XMAS GIFT #6: (WIP...cont)
LUIGI
Even though I did not complete the Luigi project I have been working on, I did make further progress. Here are a few pictures, and some side notes of the work I did complete this week.
THE SIDEBURNS:
 |
| 'Luigi' sideburns |
THE HAT:
 |
| 'Luigi' Hat |
THE HAT LOGO:
 |
| 'Luigi' Hat Logo |
The original pattern called for cutting the 'L' out of green felt. I still have not gotten completely comfortable with cutting small pieces of felt, so I opted for using 3D puffy paint to create the 'L' on the circle for the hat logo.
THE HAIR:
 |
| 'Luigi' Hair |
The hair piece is to be attached to the back of the head at the base of the hat, so it appears that the hair is peeking out from the bottom of the hat.
THE HEAD WITH FACIAL DETAILS:
 |
| 'Luigi' head with facial details |
Once again, the pattern called for cutting small pieces of felt for the eye embellishments. I did cut the white ovals out of felt, but then used 3D paint to add the eye details on top of the white of the eye. I think it turned out just as well.
THE HEAD WITH EARS, HAT, AND SIDEBURNS ATTACHED:
 |
| 'Luigi' Head complete |
Now I just need to assemble the head, body, legs, and arms, and then...."It's a L-U-I-G-I!!!"

And now for a list of my upcoming projects!:
XMAS GIFT #10:
I plan on making a little baby doll for my cousin Katrina. She just turned 2 years old and she just loves taking care of her babies. If I have time I plan on making a 2nd Hello Kitty purse to go with the baby doll.
XMAS GIFT #11:
I plan on making a set of xmas ornaments for one of my grandmother Nana. She really enjoyed the dove ornamenent I made for her for her bday, so I figured I would make her a few more. Maybe it can be a yearly ritual to make a new ornament each year! That might be fun. I am thinking I might make her a Snowman ornament (using the snowman head from my FO in this blog.) and an angel ornament for sure!
XMAS GIFT #12:
This is a gift that I have had on my to do list for a while now. I have a good friend, Robert, who was an Eastern Orthodox priest. He wears a skull cap daily. It is similar to a Yarmulke of the jewish faith, but it a bit larger, yet smaller than a beanie hat. I have a bit longer to make this project since christmas is after the 1st of January in his faith.
XMAS GIFT #13:
I can't talk about this one on my blog, since it is super duper secret....tee hee....and just in case a certain someone is reading ;)
Thanks for reading! Now....back to crocheting!!!
Your Luigi is coming right along. That snowman is very cute.
ReplyDeleteYou're just as busy as I am. I have 6 presents to finish. YIKES! I wish I hadn't just counted. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your snowman, he's adorable and your Luigi is coming along! He's going to be AWESOME
Your luigi is looking awesome! Love the 3-d puffy paint idea. The snowman came out great.
ReplyDelete@Denise: I think the snowman is neat also! I think my grandmother will just love it. She crochets too, but only mostly afghans, hopefully this will encourage her to try some amigurumi!
ReplyDelete@Tami: Wow! 6 gifts to finish!!! We can make it...I have faith in us...lol Hopefully I can finish Luigi to share next week.
@autumngeisha and @ Kathleen: I was stressing about the felt pieces, and cut and cut and cut, and tossed out so many pieces. I bought some 3D puffy paint for a previous project, and it just dawned on me....hey I'll try painting the eye details onto a bigger felt piece. Thankfully it worked. It dries surprisingly fast as well :)
Thanks all for the lovely comments!!!
