Farm Critters for the Spookytime Jingles Update tonight!

It's time for the Spookytime Jingles' Easter Holiday Hootenanny!! So exciting to think that spring is just around the corner. I am anxious to see all the yummy spring creations from my fellow STJers!

My offering is my third and final pull toy (for awhile). Here is my happy stack of farm critters all decked out in their pastel stripes and dots!

...quick peek at my third pull toy sculpted. I have completed the sculpting step on all three pull toys so now I am just waiting for everything to dry. Hopefully, I will be able to sand and prime on Monday (tedious, but oh so important!) and then the BEST part can begin...painting!!!! I am ready for COLOR!

Silly Sketches...pull toys are on the way!

I realized that it has been almost a year since I have made an animal pull toy! I love creating them, but they require lots of uninterrupted and focused sculpting time. So, I decided to dedicate the next few weeks to making 3 fun little critter carts. I have my work cut out for me, and I am excited to get rolling on them!

Here are the sketches that I will be working from. I usually do very VERY rough sketches for my dolls, but for the pull toys, I really need to plan them out and illustrate the animals in a more detailed, accurate way. And I am also trying to work on my illustration skills for a future project that is brewing in my brain.
