Good Girl Bad Girl - Finished
Here they are, finished and shipped off to the Loters.* Good Luck at the Expo guys!
It was an interesting process, making an angel and a devil... one for whatever mood you're in that day or hour. :D
I enjoyed (while swearing a few times, to be honest, at the slippery/stretchy nature of these fabrics) using new materials and it was a definite challenge to make the girls as "on model" as I could. As always when I get something done I see a few ways that I could have improved it- perfectionist nature rears its ugly head.
I am happy about the brain wave I had for Good Girl's halo- I had NO idea how I was going to do that until the day before they were due to be shipped off. I finally thought to cover a pipe cleaner in the silver fabric to make it work. Phew! Hooray for the pressure of deadlines- sometimes it helps you come up with things you might not have thought of. :D
For more pics, head on over to my flickr page.
Well, I'm off to start work on the next project- "Stitch Wars" here I come! Have a great weekend everybody.

They are just fantastic! You really translated their 2D designs to 3D very well. The clothes look great, and the halo works really well! Congrats, you're awesome! ;D
Thanks Em for the enthusiastic comments! :D I'm glad that you think they turned out well.
Oh my gosh! I can see how these fancy fabrics can be a pain to sew! But you did a fantastic job, Leeanna!! Their facial expressions are awesome too!
Thanks TADA's- it was challenging but in a good way since it forced me to "grow" using these new fabrics. :)
These are great!
