April Atc

Left is scanned (camera flat) image of the ATC I did for the 'Westfield Swap', it's a lot brighter in real life.
The sheep is an original joint effort from myself and a fellow artist (Bex is an amazing cartoonist) from work. I haven't knitted since my early school days and knitting on toothpicks was a challenge all by it's own. I shaved the ends of the toothpicks to put little beads on them and the hands were cut and lifted to pop the knitting underneath.

My second ATC for April is for 'Full Sleeve'. Theme was something sweet, well if I was a vampire I'm sure I'd find humans sweet. The lips have been double layered, the second image is 2 pixels bigger than bottom layer to allow for the shaping then botox'd (ok silicon'd) so they don't flatten. No luscious lips would be complete without gloss (dimensional magic).
