Mofy Rabbit

Mofy Rabbit

This adorable felt bunny is only 6cm, just the right size for a dollie!
The details are painted with fabric paint using a toothpick as a brush.
This plush is inspired by Mofy, the bunny created by Aki Kondo.

I made this bunny for my "Little Principessa" as an apology for leaving her so long without a body.
Her new 23cm Obitsu body has been ready for her mini Pullip head for months but I had trouble getting ahold of sealer MSC. Then I had to work on a 12plush commission and random presents so I couldn't do anything till now.

I've started touching up her face-up, she was too pale & gothic for my taste.
I want to make my own Mamachapp using Obitsu pieces.
I need to fix my J-doll's faceup which was slightly marred while trying to replace her body.
Hopefully soon I'll be able to order Obitsu parts to make a better version of Chii from Chobits for whom I've already found lovely sexy outfits on Ebay.

I was hoping to start working on Valentine's Day Project to sell on Etsy but I've neglected my dollie hobby too long so for now I want to concentrate on it.
Don't worry though! It shouldn't take me long and as this is my creative blog you can be sure it'll be updated with pictures of all my work, dollie related included.

Yikes, so many projects and not enough time!
And next week I start College!

Ponyo (on the Cliff by the Sea)

Ponyo
I apologize for not wishing everyone "HAPPY THANKSGIVING!" on Thursday but I was caught up with the celebrations & feasting.

I've been wanting to make a plush Ponyo ever since seeing the movie, another adorable Miyazaki masterpiece.

Ponyo was made with felt, her wool hair is hot-glued piece by piece & she has googly eyes.

My Beloved was so impressed with the plush he stated it looks like the original & suggested trying to sell one on Etsy.
What do you think, would anyone be interested in adopting one?

NOTE: Please credit me when using my images/creations, thank you!

REMINDER: don't forget to apply to my GiveAway for a chance to win a plush of your choice from the "Xmas Plush Collection"!

POSSIBLE PROJECTS: SackBoy, Strawberry Shortcake & Custard

Gingerbread Men

Evolution of Gingerbread man
I tried to touch up my Gingerbread Man Plush
1) is first one I made (see Plush post);
2) is the same as before with modified eyes;
3) is new pattern

I would ask which do you think is better but honestly the only difference between them is the fact that the pattern was changed from 2 pieces to 1 and I used more felt than fabric paint for the details.

I think I'm going to make a Xmas Plush Collection set to sell on Etsy based on the new 1piece pattern.
Wonder if anyone is interested?
Gingy
This is my first attempt of a gingerbread man based on a very simple pattern made to look like Gingy from "Shrek"
I'm not very satisfied so I may redo him, maybe with the new pattern and less fabric paint. What do you think?

Btw I'd like to thank KnittingTurnip, Breezy21 & Merylu for becoming my first Blog Followers!

Xmas Plush Collection

Xmas Plush Collection
Since funds are too scarce I thought of making Christmas presents for our friends & family.
I also figured hand-made presents would be appreciated more than bought ones.
I drew inspiration from a set of Christmas cards seen at Walmart to create my Xmas Plush Collection in my style.
They were heartly approved by my Beloved (who decided to keep the Reindeer) & a couple of online friends. I really hope they'll also be liked by their future owners.

This morning I decided I should try making another set and selling each plush separately on Etsy & following Barbara's advice promoting it on a blog.
So here I am!

I'm also planning on making Xmas stockings for my Beloved's niece & nephew.
