Let the games begin...

I dont like to keep people hanging, so here is one of my current projects: THE GOBLINS!



I have a notebook I have been writing in for almost a year. Whenever I have an idea (any kind of idea... crafts, creative writing, thoughts on life, last night's dream...) I write it in my notebook. I recommend you do this too! You never know how you'll be able to use these ideas later in life. Ideas get lost very easily!
Anywho, I was obsessed with fairy tales last summer after reading an awesome novel (that I forget the name of)... One fairy tale in particular caught my attention. One about a traveling salesman who sells clothing (I think it was). "One size fits all," he would promise his customers... and he was always right, of course, because he would stretch or squash his customers until they were the perfect size.
Well, from that my goblins were born! ... but don't worry, although they look kinda creepy, they wont harm you. They actually help keep away bad dreams. I'm still working on their story.
I like the clay heads. They are going to have posable felt bodies when they're finished. The sewn one is just me experimenting with felt... He should turn out alright. Sewing takes practice, and I haven't practiced much :)
