Lil Octopi

Hi again! Just a quick post to show off some more cuties I have been working on! :)

                           Cute little octo-pussies ( and yes, I know that's incorrect spelling)!

 Usually I shy away from making octopi, because it takes so long to make the legs. But with these guys, I worked the legs into the body, all as one piece! It worked out great! I'm very pleased with the result.The green one is my favorite! :)

These safety eyes are flat, and I painted them black.

                                         Hope these little guys inspired! Until next time! :D

ps. I will have a new pattern available for sale soon....and maybe a pattern give-away! ;)

Picture Updates!

Hi all! Looking through my store, I noticed some of my pictures weren't up to par, so I decided to have a photo shoot! I re-took pictures of my anime pocket head girls, and got a good photo of pirate bear. :) My mom got this photo studio thingy for her birthday,I tried it out with her. It's pretty much a big cube, with ultra blindingly bright lights that shine inside. The pics of my plushies in it looked pretty good!

Pirate bear looking absolutely fabulous!

New pic of sunny side up....

Compared to old. It looks dark doesn't it?

New island girl

 old island girl.

 New under the sea

 and old.

I also made a new capsule pet ! His name is Vincent the bat baby! I love bats, they are one of my favorite animals! I can't stop myself from wanting to make lots and lots of them!!

cozy in his capsule home.

His wings and ears are felt, I needle felted them on. I also chained across his tummy, and let a tiny bit of fringe hang off for feet . :)

I've come up with a way to revolutionize the way I make capsule pets!! But more on that another time. ;)

For now, a moment of silence for the little mermaid Veera, who was recently sold and shipped off to her new home by the beach! (no joke!) Bye-Bye Veera! I'll miss you!




                                                   For now, I bid you all sayonara!

Ninjamals

Well Ninjamals isn't strictly their Official name.....( I'm sure I've heard that name before...Maybe because it sounds like Garanimals..?) but it sounds kinda neat! Here they are!!

                               First and foremost, there is black kitty ninja, super stealth assassin!

           I imagine he spends most of his day training so he can be stronger than all the other cats in his village.



Then there is pink bunny ninja. She's a bit ditzy, but she means well. No-one believes she is actually a ninja. Poor bunny, train a little harder!!

I made pixie bearlings best friend! Pal absolutely adores pixie, but she doesn't seem to notice... <_<

Pal the bearling

Pixie n Pal together

 Sorry was that a bit too much? lol It's so fun imagining their stories!! (even if it is a bit weird...)
All of these cuties are available in my Etsy shop!

I have a ginormous ball of pastel baby yarn... I need to use some up, but I'm not sure what to make! Any suggestions??

Yarn shown much smaller than actual size

                                             Well I better go get to work, until next time!!

                                                          Hugs and kisses! -Brea

A Tragedy + Cute New Amigurumi

I'm sorry everyone ^_^;  I would have posted sooner, but a horrible tragedy has befallen me ( ok maybe that's a little dramatic..). Bet you can't guess....I LOST MY FLASH DRIVE!!! How am I supposed to upload pictures without the use of a flash drive!! But oh well....my dad said he'd give me a new one ;) Until then however, You will just have to do with these pics I pulled off of my Etsy listings. I had wip pics and more (I was gearing up for a long post) But for now this is it.

Here is the finished blue anime doll.She is a mermaid named Veera. I made her differently than I usually make mermaids. I added the tail after making the body instead of working it in. I slip stitched into the bottom half, and worked on both sides to make the opening,then I gradually decreased and added the fin. The difference is that now she can bend at the waist! I had some wip pics of the tails workings, but I don't have them anymore... :(

I sorta got the name from the designer Veera Wang lol XD I love her shoes :)

 Also, I made some new capsule pets! Chipper the bird, and Toki the cat!As you can see, I've been putting those beads to good use. :)

 Oh did I tell you about the Etsy team? No? Well there is a team on Etsy called Just Plush, and I was made first, an admin to the facebook page, and then a leader of the etsy team!! I know It's probably a little silly to be excited about it, but it makes me happy anyway. >v<   The team is doing a pattern trade soon, and I will probably be trading one of my amigurumi patterns with another members. Then we will compare work! Sounds fun right? If you are a plush maker on Etsy, you should apply for the team! here is a link : right here!


I said goodbye to Mimi and Sweeta today, they are off to a loving new home! I also made a custom order ninja, for another wonderful customer!

Bye-bye Mimi

You too Sweeta! I'll miss you!

I am working on a new bearling right now! I'm also thinking about making a mini capsule pet ninja, that would be neat....

Commisioned Mini Doll!

 A couple days ago I got a special order for a 2 1/2" doll!It was really fun to make because I could use up some of the really fine yarn that looks pretty, but is rather impractical.

I was happy when I was told to give the doll red hair. :) I happen to love red haired dolls! ;)

I really want to give her a name!! But alas... I have no right to bestow a name upon a custom order....

the eyes look big because she's so small, they're actually about 9mm...or maybe smaller?

As it turns out, this was a doll FOR a doll! My customer said that she wanted a little toy for a small ball-jointed doll. I've seen these little dolls on the internet (blythe, pullip,dollfie...) I'd love to get one, but I guess they are for SERIOUS collectors. Which means way outta my price range lol. I'll just have to make do with creating my own :)I bet it will be adorable to see her sweet little doll holding mine X) I'm working on another one right now,I think she'll have black hair (which I also happen to love) look for some pics of her soon!

Pirate Bear!!

 Ahoy matey!! Behold! Pirate Bear! Scourge of the seven, adorable, seas!! Pirate Bear,along with his trusty crew, the bearlings, is ready for a high seas adventure! lol I copied that from my etsy listing :) The bearlings have yet to be created, but When I do make them, I will probably make the pattern free!!

Don't you love his peg leg?  ^_^

I'm pretty sure pirate bear has an arch enemy as well....hmmmm I'll have to think about that ;)
The pattern for pirate bear is available for 1.50 on ravelry here . The doll is in my Etsy store :)

I used two pieces of felt for the eye patch

Look forward to the bearling pattern soon! (or as soon as I get around to it )

Ruff The Ami Pup!

My little brother proclaims ruff to be "perfectly huggable!"

   Yay! My first free pattern! Ruff is a fairly simple doll to make,even beginners will be able to make this puppy. I made him out of worsted weight yarn, safety eyes, and a snap on nose. My little brother adopted him and is the one who named him Ruff. :)  

This is the exact pattern I used to make the original pup so there shouldn't be any problems, but if you find one, or need help with the pattern, feel free to leave me a comment  and I will help you in any way I can!
