I've been thinking about adding a new challenge and  think I've come up with some thing.

The challenge

"The Labyrinth"

(the film with David Bowie in)

There are so many unusual characters  with in the walls of the Labyrinth and we only got to see a few in the film.
What I'd like to put forward to you all is to design your own character be  it a   monster, fairy, bug,elf..... what ever you think would live within the goblin kings realm let your imagination flow

A reminder of what the story and other inhabitance look like http://www.geocities.com/amuletts/labyrinth.html

Rules

1, dead line is July the 1st
2, you may use any Fabric you like
3, please do not enter critters you have already made
4,you may make any type of critter you like
5,do not make any direct copy's of the well know charactors

good luck everyone

"Through Dangers Untold
and Hardships unnumbered
I have fought my way here to the Castle
Beyond the goblin City
To take back the Child you have Stolen
For my will is as strong as yours
And my Kingdom as Great........
.......................
Damn! I can Never Remember that line!
You Have No Power over Me "

Alright.... this is just WEIRD!!  I just came from looking at The World of Froud website (http://www.worldoffroud.com/www/main.cfm) and clicked on this challenge!!

For anyone who doesn't know about the Frouds... from the website:  "Wendy Froud worked as sculptor and puppet builder for Jim Henson for many years, primarily on the films THE DARK CRYSTAL, LABYRINTH and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK.  She sculpted "Jen" and "Kira" for THE DARK CRYSTAL and "Yoda" for THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK." 

Very cool site.  Check it out for inspiration!

Must be an omen that I must join in this challange.   bear_grin

I am also a big fan of  Brian Froud Ann. I have several of his books.
I used the pages from the squashed fairy calender as shelf liners in the linen cupboard. bear_grin

I'll be in it. I have something I have been working on and off for sometime. It will give me incentive to finish it.

Hi everyone,
I would love to part of this challenge, but I am afraid to comment because things change so quickly and I sometimes can't get it done. But, I so want to do this one - :dance:  :dance:  it is right up my alley. bear_original  bear_thumb
dido Wendy, I have talked - (emailed) Brian and Wendy Froud- they are the nicest people. They are really big in the doll world, as you all know.
So, July 1st ---hmmmmm ? can I get it done? I have one I have been waiting to have an excuse to make.
Did not think she would be one the collectors would go for. LOL
well, ...... ???

hugs kassie

Well, his name came to me in the dark hours before daylight...and then I couldn't see to write it down...and I just asked my Hubby...what is his name...he said "Pherd"...I think, considering how many times I have made him watch Labyrinth with me...that is a perfect name... he lives in David Bowies hair...cause that's the only place there is any room...surely not in those leggings..don't ya think?? :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:
