Shift in Focus

Maybe you noticed...I haven't made any new art in a while.

But that's not totally true. I've been making stuff. Lots of stuff.
Lots of awesome stuff.

Stuff like this:

Link and Shadow Link crochet dolls

Obviously, not Suspended Dreams stuff.

This is Miss Hobbit Crochet:

I've been busy making things...

...for an upcoming local event called GAM Con (Games, Anime, and More - March 19th) where I will be selling these pieces of awesome.

Here's more of the awesome:

Full Metal Alchemist crochet doll, Edward Elric

Full Metal Alchemist symbol, chibi crochet doll

Edward and Alphonse Elric, together, crochet dolls

Sailor Moon crochet dolls

Vash the Stampede, Trigun, crochet doll

Batman and Superman crochet dolls

Batman vs. Superman - it's going to be epic

Email me - SuspendedDreamsArt@gmail.com
or send a message on facebook.com/MissHobbitCrochet
for info on how to order one (or several) of these.

So that's what I've been doing. Instead of painting.
But I'll get back to the painting after March 19th. So keep checking in.

Christmastime Approacheth....

Really, really thought I could do GraNoWriMo, or at least NaNoWriMo...but there's just no time.

Why?

Because it's time to think about CHRISTMAS.

But what about Thanksgiving?? - comes the familiar whine.

If you wait til after Thanksgiving to put your Christmas gifts together, you will come to loathe the Christmas season. No time to wait.

So...no graphic novel awesomeness this month. But after the holidays...? Who knows, the future is full of possibility.

Want to see the kind of stuff I'm making for Christmas gifts??

I know you do.

Anna from Frozen!

Anna and Elsa together, sister power!

Elsa from Frozen!

 Super cute, right? Yeah, I'm really hooked on making these little dolls right now. (get it? Hooked? Cuz they're crocheted...with crochet hooks? HA. HA.)

Christmas Projects

I'm now on Instagram!

It is mostly crochet project pics right now, but it will also have art, too. Find me here - instagram.com/kennarieske

Like my sculpture professor, I am not "technologically retarded, just technologically resistant."

So it takes me a while.

Been working on Christmas gifts - here are a few things I've been working on:

Fanart for a friend

Coat of Arms for my Handsome Husband

Vintage-style plush kitties for my daughter

Are you ready for Christmas?

Well good for you. Cuz I'm not even close. O_o Still so much to do!!

Welcome to November

Wondering where I've been?

I'll tell you what I told Facebook:
Living with a chronic illness is difficult. Being an artist with a chronic illness means that sometimes I go a long time without making art. (I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, by the way, not sure I mentioned that)

I haven't had the energy to create new creepy puppet paintings. I've been spending a lot of time in bed or on my couch crocheting, instead.

Wanna see what I made? ^__^

For Halloween.

And a black pair for my good friend Alicia

This is a free pattern, found here: http://nephithyrion.blogspot.com/2013/12/crochet-pattern-lace-beret.html

I've drawn ONE thing. Even though it is only one, I'm quite please with how it turned out. 

...not sure how to explain this one. Maybe you had to be there.

 There are many more pairs of fingerless gloves and at least three other hats (I have a problem....) but I don't have pictures of those (YET).

Wanna know what else I'm doing??

NANOWRIMO! National Novel Writing Month.
