As you can see..... a few more Addamses have come home!! Morticia and Thing are seen here greeting Cousin Itt and his son, Cousin What!! Aren't they fabulous! Both of these were made by the wonderful Kate Whittaker!! She has really outdone herself for this one. I just wish I could put some kind of 3D app on this blog so you could see all the detail in these pieces!!
Because Cousin Itt was a little hard to see in the dark house I wanted to do a quick family portrait for them against a white back drop! Kate made everything.... the tiny coffin, Baby What, and even the precious pacifier (or Dummy... I just learned that from Kate) in his hairy little mouth! Ahhhh - I love them!
Also notice that she made the wheels into spider webs and there are two spiders joining Baby What wherever he may be going.
And I also wanted to show you the back of the coffin stroller! So cute!
Kate, thank you so so much for this wonderful swap!! I had so much fun and I can't tell you how excited I am to have two more of the Addams clan at home!! I really fuels my fire to get some things done! Big hugs from across the ocean!!

Oh yes.... and I was also gonna show what I made for Kate. But please stay tuned to her blog because when she is able she will show pictures of it in her project!!
She asked me if I could try making a wicker baby bed for her Sweeney Todd project. If you haven't seen the movie, Sweeney finds his daughters old bed.... all tattered and torn. So that is what I created. Its not just like the one in the movie but its based off of Kate's vision of what she wanted.
It was really fun making this for her because I got to try out some new techniques!!
Kate, as always, swapping with you was a blast! I look forward to the next time!!! -Ara

Ahhh they look right at home dont they! it was tricky to decide on Cousin Its height as in some pics he is really short but others taller, so I judged him against Morticia and made him just over 4ft I think? The hats arnt quite bowlers as I couldnt get them to be round but they were necessary as it covers up the glue sticking their hair on, that was the job I told you about that I figured would be easy but when it came to it, I just could NOT get right! So the hats covered up the glued partings he he!! Like you I so enjoyed this project, it went all to plan....mostly, and was really rewarding! Thanks for the wonderful swap Ara, like you cant wait to do it again, hmmm what to do next time????!!!!! Love and Hugs Kate xxx
ReplyDeleteKate, the Hats are one of my favorite parts!!!! You could have a future in mini hat making!!! Just love everything about it! hugs, ara
