Create 365 - Day 105

For a hot minute I thought I wouldn't have anything to post for today and I wasn't even feeling up to even folding origami. Damn it, weather and allergies, stop messing with me.

I did get the final touches on the chibi doll I was working on and just I got the go ahead to post a pic. Yay!

This is a custom ordered chibi version of Kayako Saeki, the mother ghost, from Ju-On. She has a reverse applique open mouth, hand stitched eyes and back part of hair, hand painted and splattered "blood", also hand painted bags around the eyes which are a little hard to see here. I am so glad the outfit worked out too because I totally winged it on the nightdress and matching panties.
She is finally ready to go to her new home and stop freaking me the hell out. Creepy damn doll, if I do say so myself.

Note to self: Never work on something like this again, late a night, when everyone but you is asleep. O_O

Woo, 100!

What did I make today? Why, miniature panties of course. Oh, and a matching dress. I'm actually posting a picture today because I realized no one is going to know what the heck this is until it's done. So, here is some headless doll booty!

Headless doll booty. Never thought you'd read that, am I right? You're welcome. ;) She does have a head, it just happens to be elsewhere at the moment. I'll have to come up with something else to show for tomorrow because this is the last you'll see of her until she's done.

Still working on the same doll. I should have just changed the type of fabric I was using for the body, but no, I have to be my usual stubborn self. The head looks good but I'm won't know about the body until I turn it and begin to stuff it. Which I'll save for dealing with after I've gotten some sleep.

Here's proof it really does exist. It's only a sneak peek, sorry.

And, here's some filling and somewhat healthy oatmeal muffins. The darker ones were baked with honey on top, the lighter ones without.

Two chibi dolls are done and ready to go to their new home. Meet chibi-Jonny Craig & chibi-Vic Fuentes!

"Hey, Jonny! What's up?"
"Ah, you know, touring and dodging screaming fangirls. You, Vic?"
"Yup, same old, same old."

I'll have better pics later when I'm slightly more awake and sure to have the camera in focus.

It's alive! Okay, not really, but it is finished. May I present to you chibi Jonny.

 

Now to finish up his buddy Vic.

I'm pretty tired so this post is short and sweet. See you on the flip side.

So, not ever day is perfect and I sometimes make mistakes. Thankfully, I caught this one little mistake before I finished the face. Can you see it?

 

The correct (second) head is on the right. I had the one on the left fully stuffed, sewn on and everything! Then I realized his chin was "skin" when he's supposed to have one of those goatee/beard sort of things going on. *Facepalm* So, off with his head and a new one was made.

He will be finished tomorrow! Until then, here is an origami rooster.

Create 365 - Day 88

The chibi boys are coming along nicely. I would have gotten farther along but the cats decided to sing us the songs of their people on and off all last night. Plus, we had company today that instigated a non-stop Gears of War marathon. A very loud and distracting one. When you're already tired it doesn't help much in the creative works, at least not for me. No bigs.

So, here is an origami dinasaur (raptor, maybe?)...

...and headless chibi bodies *buhuhahaha*. Ahem.

Nite! xx ~Static

Create 365 - Day 87

Protip: Don't ever let your sewing machine go two years between oilings. Your machine is less likely to throw an epic fit in the middle of a bunch of projects.

After getting my machine running smoothly again, I have finished another pair of teensy tiny pants and two tee shirts.

I've also finished all the machine sewing for these two. I just need to turn the heads and bodies right side out, clothe them, stuff them, and then it's all hand sewing from here on out.

Then on to the next batch! But, we'll get to them later.

Cutting, cutting and more cutting. There are piles of chibi parts everywhere!

Okay, maybe not everywhere but I do seem to have the beginnings of another small army. A platoon in my plush army of doooooom!

I may have had a little too much sugar today.

The origami diagram for the blue birds can be found here. They can be done with a triangle of paper or a square folded in half, definitely bigger paper than 3" for the latter though.

Alright, I'm off for the night. I've got lots of stitching to do tomorrow. (And, more candy to eat *buhuhahaha*!) xx ~Static

Create 365 - Day 69

It's Grumpfest up in here! Here's the Grumpy Kitten Plush I finished.

She'll be listed, along with the headbands from yesterday, as soon as I have a minute for decent photos.
Another is on it's way to completion, but not until after I finish up a made-to-order Grumpy Neko Keychain Plush Charm. See? Grumpfest!

Create 365 - Day 57

Ahh, so happy to be able to sew without a hazmat suit. My head is clear...ish. Well, as clear as it gets. I'm finally almost completely caught up on the custom work I had piled up before I got the plague. That's what I get for playing with the plague monkeys, but they're just so darn cute! Granted I was able to finish a few smaller things between sanitizing dips just not as much, or as creative, as I would have liked. Although, I must say Grumpy Kitten Plush is a cutie pie.

Right now there is a tiny naked person on my sewing table, the last of the current round of custom work, and this disturbs me a little. I better hurry up and finish their clothes. And, since I can't post the little flasher just yet here's another Grumpy Cat Keychain Charm.

 

Yeah I know, not terribly exciting but it's what people keep ordering so there it is. I also made a batch of pumpkin muffins because pumpkin muffins are friggin delicious and I needed to use up my pumpkin smush before it started growing not-tasty things.

Create 365 - Day 53

I've been working on all sorts of things today that I can't really post about like patterns and custom designs . No fair, I know. Also photo edits, listings and other things on the "boring" side of my business.

All I can give you today is a tiny peek at a couple things I'm working on simultaneously and a neat little origami dragon (follow the link to try it yourself).

I'll have to try this origami dragon again sometime. I'm not *quite* happy with the bottom jaw. Still, not an easy fold and only 3.5" long when finished. I like it.

Create 365 - Day 51 & 52

I'm back, batlings! The last few days have been... something. I'm still not 100% but definitely feeling functional, so to pick up where I left off in my 365, here is the proof:

Day 51 (Feb 28th)

Greyson Zoolander Derptastic the Third is not sure what he thinks of our newest kitty. Grumpy Kitten obviously could care less. [NFS, mine!]

Day 52 (Mar 1st)

Yes, another Grumpy Kitten Plush! This one was feeling a bit sullen and decided to have a lie-down. Still, isn't she adorable with her hand stitched face and giant kittenish ears? She is approximately 10" tall (ears to toes) with a 7" arm span.

She's already reserved but I'll be making more so keep your pantaloons on. I've got custom orders that have been waiting for me to get well enough to finish them. Those come first.

 

Not sure how people who do a continuous, unbroken 365 manage it. Life just loves to throw random monkey wrenches into the works. But, this is my 365, with my "rules", so I'm just going to keep on keeping on!

Create 365 - Day 49

Double trouble! Finally finished these two guys...

Jonny Craig chibi dolls in their dermal pierced and "tattooed" (embroidered) glory. One in a grey tee and one in a white tee so they can be told apart.

Up next, more (but different) chibis!

xx ~Static

Create 365 - Day 48

You know when you just have one of those days where you get an idea in your head, try it out and... it bombs. Yeah. Anywho, once I got that disaster out of my noggin I finish one of two chibi dolls. Yay!

Totally made up for my fail from this morning. I'll have full sized pics once the second on is done and approved.

Create 365 - Day 24

I did not get as much done as I was hoping for since I had to curl up in a dark, quiet ball due to a migraine. I did manage to finish this guy though...

...another Vic chibi clone! Man, these little dudes make me sleepy. So much work but so worth it, I think. He came out really cute (if I do say so myself).

xx ~Static

Create 365 - Day 15

I put the finishing touches on the chibi version of Vic Fuentes of Pierce the Veil! Yes, that is who I was turning into a cute, adorable, little chibi doll. The doll even has a nose ring like Vic!

[Pic updated to include the addition of awesome shag hair]

This black hearted Batling also turned up...

Sheesh, everybody's got to get their picture with chibi-Vic now? Good thing chibi-Vic is going to his new home soon. I've got critters piddling themselves and swooning all over the place. Who's gotta clean up after them? Not chibi-Vic. Hmph.

Create 365 - Day 14

The one thing I did from scratch, start to finish, today was bake chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Nom! Unfortunately, I have no pic of them because the almost 2 dozen of them have disappeared. Not into my gut! I only ate 4... or, was it 5?

So, instead, here is a pic of what I'm currently working on, the chibi doll. I also painted the ZomBunny with "blood". She's off to Canada soon and wanted a pic with her semi-complete friend. They bonded over missing parts, go figure.

Create 365 - Day 6

Hah! It's like a hawk hood!

It's not for my coconut-head, obviously. And, please ignore the blurriness. It's difficult to take photos when you are pretty much blindfolded.
The different colored dots around the edge are pins, this was taken before I pressed the edges. Hopefully once the person this is going to gets it they will take a better pic :).

Nobbes is Looking for His Buddy

Nobbes, is cousin to that awesome sidekick to that Cal kid, Hobbes. Nobbes is apx 22 inches tall not including his 10 inch tail. The perfect size to go on "imaginary" adventures with you!

His body is made of snuggly Orange and White Fleece, with a bit of Black Fleece for the ears and end of tail. His stripes, eyes and nose are made of soft, Black synthetic Felt which are **completely hand stitched** onto his body. Extreme care was taken to line up those stripes just right.

Once he's gone, he's gone, no custom requests will be taken on this plush. More info & pics here <--click link.
