Dominic the Dragon Feltie

I had fun signing books at the Immedium booth during Wondercon. Those who stopped by the booth got a glimpse of my Dominic the Dragon feltie who's been my mascot at the various book signing events I've been doing. He's probably my most ambitious felted critter -there were lots of little details involved, the eyes and claws are made of sculpey that I painted; again the photos aren't really doing him justice. He was challenging but alot of fun to make and he seems to be holding up pretty well through all the traveling and being pawed and petted by cute little kids (he did lose an eye a couple times). In related news the first printing of The Year of the Dragon is apparently almost sold out! Thanks so much to everyone who picked up a copy, the last few months have been a bit surreal for me but all the support and positive feedback has really meant alot.

Flying Felted Bunny

Here's another needle felt critter I made -this one was a gift for my friend and is loosely based on her real live bunny. She was fun to make, the wings were the hardest, they have wire inside and are flexible. Sorry for the lousy pictures, it's really hard to photograph these with my not-so-great camera.Here's her real alter ego minus wings:And here's a little sketchy doodle I did to figure out how I was going to make her, yep drawing still comes in handy when making these.

The Year of the Dragon is now a Story App

Hey everybody!

The Year of the Dragon has been transformed into a really fun and super cute interactive animated 3D story app by the talented folks at Mobad Media. I saw a sneak preview of it awhile back and was very impressed by the work they put into it. When I was told an app for the book was being made I really had no idea what to expect and this went way beyond any expectations I had, they really did an awesome job. Please check out the preview video:



The app is currently available for the Ipad/Iphone and also Mac OS 10.7:

And thanks so much again for all your support!
