This letter will be part of the word Sweet that will be made of all plush letters and hanging in the gallery for the show.

In fact Kitty is the most involved of the two often sitting below the bobbin next to the treadles watching the fiber be spun into yarn. He even inspects the wheel itself to see that it is spinning satisfactorily. </div><div><br /></div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/TNwzhtSCoaI/AAAAAAAABAE/SM2ovuMcwB0/s320/DSC02132.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538358295942832546" />Yesterday Kitty decided that he should claim a section of grey merino and mohair for his own project. He pawed at it scooped up one end in his mouth and began prancing away like he had a trophy. He is such a player! But of course he couldn't keep his prize so he went back to watching while Jasper slept cozily behind me on the couch. <div><br /></div><div>Here are the most recent yarns that are available in <a href="http://www.fuzspun.etsy.com">my shop</a>.

I realize that is has been some time since I have posted regularly or about something I've made. It's been a busy couple of months with job changes and other life excitement, but things seem to be slowing down to a manageable pace with time to create. And time to create helps to balance out all the other chaoses. </div><div><br /></div><div>So, as you hopefully know I have been writing and illustrating a webcomic by the name of Minionitis about a school for gifted minions. We have recently discovered that Minionitis is really a school to train Special Minion Agents or spies. The comic is quite a bit of fun to create and I hope you will check it out for the first time or a renewed time <a href="http://www.minionitis.wordpress.com">here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>I had the dream early on in the comic formation to have patterns of the characters available to make yourself. Well, I finally have crocheted the first two characters and now I just have to format the PDF's for easy printing and minion crocheting. They should be completed fairly soon and I hope to crochet the next couple next week.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, here we have Baxter and Chopsick:</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/TLcvwDBrgbI/AAAAAAAAA-0/eIQtlntxob8/s1600/bc3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 294px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/TLcvwDBrgbI/AAAAAAAAA-0/eIQtlntxob8/s320/bc3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527939570113151410" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/TLcvv7h8R1I/AAAAAAAAA-s/hILHk1VczlU/s1600/bc1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 308px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/TLcvv7h8R1I/AAAAAAAAA-s/hILHk1VczlU/s320/bc1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527939568100984658" /></a>I will have the patterns available in my <a href="http://fuzfrenzy.etsy.com">Etsy shop</a> as soon as they are complete.

The fairy has wings now and she'll be off to her new home shortly. I crocheted the wings and tied a loop on every stitch to get the puffiness of the feathery wings. Besides being a time consuming process, August was a busy month and she took a bit to complete. I really like the way she turned out. She's quite a bit taller than my other doll creations coming in at 12 inches instead of 9. Of course her clothing is removable. I find it hard not to make even an art doll that is not interactive.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/TIaByXFp4iI/AAAAAAAAA-E/tcgkVl5HWzE/s320/f3.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 296px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514237495952925218" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/TIaBy_BJ21I/AAAAAAAAA-M/JKpjblXKnZ8/s320/f7.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 235px; height: 320px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514237506671467346" /><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/TIaBzq2A0DI/AAAAAAAAA-U/jNrmKgdD5FU/s320/f4.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 258px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514237518435897394" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/TIaB0HKQZII/AAAAAAAAA-c/vn6-wTbMz6k/s320/f10.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 304px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514237526036997250" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>My next project I plan to complete next week.

It's nice to hit a round number like 5. The fact that I've been publishing a comic for 5 weeks is pretty cool. What's even cooler is that while I've just been through the set up phase for the school for gifted minions, I still have ideas about where to go next. <br /><br />I'll be making minion trading cards to give the little minions some background. They're all really interesting and it will help with giving a foundation to the comic and the characters as it goes forward. I am contemplating doing 2 minion classes per year with 26 comics each. It would make a nice little book, especially with the trading cards.<br /><br />We saw <a href="http://www.despicable.me/">Despicable Me</a> this weekend and we both give it 2 thumbs up. The audience was great with a mixture of kids and adults. People clapped at the end. I like that. It was pleasant to laugh so much. I also like the minions.

I am still figuring things out, but you can certainly check it out <a href="http://minionitis.wordpress.com/">here</a>.<br /><br />Further reasonings for going with wordpress include the ability to use plugins to set up a library of the comics. But I haven't really figures out why I don't have a plugin tab to go forward with my plans of minion subservience. I'll just keep playing until I figure it out. I found that's what I had to do for coloring my comics, too. I'm learning a lot and having fun at the same time. The victories out weigh the frustrations.<br /><br />Enjoy your day!<br />Jen<br /><br />P.S. Did you notice my new banner?

I have two comics drawn and one inked at this point. I have two more ready to jump into the process, too. I don't think I've used my sketchbook to sketch this much before. I like it.<br /><br />I will color them digitally in Photoshop. I realize that my skills in Photoshop and drawing are a little rusty, so I do expect things to improve and evolve as I go. <br /><br />Here's a sneak peek at the first comic with Baxter and Chopstick...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S_wXH_I_S8I/AAAAAAAAA60/qW_-1oa7DVM/s1600/m1a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 173px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S_wXH_I_S8I/AAAAAAAAA60/qW_-1oa7DVM/s320/m1a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475276672951339970" border="0" /></a><br />I am also working on a Fuzfrenzy banner as well as a Minionitis banner.

I'm working on a few new and different things to spice things up a bit. I am going to design my own website in the near future with a little shop in it where you can get my creations. Another fun addition to this site will be a weekly (hopefully) webcomic staring <a href="http://fuzfrenzy.blogspot.com/2010/05/minions-are-coming.html">Baxter</a> the minion.<br /><br />I'll give you teasers for the webcomic and offer up the crochet patterns and completed plush for the characters in the shop as they develop. The premise for the comic is a school for gifted minions called Minionitis. I will probably publish the comic here until I get the site up and running.<br /><br />Have a great day!<br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Jen of fuzfrenzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16322157385884102797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20505579.post-39512238596055582152010-05-08T18:46:00.000-07:002010-05-08T18:53:53.275-07:00The Minions are Coming!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S-YUdnYU3WI/AAAAAAAAA6U/6vOy2ZqTwMk/s1600/baxter4.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 286px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S-YUdnYU3WI/AAAAAAAAA6U/6vOy2ZqTwMk/s320/baxter4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469081296507821410" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Well, there's one minion so far.

I started with the hippocamp and realized that it needed a saddle and something on it. Next came the scuba suit idea and then my mind jumped to the Bond girl with the cream colored bikini and the Austin Powers mocking of it. And that was that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S79Hu4SCrdI/AAAAAAAAA5U/qekzKJuforA/s1600/bghc.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S79Hu4SCrdI/AAAAAAAAA5U/qekzKJuforA/s320/bghc.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458160144103943634" border="0" /></a><br />There are seven parts to the piece in that the scuba suit, flippers, snorkel with goggles and saddle are all removable.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S79Hv_1QLfI/AAAAAAAAA5k/1yZWEObTgk8/s1600/bghc6.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S79Hv_1QLfI/AAAAAAAAA5k/1yZWEObTgk8/s320/bghc6.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458160163310546418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S79HvStRB4I/AAAAAAAAA5c/glffQLiHccw/s1600/bghc9.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 204px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S79HvStRB4I/AAAAAAAAA5c/glffQLiHccw/s320/bghc9.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458160151197452162" border="0" /></a><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Jen of fuzfrenzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16322157385884102797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20505579.post-38285393083879874262010-03-31T05:55:00.000-07:002010-03-31T06:17:09.708-07:00Plush Olympics Winners AnnouncedThe Plush Olympics are at a close and the winners have been announced over at the <a href="http://www.plushyou.blogspot.com">Plush You blog</a>. As I get pictures of people and plush posing with their medals I will post them here. The <a href="http://www.plushteam.com">Plush Team</a> winners are all promising pictures so I'll have some to share for sure!<br /><br />I am working on the final elements to the Plush Team Mythology challenge. It has multiple pieces and layers for that extra interactive measure. I think it's pretty fun and I hope you'll like it, too.<br /><br />I read <a href="http://joehillfiction.com/?page_id=1300">Joe Hill's Horns</a> where he gives an interesting view of the devil and writes a delicious knot of a story. There are so many layers and things intertwined that it comes across with desperation and heartbreak.<br /><br />I am finally reading the second book in <a href="http://www.dillonscott.com/the-secrets-of-the-immortal-nicholas-flamel/index.htm">The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel</a> series by Michael Scott. This an amazing fast paced series drenched in magic. I guess it's a good time to pick it up again because the fourth book will be coming out in May. It looks like there will be six books in all. <br /><br />I submitted my first finished book to Random House and got my first rejection letter. I am so excited! It is a badge of honor. Now I am off to do some serious re-writing. The updated version of the story will be richer and quite profound when all is done. I really wasn't happy with my first version, but it is giving me a great foundation to take the story to where it needs to go. I am still trying to decide if I will share bits with you now or wait until it is closer to publication. We'll see...<br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Jen of fuzfrenzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16322157385884102797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20505579.post-24763969066139175322010-03-17T14:23:00.000-07:002010-03-17T14:29:38.212-07:00Medals for the Plush OlympicsJudging will start shortly for the Plush Olympics that were the brilliant idea of Kristen over at Schmancy. You can check for updates and great plush information over at her <a href="http://plushyou.blogspot.com/">blog</a>.<br /><br />I had the privilege of making the medals for the five categories. Here are the pictures. They were crocheted with Caron Country acrylic merino blend yarn, stuffed with polyfil and ribboned with measuring tape ribbon. I really like how they turned out.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S6FJVUUo7hI/AAAAAAAAA5M/bonn4OhkRLw/s1600-h/medals.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 284px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S6FJVUUo7hI/AAAAAAAAA5M/bonn4OhkRLw/s320/medals.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449717654676368914" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S6FJUnV2_yI/AAAAAAAAA5E/ua4AJ7EooqU/s1600-h/medals4.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 312px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S6FJUnV2_yI/AAAAAAAAA5E/ua4AJ7EooqU/s320/medals4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449717642601889570" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S6FJT4ietzI/AAAAAAAAA48/Ns-1NB5yGjA/s1600-h/medals10.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__FY27UIrq0I/S6FJT4ietzI/AAAAAAAAA48/Ns-1NB5yGjA/s320/medals10.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449717630038357810" border="0" /></a><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Jen of fuzfrenzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16322157385884102797noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20505579.post-7702274965451972212010-03-07T10:00:00.000-08:002010-03-07T10:06:29.305-08:00Octopus CupcakeA while ago I made a cupcake for Becky of Scrumptious Delight for the Plush Team Russian Christmas swap. Here he is in his wonderful tentacleness. <br /><br />He's interactive as all cupcakes should be.
