Cygnus Loopy Bird
Hi everyone! This is my first posting for the Fast Friday Fabric Challenges! I loved the theme and was inspired by Marilyn Foulke's Louis the Loopy bird from Louisville piece.
Loopiland is a large planet and has more than one species of fowl on it. I was able to capture a 'picture' of this bird-like creature called a Cygnus Loop-y Bird:
The Cygnus Loop-y Bird has a loopy crest and tail that are remarkably like tee-shirt strips! It's long beak can suck out food from deep underground. They are a flightless bird but can walk very fast until their five legs trip them up.
The 'picture' of this odd bird measures 4x6 inches in size and will be shipped off to Houston for further inspection. I hear it will be then donated to a worthy cause there, to raise money for "Friends for Life" a pet rescue organization.
Thank you for allowing me into the group! This was a lot of fun and I love how I will be able to help out a pet here on earth too!

Melvin, the Spotted, Ridgebacked, Fuzzy Headed Pigasus!
As our space ship begins it's descent to planet Loopiland, I glanced out the window to see this wondrous creature waiting to welcome us! It seems that because Loopiland is mainly water, many of the mammals who live there have evolved to fly as a means of getting around.
The ridges on his back are made from felt, his hair is red and purple yarn which was fuzzed using a cat brush, his tail is a pipe cleaner and his wings are part of a pair of fairy wings I got in the costume section at Dollar Tree.
I had a lot of fun creating Melvin. There was a companion piece to go with him planned but I ran out of stuffing..lol

Deb
I am not sure if I followed the loop procedure correctly. This is created as to represent a picture in a picture album. To do this I uploaded 2 pics, one with album open and 1 with it closed. I used a photo and transferred it to fabric the back ground is upholstery fabric sample, this was free motion embroidery. I wanted this to look a bit 3 D. The cover is made to look like a door ( door is cotton fabric, loops ribbon with felted balls to hook on.) Around her neck Deb wears a necklace made out of an old garnet ear ring.
I had fun with this challenge just doing my own thing. When an idea pops into my head I reach in pull it out and hope for the best. Comments will be appreciated. I look forward to seeing what everyone has created.

Lupus in Loopiland
When I mentioned the theme of this challenge to my husband, he suggested that a wolf, as a "loupine" be part of the picture, hence the grey fellow here. I took the stone loops from Cay's story very literally, making them 3-dimensional infinity signs; the loops themselves are not tacked down.
Because the blue/purple loops did not show up well on the watery background, I ironed on some thin fusible interfacing to add contrast.
The wolf was cut out of dark grey fusible interfacing and some eyelash yarn fused to it, with the eye added using fabric paint. I also tried outlining him, and his tail, with black fabric paint, but it needs more.
Critiques are welcome. A fun challenge, Cay!

Wide Eyed Loopy-Finned Stickleback
I'm one of the new members this year and have been waiting excitedly for this first challenge.
I imagined our exploration of aquatic planet Loopiland in search of life. We identified and catalogued the indigenous flora and fauna...and I found the Wide Eyed Loopy-Finned Stickleback!
The challenge loops make up the side and lower fins, and since this piece is sculptural, there are fins on both sides for a total of ten loops! I'm considering adding something more to the tail to balance the numerous and exuberant back spines...thoughts?
I enjoyed making this bit of whimsy, and I hope it brings a smile to you, too!

The Day and Night Flip!
My loop element is the hanging system for the panels. The loops are intertwined. There are 3 green loops for the day panel; 4 blue/purple loops for the night panel; and 2 larger blue/purple loops for the bottom panel.
I took photos of this piece last night using a green fabric tube to cover the rod used. But I think I may remove that fabric tube, because it seems to hold the eye from moving around the entire piece.
All comments welcome!
Green Headed Loopster
Shortly after landing on Planet Loopiland, Spaceship FFFC was greeted by the Green Headed Loopster, the planet’s ambassador.
The Loopster’s “loops” are a different interpretation from the dimensional loops suggested by Cay’s examples. My loops are three layers (2 fabric and 1 fuzzy yarn) rouched and sewn into loops. His head is loops of yarn.
Thanks Cay for a fun challenge forcing us to think outside the box.

Louie, the Loopy Bird from Louisville
I haven't posted anything for a while, but this seemed like a lot of fun...
Louie's quilt is all in wool felt, but his loops are cotton. I added a few beads, too

Challenge 73: Planet Loopiland
Fast Friday Fabric Challenge for September 2012
Challenge Hostess:
Cay Denise MacKenzie
Title: Blast Off to
Planet Loopiland!
Spaceship FFFC has just landed on Planet Loopiland and you’re
discovering just how loopy this new world is.
Readings indicate the entire planet is covered by water with the only
hints of a molten planet interior ~~ the monolithic stone loop and plateau
formations that water flows through and under, and that our spaceship sits upon.
You can use this short story as a take-off point or pursue
your own direction for imagery. The
challenge, however, is to create a piece that incorporates at least two “loops”
(three layer strips –with or without stabilizer) sewn into the piece as a design
element(s). Remember to have
fun!
To help with idea generation, below are some links to get
your creative imagination working where loops are concerned:
