Life #5

Yesterday my cat got tumbled around in the dryer. She's alive.

Art Exchange #2 & #3 and other junk.

I'm a terrible blogger, but that's beside the point. Small Art Exchange #2 has drawn to a close. Above are the arty thingies I made for Mason. Below is the awesomeness I received from the glorious Mason Gui today. I'm not worthy~.

Small Art Exchange #3 starts on September 30. So if you're an artsy folk, join in. You could get paired with Mason. :3

Aside from SAE, I've been reworking some older sketches I've had incubating for a while. I'll probably be making some smaller-than-usual paintings in the near future. Also working on a small commission and more crochet stuff... Blah, blah, blah...

Brainsplode!

Hey everyone! I'm still alive! I realized my photos on my Facebook and website were a bit outdated and looking shabby, so I'm working on revamping all that. The bad news is that I lost the flash drive that had most of my art-related photos, so I'll have to scour the apartment (and hopefully find it) first.

Recently finished stuff: Cleffa (pokemon) amigurumi, Tinypus amigurumi, and Shinx (pokemon) hat.

Frenzy, frenzy, frenzy!!!

Sorry I've been pretty negligent about updating. I haven't gotten a lot accomplished in the last couple of weeks, I haven't slept in 4 days, and I'm leaving for Cancun this evening. Things will regain some hint of normalcy soon (I hope!).

Current projects

I'm finishing up my 12th and final Totoro hat for a while. It was good to earn the Cancun money, but man, I am tired of making them!

Aside from the Totoro hats, I'm almost finished with my Yanma amigurumi. I'll be selling this plush and his pattern in my Etsy shop when he's done. Just 5 more legs and a wing to go!










I'm also working on creating a pattern for the Penguins from Mawaru Penguindrum, the new anime by Kunihiko Ikuhara. I recommend it, and also its predecessor Utena (my favorite anime of all time)!


















Future crochet projects include Snivy, Mareep, and Skitty amigurumi for now. More Pokemon hats to come too.

And I have my project for Small Art Exchange #2 in the works, but I'll keep that a mystery for now!

Still here! Hats, Small Art Exchange, Pokemon Project, Screenprinting!

Hey everyone! I'm still alive, sort of! I've been making Totoro hats for the last three weeks, which was good because I got Cancun money, but terrible because it was so boring and sucking up my life! I've still got a few more to go...














My new crochet project is to design some Pokemon patterns. The Yanma pattern is almost finished... I just need to make multiples of all the parts (4 wings, 6 legs, ugh...)! But I have plans for Mareep and Snivy following Yanma in all likelihood.








Small Art Exchange #2 is about to begin this weekend. For my half of #1, I finished my "Dancing Goat" amigurumi! He's a running joke with old D&D partner, Dallas. Basically, when our game lost focus, my sole purpose was to see this famed "dancing" goat dance. I botched my rolls for probably the entirety of our two year game. BUT RUMOR HAS IT, HE DANCES!






Small Art Exchange #1 wasn't all fun, games, and dancing goats though. I spent three full days and approximately $45 worth of supplies to attempt to help my squirrel-friend screenprint this awesome image onto a shirt for her half. Dear Emily Williams, WE TRIED SO HARD. I'M SO SORRY. Susan made the image and I hand-painted it onto the transparency... My guest-bathroom is a toxic screenprinting disaster zone... CRY!





To treat my screenprinting despair, I did some ghetto screen printing as demonstrated by Threadbanger. It still wasn't as easy as they made it seem, but, behold, RAINBOW TOTORO.


So yeah! I'm still alive. Still doing stuff.

Being popular is hard!

My Totoro Hat was featured on Must Have Cute. I'll be making hats for a while...

Aside from the hats, I recently bought a sewing machine and hope to be making some sewn crafty things soon. I also have an irresistible urge to make a Dunsparce hat. And other various lesser-known Pokemon. There's a lot I want to do!
