Ears

For those who don't remember/weren't aware, a while back I arranged an art trade with redsixwing. I would crochet her a dark gray griffin, and she would craft me a pair of elvish ear cuffs. Along the way, the griffin got its own coat of chain mail; here are several pics of it: One, Two, Three, Four, Five. The first two are mostly just for different angles, the second two are to help show how the mail is constructed/attached. The last one was originally the "display" pic, but I didn't want to burden this post/my photobucket account any more than I had to, so now it's just part of the lineup.

Well, the ear cuffs arrived in my mail box not too long ago, and I promised to post pictures of them. And then I sat on the pics for way too long. Tonight I decided it was high time I made another amigurumi pic post (it's been four months since the last one, and that featured only one item!), and also that I wanted to edit more pics of my pets to share at Shakesville's Daily Dose of Cute threads, and figured it was the perfect time to get these pics ready to go.

Anyway, click the cut to see pics of yours truly modeling some absolutely gorgeous ear cuffs: ( Shiny... )

It's that time again: When I share pics of the cool things I've crocheted :Db

I'm going to be a little bit lazy today. Photobucket is being a butt, so for my two latest griffins, I'm just going to link to their Etsy listings instead. Waaaaay less html involved, too. I'd worry about looking like I'm just trying to sell my art, but I'm even too lazy for that. Er, go me?

Brown griffin.

AKA "Godric". That's always what I call my brown griffins in my head. I keep meaning to crochet them little red-and-gold scarves to wear, too. *dork* This one is a little lighter in color than some of my brown griffins in the past, but that's not a bad thing. I like his ear placement a little better than my previous brown griffin as well.


White griffin.

I really like the coloring on this one. In the past, I've always made my white griffins with yellow beak-and-talons and brown eyes; it was mostly force of habit that I did it after the first one (this was the coloring on my prototype). I think the gray beak-and-talons and blue eyes really look good, though. Plus it sorta-matches my Winter Storm Dragon :3b (You may need to scroll down to see it.) Since I finished the winter storm dragon during winter storm draco, which is how it got its name, I'm thinking of nicknaming this griffin my Polar Vortex Griffin ;) Maybe I'll offer a discount if someone wants to buy them as a set.

And that's it, aside from a couple of cat toys I don't have pics of yet.

Current crafty projects:
* Another Sterek inna bottle, for my WPCP winner; I'll go into more detail about that later
* Winged piglets as donation boost incentive for the upcoming Quire fundraiser; I've got a good seven piglets just waiting for wings, and one already flight-ready
* A teal sparkly dragon that I'm hoping to make aquatic-themed
* ???
* Profit Wait no, that's for numbered lists. Never mind! (Not that I'd complain, of course :P)
