Toy customizing and a question
Nov. 29th, 2004 10:21 amHi, all! I've been reading this community forever, but I never get around to taking pics of my assorted crafty disasters projects. I should try to remedy that -- I'm making a ton of holiday presents, and I'll try to share photos when they're done. It was my intention to be finished with most of them already, but writing for NaNoWriMo took up most of my time and creativity this month.
In the meantime, just to have something shiny and pretty to look at in this post, I'm including photos of a few of my customized My Little Ponies. I think customizing counts as a craft. ^_^

Chief Tangaroa from my Tiki Headhunters series

Koro the Mischief Maker with his shrunken head

Hayloft the scarecrow

StitchPatch

Mosey from my Shee series

Ode on a Grecian Urn

The Pony from Oz, based on the Boy from Oz musical and autographed by Hugh Jackman (squee!).
I hesitate to link to my custom site/gallery, since I do sell my work there and I know this community has a no-sales policy, but I don't have anything for sale at the moment, so I think it's safe. The site also includes a tutorial, just in case anyone else feels like tearing apart some toys:
http://www.cloverflowers.com/custom
If that's not okay, let me know and I'll edit immediately.
And after all that, I have a completely unrelated question. I need some plain Shrinky Dink pages. Where would I look for those in a JoAnn's/Michael's/etc? What section are they kept in? I'm drawing a blank.
