Totoro!

Made this cute little Totoro for my fiance awhile back, just didn't post anything before he saw it as I wanted it to be a surprise. ^_^

I used the pattern by Emze Knits and switched it a little bit by adding Totoro's giant smile. Totoro's smile is one of my favorite features about him, so I decided he MUST have it and rearranged his face. 

He also has a voice box inside that I made a pocket for. The voice box can be removed if one would rather just have a soft creature. 

He was lots of fun to make and it was even more fun giving it to my fiance after having to wait awhile to see him!

  Enjoy the photos!

 Very pleased with how he turned out. ^_^

Happy dancing Totoro!

In Pieces....

Pulled apart Satomi again. She's been in dire need of a new paint job.

Left side of the photo has the pieces that still need cleaned and the

right side has the pieces I worked on cleaning today. :)

I'll be working on taking off all the old paint for awhile. Then I'll get to work on 

repainting her again. I don't plan on doing a full body blush this time as it wore 

off quickly on her joints last time. I'll be giving her mid body a blush job, repaint 

her face, and give her back her arm tattoo, as well as adding a few new ones. ^_^

 She is also going to be restrung. Her old elastic is worn and not as stretchy as it
once was. So I'll be finding somewhere to order some new strung to fix her up. I'd
also like to try and find some silicone sheets to try sueding her that way. I've
didn't like how quickly the hot glue sueding wore off and the moleskin sueding is
a mess to clean off after it wears out. So, I'm excited about working on my girl
 and getting her all freshly put together!                                                               

The Bluest Blue Ever....

 "Big and little at the same time. 

Brand new and ancient. 

And the bluest blue ever" ~ The Doctor

 So...  my wonderful boyfriend sent me the most spectacular bouquet of flowers ever. 

TARDIS blue roses, they are the most beautiful roses I've ever seen and I had to share them!

Wild Haired Men and Weeping Angels.......

     It's been awhile since I posted anything here. So I thought I'd take a couple of photos of my current projects I'm working on. ^_^

 This guy is a project I started for my brother a couple of years ago. Things got in the way and I am finally getting back to working on him. He wanted a manly doll, thus the wild hair and goatee!

 The start of pants that I'm working on for him. My brother wanted skinny pants, so I'm working on a pattern. He will also have a sleeveless shirt, jacket, ball cap hat, and a pair of shoes when he's done. :)

The beginnings of a weeping angel for my sister. So far all that's done with her is gluing her hair in place, still have a lot to work on!

Artsy Flowers.....

     So today I was looking at the flowers sitting on my desk and thought they were picturesque. So these are the result of my having a bit of fun with it. Enjoy!

 Love how the water is reflecting the desk here!

I really liked that the light shown through the vase in these last two. ^_^

Princess Doll

So this is a doll I made for my first customer! She wanted a princess doll for her little girl and this is what I came up with. :) Enjoy the photos!

Because I'm selling this one, I had to make a tag giving credit to the designer of the body pattern. And I added myself as the designer of the hair and clothing!

Satomi's Photo Shoot in Flowers

Got some flowers from a friend today and decided to take a little photo shoot. :)
