the beginning

i was biking the davis bike loop today, keeping an eye out for lost gloves. lo and behold, right by the cuarto dorms, i spotted one! i skidded to the stop, hopped off my bike, and rescued it. tucking the glove safely into my bag, i continued on my way.

once i got home, i washed the glove with laundry detergent in the sink and then tossed it in the dryer. finally, after what seemed like a long time in the dryer, it was ready to be transformed.

in lieu of fiberfill (since michael's doesn't carry any and i'm NOT going back to woodland to try and locate jo-ann fabrics), i opted to use cotton balls. i shredded them up into a fluffy consistency and stuffed the glove til it was filled. i sewed the bottom, added two eyes, and formed the mouth.






and Dug is born!
