A wild craft appears!
This is one of my new projects. I wanted a little get-a-away from plush making so I decided to dive into the world of cross stitch. This is my first one, I created it for my husband. He is an aspiring tattoo artist and has stay true tattooed on his hands so I thought it fitting. It was a frustrating and time consuming project, but I do enjoy the final product. My next ones will be a bit more in the style of subversive Xstitch or have geeky quotes in them. I have a whole list of fun ones I want to do.

Have no fear, I'll still be making new plush. This was just my little break from it. 

Spring is coming, when thoughts turn to Jellyfish and Milkshakes!

Strawberry Jelly and his pal Milkshake are off to a new home today.. good luck guys!

A new Holiday Tradition: Christmas Patrol Goblins

Meet Santa's Other Helpers, Santa's real eyes and ears, who hang out in your house all year and write down all your children's misdeeds and report back to Santa. These cute Goblins are about 13 inches tall, handmade from cruelty-free poly-felt. Their little tunics, hooded cloaks, and fleece tights as well as pointy green elf slippers are all handmade and removable. Every C.P.G. (Christmas Patrol Goblin) comes with a little hand stained wooden chest to keep their naughty list. These guys are small enough to go everywhere with you and your family so they can keep a watch over the little ones. Each Goblin comes with a copy of My Santa's other Helpers poem that shares their back story, along with a scroll to write down misdeeds and a little convenient secret "jingle bell" key chain for parents. These Goblins have the ability to become "invisible" but kids can sometimes hear their bells jingling when they are misbehaving in grocery stores.....the car...restaurants....

 

Do you know of any kids who need a Christmas Patrol Goblin in their life????

Henry Fabien "The Architect Of Strange Impossible Things"

 

Once upon a time, there was a poor architect called Henry. He was the architect of strange impossible things

 His works were pretty amazing, everybody were admiring his designs because of the projects were colorfull, ethusiastic, modern, inspired, full of imagination... still, he was a poor architect. He was designing those beatiful houses but noone could ever live in them, because the houses were drawn upside down, means the people had to walk in the air to get in their houses. And he was drawing shoping malls but there was no space to put actuall stores in it, Henry was filled with the trees everywhere, he thought this is better. And his last project was a school but this time he didn't add the stairs, stairs always made me feel me blue he said, so here was a huge building with plenty of  classrooms but no stairs.

Once upon a time, there was a poor and odd architect called Henry. He was the architect of strange impossible things.

little fabien handmade dolls: cute ever after!

 

 

 

When Tugce was 5, her mother gifted a kitten to her. Tugce named the cat ''Yosi'' because of it's eyes were moss-like. They were having great time together playing games all the time. Even one day Tugce took Yosi to her kindergarten, but you know what, Yosi the ''curious'' just disappeared when it tours around. Tugce felt so sad and started to crying, what a cry! She cried her eyes out. Noboady managed to cease her tears. And then the day become evening. Tugce took the road to her school bus while she was holding a handkerchief with one hand because of she has snuffles and the other hand full with the pages of the coloring book has given as a homework. At that very moment ''the boy playing in sandpit'' showed up and said:

More nerdy-ness. StarCraft 2 Zealot plush

Made this little guy over the weekend. He is based off a Zealot character in StarCraft 2. He is about 12 inches (30.5 cm) tall and is made of fleece, felt, yard, and beads. My favorite part is his little toes. I included the concept sketch as well. I don't normally do bi-peddle plush, but this turned out better than I though it would.

Unicorns Are REAL!

This is by far my largest plush creation yet! It was a custom order for a local company. They have commissioned 25 mega-sized plushies of my choosing so I'm looking forward to making the rest of the mammoth crew.

The unicorn is made from plush fur with tulle mane and tail.  I used wooden poles wrapped in thick layers of felt to support the legs and neck.  The rest is stuffed with polyfill.  His name is Larry and he doesn't exist.
