Kamen Rider 555

My latest project was a gift for my boyfriend, Alex, who loves the Kamen Rider franchise. I had never heard of Kamen Rider before meeting him, and to be honest, I haven't seen very much of any of the series. However, I enjoyed making this figure of Kamen Rider 555! I love the armor and how detailed it is! Per his request, I’ve actually documented the majority of the process of making it!

Photo 1: Started out with just making the head. The entire figure was made by crocheting in a circular motion.

Photo 2: This is the head completed before stuffing.

 Photo 3: The body in pieces

Photo 4: The body put together! Sewn with the yarn.

Photo 5: The completed Kamen Rider! I placed him next to a ruler to see the size. His armor is made of felt and attached via glue gun (I don’t recommend using this… I learned my lesson the hard way. Fabric glue is the way to go. Less battle scars). His armor took about 4 hours to construct.

Dragon Age: Nug!

Photo Credit goes to Carissa Starr!! (Website/Tumblr/Facebook). Nor do I own Dragon Age. I just play it way too much.

This was a random project I decided to do to see if I could manage sewing projects. This is a Nug from Dragon Age: Origins. I always loved the idea of them in the game and tried to make one. I can no longer find the original pattern online that I used and then mutated, but I would like to give them credit for it. 

The Nug was completely hand sewn and has a dog squeaky toy inside. The teeth are made of hard felt.

The Nug ended up going and living at my two sisters’ house, both of whom are also in love with Bioware games.

Dexter

Photo Credit goes to Carissa Starr!! (Website/Tumblr/Facebook). Obviously, I don’t own Dexter nor do I pretend to. I just like making dolls for people as gifts!So this is a crocheted doll of Dexter that I made for my sister (who took these pictures)! The doll pattern is the same that I use every time, which is here. The shirt and the apron I did free hand, and the blood stains are used with red t-shirt dye! His little knife is made out of aluminum foil and yarn, I believe (it’s been a year since I worked on this).

The box I bought at a Michaels store and painted it. The slides are sheet protectors cut into pieces and held together with red t-shirt dye in the middle. This by far has been one of my more in depth projects! I even started watching Dexter while doing it!

Dragon Age: Grey Warden Lynn

So I went ahead and finally made something for myself! This is my Gray Warden Ranger, Lynn, from Dragon Age: Origins! She is wearing the Ancient Elven Armor set (found here), only it’s made out of felt. As always, I used the crochet doll pattern from here! I enhanced it slightly by making the pattern “female” so that she could fill out her armor more appropriately!

Dragon!

This little dragon I made for my boyfriend’s niece for her 4th birthday. She LOVES dragons!! I got the pattern for free from here: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=175190.0. What I really wanted to do was put pipe cleaners along the ridges of the wings so that you could pose them, but I didn’t have the time to attach them.

Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell! I crocheted this for my other sister for her birthday. Copyright Disney and such…. For all of my dolls I use the body pattern from here (even the masculine dolls)!

Elphaba/The Wicked Witch of the West

Elphaba from “Wicked!” I crocheted this for my sister as a Christmas gift. For all of my dolls I use the body pattern from here (even the masculine dolls)! All copyrights and all that jazz is due to Wicked and such!
