download a .PDF for a pattern to make your very own Blood Moon Pillow by Billy Kheel!<\/p>\n<p>Billy makes stuff out of felt, thread, stuffing and whatever else feels appropriate for subjects like giant swordfish, stripmall pillows,\u00a0football trading cards, and even stuffed hunting rifles for babies (yes, \u00a0you read that correctly.) Anything you ever heard about felt appliques and what&#8217;s supposed to happen with\u00a0them\u00a0is pretty much blown out of the water\u00a0by Mr. Kheel. The things he makes are full of contradictions, from the fact that he&#8217;s a bearded dude, not your great great Aunt, and he&#8217;s sewing\u00a0precious collectible items out of everyday things, or making extraordinary versions of items we take for granted or tend to not see. His sport-oriented works are\u00a0especially unique,\u00a0an unexplored way to show love for franchised\u00a0pro performance competition.<\/p>\n<p>The felt works of Mr. Kheel are irresistible. When you come upon one of his pieces, you want to stare at it, touch it to make sure it&#8217;s really fabric, take it home, and then cuddle with it&#8230; even if it&#8217;s a giant foot from the Silverlake Foot Clinic sign on Sunset Blvd.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to own an original Kheel, it&#8217;s not hard, just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/bkheel?ref=related-shop-21&amp;ga_search_query=kheel&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery\" target=\"_blank\">visit Billy&#8217;s Etsy Page,<\/a>\u00a0he&#8217;s got many items for sale at reasonable prices in many ranges and subjects: something for everyone! And <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bkheel.com\" target=\"_blank\">check his site<\/a> to see when he&#8217;s exhibiting and teaching workshops on how to sew your own fabric creations.<\/p>\n<p>Now, get your pattern and materials, follow the pattern and make your blood moon so you can howl\u00a0like the rest of us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Gothtober DAY 8 (the book titled Oliver Twisted) you can download a .PDF for a pattern to make your very own Blood Moon Pillow by Billy Kheel!
