This was my first swap and I have to say I definately felt some pressure. The rules for Back-tack 3 were pretty intense the little object had to be a 'softie', less than a certain height, black and white with no less than 20% of one other colour, have 5 buttons and the first initial of the person it was being sent to and may or may not be one of three suggested patterns.
To cut a long story short, this is what I ended up making. Alex said she liked her but I get the impression she thinks it is a bit weird.... read quote...
"I got the weirdest softie ever existed, I guess. At least it is in the Top 10 of "Weirdest Softies Ever""
which I am taking as a compliment, I too, think it ended up as quite a strange little creature but I did come to quite like her as she sat on the mantlepiece waiting to be sent. Hopefully she will grow on her and it won't freak out small children.

Well done ~ yes she is different, but way cool nontheless.
Hey, I really love her! She's cool, absolutely not boring and I very much appreciate that you created something different for me. Ah... not scary, by the way, my daughter is okay ;-)
I already prepared a blog entry about this weird bunny/original piece of art but before I could finish and launch it the next day our pc broke... I have no access to blogger right now, can't find my password...
Can't write emails... it's so... I don't have words for this situation...!

PS: In my opinion "weird" is not negative... I thought of eccentric... and that would be more than okay, wouldn't it?!
I think she is really cool! Very unique and interesting... there's no point hand-making a toy for an adult if it ends up looking like a shop-bought one for a child. Having said that, mine was not nearly so adventurous but now I wish I'd experimented more.
Ooh, I like how she has faces on both sides. Very neat.
I'll be so curious to see your reaction to the one I sent you. I think it has some weirdness to it, but not as much as I'd intended. The cute demon took me over. :-)
I totally love it! Especially the heart.
It was only last weekend that I had a conversation with someone from Denmark (not Mary) about how hard it is to communicate in a second language, and how often you don't realise that you haven't actually said what you thought you were saying...
...but anyone that can string sentence together in a second language is doing better than most Australians.
that is one crazy softie, i especially like the side with the face printed on the fabric. that's very cool.
now that is really cool!!!!!!!!!
I love it! wish I made something this cool...
