The Reanimater part II- spin like death  
The Reanimater Series
Deadline Weds. May 7th
Vote! here May 8th

please include pictures of:
1) the type of critter you're re-animating (just pull an example off the web)
2) your materials
3) the finished yarn
4) the re-animated critter

just started spinning the yarn for my squirrel kill. so far so good. i'm using the big bulky wheel so that i can spin this extra bulky and keep all the felted matted parts in-tact. i spun through most of my fiber before i realized i hadn't thought about eyes. i need to get some eyes in here so when i crochet it back to life it can see the beautiful world again!! so it's off to the thrift store to find some poor stuffed animal willing to give up it's eyes to the frakensquirrel.


NEWS!

is anyone going to CNCH (Confrence for Northern California Handweavers) in sacramento next weekend? you should! i will be doing a book signing on saturday with YARN BARN OF KANSAS. come by and say hey!!!

it's like spinning an entire squirrel.....it just doesn't wiggle.







unidentifiable parts....what is it? i don't know...but it's gross.

hey lexi,

does it have to be a domestic road kill or can it be a more distiguished squished creature?
I have an idea but want to know if we are limited to animals that live by roads or on land...lol.
