the top of the clay to the leg... once you have all the hooves on and have made sure the horse balances then pop the whole thing in the oven and bake the clay to the manufactures specification... when baked and cooled paint black or brown...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well guys here is lesson 1 ...thanks for being patent :o))... I got a cheap camera and well what can I say ... you get what you pay for...so excuse the pictures some are a little blurry so I will do my best to explain them as we go!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here I've traced out my pattern pieces onto some calico (muslin for you guys in the US) and I've taken some really cheap white glue and run a line over the pencil lines... smear this in so you don't have any lumps when it dries... I've done this as it stops the fraying of the material while your handling it and having seams pop open! <br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPgWTQChtkabqUqtM1Kkw_BKWRngoxttosBjNDGhP-WZ2zBhRwPrmiRMLAhvEGYz8wIaWeJsltQolwLoxM39afvDEuabWrpWRUyKDnVohi0it081CS2UiHerXNlekV4zzsaF1HknAhFU/s1600-h/PICT0006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPgWTQChtkabqUqtM1Kkw_BKWRngoxttosBjNDGhP-WZ2zBhRwPrmiRMLAhvEGYz8wIaWeJsltQolwLoxM39afvDEuabWrpWRUyKDnVohi0it081CS2UiHerXNlekV4zzsaF1HknAhFU/s320/PICT0006.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Next we cut out the pieces we will need which are the sides and the inner side pieces as below and sew them together only around the inside of the legs, tummy (not the back or front of the legs) using a small stitch on your sewing machine and a 1/4 seam... Use the edge of your sewing machine foot for a guide.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinA9mpEXgROToIoXNcAvrqvufk4wvIN_yD1hWFVEqGXBKMMEyvpSh4R5-bjzU1ppvad0_zGR4d1soWfk21ICNKvFZItYEz6yt9onwej_RkouXt9W_5hyphenhyphennxg0CE4svD0hJrBunetawFTIc/s1600-h/PICT0008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinA9mpEXgROToIoXNcAvrqvufk4wvIN_yD1hWFVEqGXBKMMEyvpSh4R5-bjzU1ppvad0_zGR4d1soWfk21ICNKvFZItYEz6yt9onwej_RkouXt9W_5hyphenhyphennxg0CE4svD0hJrBunetawFTIc/s320/PICT0008.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sew both sides as above making sure not to sew those outer legs as yet!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once you've done that we'll join both sides so place your 2 pieces like I have here and fold the neck and body down away from the curved line of the half body piece and pin together as I have in the next shot.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sew along this curve... again a small stitch setting with a 1/4 seam.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's what we should have at this point :o))<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Next we'll sew up the outer sides of the legs....just to the point of the inserts points on his rear end. The front is the same but when you sew the second leg closed you will pass the point of the insert and sew to the top of the neck opening... leave the neck open where the head will sit in that curve!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxPVkCcPms8StyEKtfUjTtFOJNxSuMy7CAW6y57FTgm2yXC2c_7XmNN1ihBf4W0rOo9JA40aVolwSDvcCyJwi2sznxEcKkug0iq2Dup-VjGv0I7bWT70XK5sL-azg_bOZCPodGbZcLaA8/s1600-h/PICT0013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxPVkCcPms8StyEKtfUjTtFOJNxSuMy7CAW6y57FTgm2yXC2c_7XmNN1ihBf4W0rOo9JA40aVolwSDvcCyJwi2sznxEcKkug0iq2Dup-VjGv0I7bWT70XK5sL-azg_bOZCPodGbZcLaA8/s320/PICT0013.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Rump insert... This is one of those places I'll hand sew ... it easier to do so for me... If you'd prefer to machine sew and are confident of doing so then you can do that... I just hate having to unpick and I find I will 99% of the time have to end up doing so ...so I hand sew LOL</div><div style="text-align: center;">Right back to the rump insert... place the fatter point of the leaf shape toward the point of the body insert and tack in place with a stitch... continue to tack this piece in place up both sides till you get to the front point... tack both sides to this point... you could use pins if you want but I like to tack with a stitches... once you have it tacked in place hand stitch together properly with a blanket stitch then a straight stitch ...yes sew it twice as extra strength is always a good thing!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sew top of neck closed at this point too leaving the curved part at the front open! <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Right the Head.... it's pretty easy ... even though some will say Gusset Yuck LOL<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Take one half of the head and starting just under the chin bump at A sew the insert gusset from this point around head to B and you should finish just before where you started ...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The other side of the head is done in just the same manner only this time leave a bit open as indictaed in the next picture for turning.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDoiseFOsSZvixjwGLUqEc-d90SFRmcPz-6adb4qcEl6eOZWvZwekcKlqor-NlS3ThE2D97te6Ch1qSwH8x69F42pgWWn2u9_6Sw1jotR_wTYCUxEIywYPTa-qxhLaP9mbrvtvOCyeLyg/s1600-h/PICT0021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDoiseFOsSZvixjwGLUqEc-d90SFRmcPz-6adb4qcEl6eOZWvZwekcKlqor-NlS3ThE2D97te6Ch1qSwH8x69F42pgWWn2u9_6Sw1jotR_wTYCUxEIywYPTa-qxhLaP9mbrvtvOCyeLyg/s320/PICT0021.jpg" /></a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Right so after all that your almost ready to turn your pieces... but before we do that just whip stitch the bottom of the hooves closed to make turning the legs just a tiny bit easier... okay turning can be tricky and the smaller your doing your horse the trickier it will be ...so have patience ... I have done this one smaller than my originals so I actually had to use a doll needle to help in turning them!!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once turned stuff ...remember to stuff the legs firmly we do want his to stand!!...don't attach the head yet ...<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Right that's all for today ... Next part will be up tomorrow...any questions email me :o))<br />

I will still be doing the tutorial but it will have to be at a later date as we left our camera down in Carterton while we were visiting this last weekend... so I will have to buy a new one since Andrew's brother is into creating dvd's and ours was a video camera/photo one so Andrew said he could keep it... so hopefully will be able to afford a replacement soon! Sorry to everyone who is waiting on it and promise to get it sorted asap!</b><br />
