OOAK Necklaces

I've made some OOAK necklaces :)

They're in my etsy shop:

I can do it myself!

 

Kidogo: I've got this!

Me: Are you sure? Do you have money?

Kidogo: Money?

Me: Yeah, you have to pay to mail things.

Kidogo: You mean you don't just drop the box in that metal bin thingy?

Me: Nope, that's just part of it. Sorry.

Kidogo: Ok, I don't got this.

No worries though, I helped a bear out and got the package mailed anyways.

Soon Sebastian will have a letter... and maybe a sweet little snack to enjoy :)

A little story...

Me: Hey Kidogo, whatcha up to?

Kidogo: Writing Sebastian, I said I would.

Me: Uhm, you know this is Christmas stationary, right?

Kidogo: Yes... but it was the only bear sized stationary you had with bears on it.

Me: Ah, well, yes, I guess it was.

Kidogo: You should look into that.

Me: Will do, good sir.

Kidogo: And, also, if it's not too much trouble, you should help me mail this, please.

The dolls have taken over!

I collect dolls.

This is one of my Azone Pure Neemo dolls, she is an [Ex Cute] Majokko Aika / Little Witch of the Flame, but I call her Sam

Mostly Volks Dollfie Dreams and Azone Pure Neemos (although I now have one Blythe... she creeps everyone out and I love it, and I also have a few Barbie).

I've always wanted to do something "more" with them, other than just have them sit around and look nice, so...

they've started a blog.

A blog where they review toys. 

Yes, toys reviewing toys.

If you're so inclined... and like things like chocolates, books, dollies, doll clothes, teddy bears, other stuffed animals, etc etc etc, please stop by and check it out :)

PS, I have been sick lately :(

Drawing on Dresses...

A friend of mine makes little dresses for dolls... and we thought it might be fun if I sketched on a few of them... so here are the results... pretty simple, but I think they turned out kinda cute:

New bear and better pics of the pink panda

Well, I made this little grey bear (on the left) utilizing some techniques that some very nice and wonderful bear makers passed along... plus a different sewing technique that I think works better and is a lot more secure... and it never ceases to amaze me how one pattern can produce two very different little bears! The little grey guy is stuffed mostly with glass bead because I wanted him to be really squishy, and he has glass eyes, which, for the first time, thanks to a lot of help from my favorite bear makers, I feel are fastened in really securely... I'm stupidly proud of that, lol.

I remember cutting out this bear and thinking "Oh, I won't like him, because this is weird, spikey mohair and he just won't turn out cute," but... I really LOVE the way this mohair both looks and feels as a bear. Never judge a mohair un-beared!

Look Ma, no hands!

This little guy is a beanbag. Oh yes.
He has no hands, he has no feet,
But he has a mouth so he can eat... and get chubbier...

I wanted him to be really antique-like... but I haven't distressed him yet. I've never done that before and the idea of it scares me XD Maybe I'll try it on a lighter one where it might show up more dramatically.
I want to work on making his face a bit more 'antique bear'ish too. It wasn't *quite* what I had in mind.

But overall I like him XD

A picture from Biltmore... with a bear!

Ok, maybe not what you were thinking, but I had seen this tree there and just had to take a picture... then add my own little woodland friend, lol!

And now for something completely different...

After yesterdays disturbing knitting... here is something cute:


Now, the blog I got this from did not credit the photo... so if this is your photo... or you know where it came from... please tell me! I prefer to credit as much as possible!!!

Another zombie bear and better pictures!

Well... it seems the zombies are coming! Here is my latest little zombie... I'm still debating on whether to give him a lolling tongue or not.His fabric has holes in it... so it looks like he's rotting away! I've needlefelted the stuffing into those holes, so he won't *really* ooze bear guts, but I think it's pretty amusing anyways. :)

And here are some better pictures of the brown bear... who got shorted when I had to use my phone to take pics of him. Poor little guy!

Things I have to share...

So, I am a notorious Etsy surfer... and yesterday I stumbled across this (click the pic to be taken to the etsy shop):
It's only $15!!!! AND SO CUTE!!! I bought one... they're currently out of them in the shop, but I looked through the sales history and the seller has sold several of them, so I'm sure more could be made if any other bear lovers want one!

I just had to share. It was too cute.

Also... giveaway time!

Zombie Bear!!!

Here is another of my Needle felted army... there will be one other zombie bear as well... I've had fun with these guys! (there are a lot more normal needle felted bears like the grey one I showed a few posts ago... but with Halloween closing in... I just couldn't resist!!) Oh, and yes, he stands on one foot on his own, lol... he's quite the happy zombie!

Another New Bear and a Blog Party!

Well, I did it, I drew up a new bear pattern and made him, all in one day. I also decided to try my hand at needle felting his muzzle and nose... which I almost didn't do because the pattern is really cute without any modifications... but I thought, no, I had better go for it with the needle felting before I lose my nerve... and I LOVE how he has turned out!!! I have got to make more of these!!!
The entire muzzle was actually felted with white wool... and then completely hand colored by me (I loooove shading)

He has button joints for his arms and legs, and a cotter pin joint for his head... I think he needs a bow or something though... I plan on giving him needle felted paw pads, and I think I'm going to order some apoxy sculpt and make him little claws too.

I'm also going to give this pattern a go in mohair too :) ... but I *really* love how it looks this way.

Also! FawnDear is having a Neverland blog party... so click the image to join in the fun!
