Today's theme for Fresh Stitches Design Week is
'Trouble Spots'.
Yesterday I told you that I am trying to make an amigurumi version of this picture for the current
Plush Team challenge. I showed you how I'd done the skull and ended by saying
'next step - the pitcher'.
The pitcher is definitely a trouble spot! It's such a weird shape, it is going to be really hard to make it in 3d. Here's a sketch where I've tried to imagine it flattened out. I've only drawn 2 sides - the third side will be even harder!
I've decided to start with the base as an equilateral triangle and build it up from there, making each side separately. Does anyone have any better ideas or other advice to give?
And in today's other news, the circus is in town! If you look carefully you can see a black blob to the right of the first megaphone - that is the backside of a monkey! Yes, a real monkey, tied to the roof of the van as it goes through town advertising the circus. I took the photo quickly with my phone as it drove by which is why I managed to miss getting all of the monkey. Some things only happen in BiH! (well probably other places too, but not any places I've been too.)
This blog post is for
Day 5 of Fresh Stitches Design Week.
