Rad-ipose

The Rad-ipose

The Glowing Rad-ipose

The radioactive Rad-ipose must have formed inside a Springfield nuclear power plant employee! He was made with a double strand of Night Lights glow-in-the-dark yarn and Paton's Grace in Snow (for bulk). The little radiation symbol sewn to his chest is actually a Shrinky Dink that you can run through your ink jet printer -- which is just about the coolest crafty invention I've seen in ages!

Adipose!

Egads! The parthenogenesis has accelerated, destroying the host! Oh, the price of vanity. (Like the pill props? Capsuline carries many colors and sizes of empty gelatin capsules.)

Adipose Invasion

The lovely adi-rose, and friends

Three regular adipose, and one adi-rose! These little guys are going to raise money for charity at our local Doctor Who fan club's monthly meeting.

They are all made from the pattern by Crochet At Midknight. (Rose pattern from Planet June.) All use a size G (4mm) crochet hook. From left to right:
  • Lion Brand Cotton-Ease (worsted, 50% cotton/50% acrylic) in Almond
  • Lion Brand Vanna's Choice (worsted, 100% acrylic) in Linen
  • Lion Brand Cotton-Ease (worsted, 50% cotton/50% acrylic) in White
  • Lion Brand Cotton-Ease (worsted, 50% cotton/50% acrylic) in Berry
Look out! It's the mad-ipose!

One special mad-ipose, made by request for my husband. (Also in Cotton-Ease, black.)
