Cute little ghosts and lights - Page 9 & 10

Image of one of the adipose compared to a thumb with the caption "I mean seriously way too small and I have to make 9" and the handle @spacebatdesignsPage 9 was mostly about small fiddly repetition. I foolishly continued my trend of avoiding felt (partly I'm not sure I had enough, and partly I just I dunno I didn't wanna) but turning inside out 9 tiny adipose was hard work. 

The ribbon was fairly quick to sew into the number shapes although pinning them into shape was a pain as they are so small. It was also fun to use up little bits and create a colour sequence. I actually think they look more like little ghosts or like the stay puffed marshmallow man out of GhostBusters as well as adipose and I quite like that they have character and therefore aren't identical.

So that was so quick I thought I'd add in Page 10! 

Ood are a fan favourite character and I knew I really wanted to make the communication globe light up as it does in the tv series. I experimented with those keyring lights before I found that an LED light for a bike (small one) would work perfectly inside.
When the light shines you do see some of the yellow plastic I didn't quite manage to cut away but I love how it looks all the same. It was fun making the ood as the fabric for the head was already naturally wrinkly and the ribbons made short work of the tentacles. A quick and easy page to put together
