K9's Control Panel is Lighted

This K9's control panel is lighted. Of course, still more to work on... the bottom of the body "dents" is done. Yep, I did make a few adjustments because it is foam and is not strong. I will add black "bumper" over it... won't know the different. I am just cleaning up any leakage from glue and few things to be cut/fixed a bit. I still can't find the piece I need for eye.

K9 in Process... 3

I worked on "dents" on body. I did just fine with front and back.

However with sides are bit challenging because of the angles. So I figured out the shapes and measurements. I tested one by one. Just one side and I made it. Thank god. One more side to go. Done.

Can't find the plastic piece for eye. I can't remember where it went. Grrrr.

Last thing is some sort of gun out of nose. I think I just have a thing for it somewhere... will check it out.

LED Lights


I found this cute LED mirco lights at Big Lots for my K9 control panel.
That should help due to its size of bulb and is battery operated. Should be fine for foam core board.

K9 in Process... 2

I am going to put them (photos) up at either Flickr or Slider after Halloween.

Wait and see...

Right now I am working on neck with coverings which are remnants of fabrics.

It's like recycle them than waste them....

I finished the tail part. It's cute.

Later!

P.S. I just worked on back top part... like I said details on base of body will be put on hold as well as nose part. I gonna try to work on eye part... figure out red stuffs...

K9 in Process...

I did the body part and the neck too. Will soon working on head.

Body part, there are few details but I will not to do it now... I will hold that until later date.

I already got paints. Yah. Got few things for ear "antennas" and "eye"

I know I could not wait to complete it. Making a plan takes much longer than build it!

Keep in mind that I am using foam core board... not metal... not strong plastic thing... not wood.

I hope in the future that I could made it with better materials but for now, I am just enjoyed making it. I'm trying to take a photo of step by step.

Does my knitted collar look nice on him???


(Top part of body is not finished, there is some more to come to build)

K9 collar

I done it few days ago... not able to upload an image on my computer. I get to upload it at college. I used my old necklace.. there was bag of old stuffs I saved for project. It was long so I cut it down to small and make it a "chain" for tag. The tag is circle chipboard and I used a bit silver paint but guess what, my paint bottle is almost dry completely... I'll buy new one soon.

I also bought few thing to support neck. Can't wait to see a finishing project.

K9 collar

I put foam core board on hold because I am tired... I just do little knitting of collar with remaining yarns from my scarf (I mean it there's still much left. "Tan" is almost out about bit smaller than a baseball and so grey is sort of almost out, bit bigger than a baseball... like softball. For gold, red, green, brown and purple.. they are like half left. Interesting.) I noticed that collar has pattern but could not make out exact what color. Old K9 has collar that is plain. Recently one didn't look plain but has bars. I just go ahead do my best. I tested several times to see how many stitch I need, how many rows. I just do guess work. I think collar maybe have 5 bars of colors in it but bit hard for knit so basically I make it looks like with three colors. Wish that I could see K9 for real, I would know.

Will post photo of it when I'm done. it's fast and easy... not like my scarf- lol.
P.S. I was pondering why it showed bars instead of plain... then I found small piece of plain and noticed something in one section... it looks bars. Interesting. Will show you what I meant soon.

Here it is.
