I've been so slack on actually uploading images!

Here's a whole bunch of process pictures of my monster making.

First, here are the fabrics I got my images printed on!  They turned out exactly how I had hoped!

This image is of the patterns I made to construct my monsters from.

One of the monsters, in progress, I hand stitched everything (mostly because I was far too lazy to unpack my sewing machine.)

The following in-progress shot is of a grimlings (it's what I call em) that may or may not be complete tomorrow.

Then I made the eyes!

Now for the teeth, I made molds of my baby teeth out of this paint on rubber mold stuff.  Then I poured resin into each tooth mold (there's 8 total).

Once the resin is set, I can peel out each tooth.

I combined them with this air dry porcelain I had and then treated them with coffee.

I combined them all on the monsters.  

Here are the finished 2 ready for show and tell tomorrow.

For future Grimlings, I'm going to find some 20-25mm glass cabachons for the eyes.  For the big brown one I really wanted big eyes, the 10mm cabachon eyes I made were too small for my liking, but had the perfect effect.

The blue Grimling monster I used baby safe eyes.

I also liked how those turned out.

monsters!

my file corrupted and ended up looking like this: 

I thought it could be interesting so i made it into its own file.

   For this project I would like to make at least 3 monster clutch-sized bags of my own design.  The digital imaging aspect comes in with the design on the fabric that I use.  I'm going to create several different textures that could be monster flesh in some way or another and then have them printed onto cotton fabric so that I can make the bags.  To do that I'm going to use my account on Spoonflower.com .  It will take about a week for the fabric to get to me, so while I wait I will begin drafting the patterns for the monster bags. Then I will test them out using some scrap fabric. Hopefully after working out the kinks, my fabric should have arrived, so that I can simply put them all together.

   I chose 3 because it sounded like a good number, but I may have to lower that number depending on how the process is going. To update on the pattern making aspect I'll just take lots of pictures and post them.

   Here are some sketches I did of some monster satchel bags.  The little clutch-sized ones I make will be smaller, similar variations of these.

 

all right! now to upload 

the billions of "in progress" images I have.

I need to do some serious lighting up.

meeeeh.

 

Background development!

Some googled reference images...
