WoW Bear finished

This was finished a few days ago. The template is by winged craft you need pepakura viewer and winrar to open the file. Probally the only papermodel I've completed in a long time. Damn those MMOs are so addictive! I'll tell why because lvling is time consuming and gold hard to come by. In the last month it was nothing but playing Dragonquest in the day and Grand Fantasia in the evening. I hated it because there was less or no time for crafting, I returned to atcs using artist trading cards worshop by bernie berlin. Such a pity I don't receive any artsy atcs after all the effort I've put in. You will never find me on World of Warcraft. Kitsu Saga looks interesting. More papermodel I've completed can be found on my flickr stream.

Latest projects

I was working on another sprite stitch projects really it's a reworking of another chart. Here is the Infergon another monster from Dragon quest caravan heart. There's a few more cross stitch projects coming.

Ever used a knitting doll, I tried using one at school and never made any progress because I was told the bottom layer goes over the top layer so all I did was wrap the same bars over and over again. Hobbycraft were selling them, this one I brought for under £4 and comes with stylus and clear instructions there were problems with work coming off the bar making the rows look uneven.

Once you can't really stop and keep going until the yarn runs out. I hope to make the crochet bear/bunny shown in Gothic and Lolita bible extra mook. Still don't know how to knit though.

I haven't made a paper model in ages since the Blade Liger was on hold. (Too hard). Before the laptop melt down I've downloaded a bear WOW pepakura template. Good thing you don't need any instructions as refer to 3D rendered model as guide, down side is you need to some experience of papercrafting (assembling models) and know how to 'close in'. Best if template is printed on borderless 120-160 gsm light cardstock.
Given the fact I play MMORPG and DragonQuest IX there little time for crafting so something has to give. I rather craft than play videogames all day. Crafting FTW.
