I taught a somewhat (we had a very small meeting) successful class at Guild and while prepping for the class I decided to make smaller reindeer. Essentially it's the same formula as the tutorial I posted earlier here, except that the jelly roll log makes two reindeer. Use less wire for the antlers and that's the only real difference in technique.
I can't seem to find the oval googly eyes in the stores, but haven't really looked too hard. One tweak to the tutorial above is that you may want to make an indent for the eyes before baking, particularly for the smaller ones. Otherwise they might end up a bit skewed looking. But that can be part of the charm, too.
And I'm thrilled to have been hosted on CraftGossip. Thanks to Elaine for doing that. I confess to not knowing what CraftGossip is but I spent a happy few minutes looking through the entries and I'm in good company.
These might the the ornaments that I give to family. Right now I've got them in my cubicle at work and people come in and smile.
Smiles are good.
Cheers,
Sandy
