The Troll for the Breast Cancer Fundraiser is done !

I have finally completed this project. The Stone Cold Troll was a blast to make. I had a whole lot of fun figuring out the paint technique to make him stonelike. I had never worked with greasy fleece before either so that was a kick too. I like hair like this - you don't have to worry about styling it! This I can handle. I think when I make the next one I am going to 'borrow' Tia Linda's idea and make him the 'One that Got Away'. With a club in one hand and trailing a bra behind him from the other hand. Sounds like a hoot to me!

I have more photos .. just click on the continue reading link.

"The one that got away..."??? Oh my gosh! I haven't laughed so hard in ages. That is SO funny. He's delightful Judi. I love pieces that make me smile.

He came out SO GREAT, Judi! You were RIGHT to add the doodads to the bra! It made a good contrast! You're a hoot with a heart, girl! This is a marvelous, fun piece for a wonderful cause! Clap, clap, clap ...!

Judi, I think he is going to be the bell of the ball (er, the troll of the ball, maybe?)
Do you get to keep hiim, or does he become the property of the Breast Cancer project? Is he going to be auctioned off to raise money, or are they going to take his picture for a calendar?

Love your troll, Judi. He turned out really great. Makes me smile everytime I see him.

i think that he's lovely. Perhaps that's not the right word. Charming? Interesting. Do make a pattern!

HOW TERRIFIC!!!
No wonder you're the Queen Bea-- the embellishments are awesome! He will raise LOTS of money for Breast Cancer research, if that's what he's going for.
