Hi all
Just couldn't keep this one to myself (did a search and couldn't find an already started topic . . )

I got my copy of Tonya McNeill's Wrist Critters yesterday sent by email (all in PDF format)
I have to say that the Wrist Critters are GREAT!  They are quick, fun and really cute.
Tonya emailed it to me within a few hours, and I was able to spend the day twisting.
Many of them made my 4year old's eyes light up  

There are 18 quick and easy wearable designs with alternate instructions for 1 of the designs.
Designs include:
Rooster, Polar Bear, Swan, Cow, Giraffe, Lamb, 2 different Dogs, Tiger, Donkey, 2 Eagles, Elephant, Horse, Hippo, Zebra, Rabbit, Reindeer, Pig and Goat

Designs use a mixture of 160s and 260s, but a couple use hearts or 350s - 2-3 balloons per critter, with some using 4 (those ones would require some practise to get under 5 minutes to make)

Great for line work - most of them are really easy, with only a couple of trickier models
(there is 1 that uses a raisin twist, which I couldn't do in a line yet)
Most of these critters are intermediate skill level

Fabulous CD - instructions are really well written.

I know what I'm going to be twisting at my next gig!!!
Thanks so much Tonya!!

This is how I spent part of my day  
(all on the CD except for the baby dragon - I couldn't help myself!!)
Sorry about the photos - not sure how to get them small without being 'lumpy'

Lisa

Wow...thanks for the awesome review Lisa...I'm glad you are having fun with the CD :-)
 
I just have to say that I LOVE your dragon!  I hope you don't mind if I use that design also, I think the kids at the restaurant would really like that one.  Thank you so much for sharing it :-)

Hope you have fun creating many more.
Thanks again for the review :-)

Happy Twisting!

Glad you liked the little dragon - use it till your heart's content (I wouldn't have posted it otherwise!)
The cd inspired me to make lots of my animals into wrist critters    (the dragon was the only one worth posting though)

Lisa

thanks Lisa, I appreciate it :-) And I'm sure your other animals are not that bad...lol.  Glad you've been inspired too!

I have just decided what I am going to ask the man in red for!

I made the mistake of looking at this page when my kids were in the room and not only did they insist that I get the CD but they also both love the dragon so I am going to have to figure that out once I have the grasp of wrist critters!  :lol:

Tonya I'll be over shortly to purchase my email version too    best keep my little masters happy.

Hi Yvonne,

I just got it sent to you :-)

Hope the kiddos (and yourself) have lots of fun with them too!

Thanks a bunch!

Hi Lisa,

I tried your version of the dragon...mine is not NEAR as cute as yours...lol.
