These are crochet based on Pixin's design of beavers. Pixin is the person behind the lable Doinky Doodles! She asked me to do this and I did, with much fun. These babies are on sale at the shop now. Check them out!

(Thanks R for making it really pleasant working with you. I appreciate it.)

]]><![CDATA[new drawings!]]>Sun, 18 Mar 2012 06:15:47 -0800http://www.siajoohiang.com/6/post/2012/03/new-drawings.htmlI have this nice metal dip pen which I have had for years but I never really got to using it much. I had found it to be a pain in the ass to have to draw with such care and all, since the metal nib is so fine. Maybe I was really stupid, but it never occurred to me to switch to a bigger nib (!) and also, very importantly, to hold the pen further away from the nib so I could make free, loose lines. HA! I experimented with a bigger nib which I also had for a while, all rusty by now. But it worked fine and I think I am in love with this new found expression! Here are a few drawings I made of ....what else but my favourite subject matter - children and animals!

And then I couldn't wait to put my new found expression to good use. So I made this portrait of my nephew Jensen, who is not even a month old but the way he moves his arms tell me that he is going to be a great dancer one day!

The tiger kitty

The crochet version as a brooch. Notice his right eye has more droopy eyelid.

The white socks kitty

I just gotta crochet those white socks. And gave him a little red bowtie.

Jacky the sweet dog who has gone to heaven

The owner wanted to include the red collar. I also gave crochet Jacky ears that can turn up...

...and down.
