Hello World!

Whoo! It's been maybe a year or more since Vidaliah Crafts has posted. Well, now with new fangled technology and a nicer camera we're cooking with gas. Let the posting commence!

New work now on show at Splash Gallery in Olympia. Art dolls made with sweaters and mohair.

 Fertie the fox was the first to be sold.

Mohair is an interesting fabric to work with. A bit intimidating at times.

Dandy Lions

These Dandy Lions here are my newest in revesable pillows. On one side they are lions, on the other flowers, get it, dandy lions. Ha! I'm still working on the flowers, they are a bit abstract but these are big and soft and fun to nap with. They are made from recycled sweaters and clothes and I really like how all of the different patterns of cloth show up.

Hats, Purse and Scarfs.

Here are some fun things I did this holiday season. There is the monkey scarf which is made from fleece and fuzzy bits of fabric. The side view of an owl hat. A monster purse, whose mouth is the zipper and has a fuzzy tail. And a monster scarf that is also a puppet. The purple bit is its tail. I really enjoy making all of these and I certainly take requests. I worry that they are a bit warm for the Pacific Northwest but I know there are versions of these that are staying warm in the great snow storms in other parts of the country right now.

Lizard Maaadness!!

Here is a commission I did this fall for a custom Godzilla. He is made out of old sweaters. It was a good challenge. The next one is a Mecha Godzilla which is really going to take some precise planning. It's stewing around in my head but I'm going to have to find just the right materials. It's amazing on how recognizable Godzilla is. The eyes and the spines are very recognizable.
