Narwhal scarf

I love custom work. When someone told me they wanted a narwhal, I give them what they want!

Sometimes I love it when I can find the right material for the job. It looks like a spiral horn!

All done. Enjoy! Yeah, I don’t use patterns.

Wix Lounge SF

I’ll have my scarves for sale at Wix Lounge in San Francisco’s Mission district on December 10th from 11am – 5pm. I’m going to have the scarves, a few ornaments and even a few cards and paper goods. I hope to see you there!

Some ornaments you’ll see at the show!

Baking and random ornaments

Hi friends. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I suppose it has. I really do wish I had a better way of uploading pictures. I do really enjoy taking them, but putting them up is such a chore! Let’s go over a few things I’ve recently done. I guess it must be the holiday season or something because oh boy I’ve been making ornaments like no other! I’m a big fan of the blanket stitching stuff or outward seams, so less talking and more pictures! Oh yeah, and that scarf was this custom scarf that someone ordered. She wanted a ferret face, body and upper legs, owl eyes and feet, turtle shell, narwhal fins and tail! *whew* That was definitely a challenge, but I love accepting challenges and interesting things to do.

Panda and Fox scarves

Okay, okay. I fell off the daily scarf bandwagon. I decided this year to actually have sort of a life. I know, it’s crazy. Here are some scarves for you!

And the winner of the contest is…

Heather!! Congratulations, everyone, for entering in the contest. Unfortunately for a few of you, I didn’t put you in the running because I didn’t check my pending comments before I did the drawing, so the three of you that submitted last night will be entered in February’s drawing! Yay! So, once again, congratulations Heather and let me know what you would like for your scarf. Of the few that you mentioned, I have a fox and a narwhal. I actually have an orange fox (much like mine) and an orange and tan houndstooth fox! I’ll post pictures soon.

I thank everyone for entering and for those who entered in the contest, if you still want a custom scarf, I will create you a custom scarf for only $50! That’s half the normal price for twice the awesomeness! ;)   Just write me a comment or email me at info at mrdeadfish dot com. Thank you, thank you!
