My swap partner in a Sherlock swap mentioned liking stuffies. And I was getting a little tired of making Sirius stuffies and Baskerville hound stuffies. I thought to make this into a stuffie a while back, but never had a reason. This was it!
Thus, I made a Moriarty apple stuffie:
I feel like the letters are a little more squished than they should be, but otherwise it came out rather nicely and it was fun to make!
Okay, once again I fail at a Top Ten list and had to go Top Fifteen. I don’t see anyone complaining. There is so much fannish goodness that comes out of somewhere like a LEGO fan convention and so much creativity. I couldn’t help but admire more than just ten! Despite being numbered, these are really in no particular order. Click on the photos for bigger versions, please! These previews are somewhat blurry and don’t do them justice. Seriously, click on them for a proper look. Trust me. Also, the titles are my own in most but not all cases, because I have to call them something and not all the MOC cards came out in my photos.
Apparently, I skipped a craft post! Here it is, a little late: a Captain Jack Sparrow ATC. It was for one part of a series of Johnny Depp characters; this was the only swap in the series I joined.
Back:
I created and/or cut out these small elements and it felt like I was scrapbooking on a smaller scale here 🙂 I had a hard time finding a map I liked and coloring it to fit my scheme.
Made for a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy swap package that I angeled, here’s a bookmark and a stuffie of the green guy:
The fingers and teeth were the hardest part–so intricate and small. But I think it turned out all right in the end.
As tomorrow is July 4th here in the US, I thought this was an appropriate craft post. This is my Captain America ATC:
Another Star Trek craft this week. For a swap, we were tasked in making stuffies of Star Trek characters in the style of marshmallow peeps. I am not a sewer, but I gave it a shot and ended up making two.
More photos, including close-ups, below…
As I seem to be in a Star Trek mood during this part of the month… I might as well take advantage of that with my craft posts (I think I missed the last scheduled one; oops!)
Here are some Star Trek ornaments I made last year for a swap. My partner said she liked The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine the best, so I made ornaments inspired by com communicator badges from both those series.
One is a stuffie, made of felt, the other made of sparkly pipe cleaners.
I made these ATCs for the Pixar in a Bag fandom swap in February. I used USPS stamps, obviously, and drew the backgrounds. Caution: I’m not too good at drawing! LOL

I’ve folded some Doctor Who cranes as extras in Doctor Who swaps:
You can make your own!

Here are the other two ATCs I made during the same swap as Good Luck Bear.

And Grumpy’s rhyme:
I had a lot of fun with these, as you have probably guessed 😉
