Been busy working on the House Elf tutorial. I've got the body portion pretty much finished. But, as the pics show, we're making some changes to the heads at this point. I'll need to wait for the pattern changes to be settled on before I can get the pictures in place.
So far I've gone back and forth on the size of the eyes, changed the shape of the ears a few times, and played with the angle of the nose/forehead a bit. Still debating to move the eyes closer together and curve the ears even more. I would also like to make my own eyes. These have no whites around them and the pupils are too large. I think I may have figured out a solution using resin, but I still need to get the supplies to try it. I think I may wait until after the tutorial is finished using these, since they are less work (though somewhat hard to find).
We are amassing quite a few heads, so we thought we'd use some of the less successful ones to make plaques like the Black family house had on the walls. :) I'll share our results on that when I'm finished with them. In the meantime the tutorial should be available within a month or two, I hope.
Oh! Btw, here are three body sizes that we've tried so far: A small 12", a medium 18", and a large 24" (The large is made with a thicker furry-ish fabric. They will also have heads, soon. :)
