A Rather Productive Weekend Thus Far (picture heavy)

Did stuff for other people this weekend.
Plushies first, since they were finished first.



A thank you gift done specially for the surgeons who saved my mom's life several weeks ago.
Framed it and am giving it to them Monday.

Coloured sharpie and coloured pencil for the figure, no lines and watercolour pencil (dry) for the background (except for a metallic pencil for the Emerald City's lines).
Half a day of constant work.

Turned out much lighter in the scan than the picture. Kinda like it though...looks ethereal.



My first amigurumis.
My mom has an internet friend...because of injokes that would take too long to relate, he sends my mom frogs and my mom sends him chickens. Or tries to. It is very difficult to find inexpensive chicken items.
Anyways, I was roaming the innards of the DA monster, when I came across this adorable chicken pattern: [link]
So I made two - one for my mom's friend...then one for my mom when she oohed and ahhed and looked longingly at the chicken.
Now there's two chickens fluttering around our house...but we'll be down to one sometime in the next couple weeks when we send the left chicken to his new home.
Or will there be only one? "I want a chicken..." I hear my siblings murmuring...>>

I used two yarns held together for the main part of the chicken - a regular yellow and a fun fur yellow.

The right hand chicken is bigger because I think I miscounted the stitches. ^^" I was tired.

Lots of accomplishment. My hands hurt now.

Must go finish dinner - gotta make the garlic butter for the breadsticks. TTFN
