The Enderman is finished.
Last week, I showed off the head. I had chosen a deadline of Thursday to get it finished. I'll explain...
First, I made the Creeper. (These are characters in the videogame Minecraft.) Because twins, I offered to make a second. They named a couple different characters. I found the pattern, but I didn't get much further than that because then my mother died. (I promise, this is related.)
A week later, my brother said he was planning to visit our uncle (our father's brother), and would I like to come along? He wanted to check in on him after his wife passed away the same week as our mother.
The plan was to fly up Friday, fly back Sunday. (Uncle lives in northern California. I live in southern California. Brother lives in Ohio, but he was going to be in southern California for work that week.)
I realized that if I got Enderman finished in time, I could give it to my brother rather than mailing it to him. By doing a piece every day, I got to this point on Wednesday:
And as we puttered about with our uncle, we ended up at Goat Rock Beach:
Next up will be Zombie. If I can find a pattern. And yarn. And the time. But I might just pause and work on some other things for a while.
So sorry to hear about the two deaths in your family. That can't be easy. I'm not real familiar with the game, have heard of it, but that's about it. I like your little character though, it has personality. I'm glad you were able to get it done in time to take with you and give to your brother in person. He looks pleased with it. Again my deepest condolences for your loss.
ReplyDeleteHe's great! I like how your brother is taking him along and having photo shoots with him! That's a beautiful section of coast there.
ReplyDeleteNice job!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Looks like he really likes it.
ReplyDeleteIt came out great and your brother looks like he likes it.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely creepy. It was great seeing the picture of your brother with it. I hope you enjoyed your visit.
