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....

Another Mini Capsule Pet Amigurumi: Isabel The Octopus!

A new Mini Capsule Pet: Isabel the purple octopus!! I even had a purple capsule to put her in :)
This is my first project using the glass beads I told you about. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and hope to use a lot more of these beads on dolls in the future! (after all I have, like, a billion of them)

 Sometimes it's kind of frustrating crocheting so many tiny parts, but it's worth it in the end! However, I always seem to have to shove in the last leg among the seven. I need to learn to space them more evenly!

I  needle-felted Isabel's mouth

 Here is something different. I have only ever posted one of my drawings on my blog, but I want to start posting more! This is a little girl I drew in 2010, and only recently came across in my shelf. She was inspired by Mei from My Neighbor Totoro (one of my favorite Studio Ghibli films). This was the first drawing I inked using a calligraphy dip pen.

Mini Owly And More!!

Aaah I'm back again! :) The other day my grandma took me out shopping, we went to Hobby Lobby and got some awesome beads!!

The ones on the left are glass beads.

Don't these ones look like cat's eyes?! I made grandma a kitty keychain to say thank you, sadly I forgot to take pics before I sent it off. :( 

 And I got new shoes!!! Yaaay! I LOVE shoes X) And these ones are just my type! In fact, they look a lot like another pair I have, only that pair is old and falling apart. ( I still wear them though lol )

I <3 Wedges :)

Aaah but too the point! I said I was going to make some amigurumi to put into those capsules, remember?
Well I did :) Another owl baby! ( Sorry I'm obsessed with owls lately XD )

His name is Howard. Cute huh? He's only about an inch tall, and fits perfectly in his little capsule :D
He's available for adoption in my Etsy store.

I started another capsule critter, a purple octopus. Should have pics soon :) Until then!

If At First You Don't Succeed......

Ok, I messed up........Remember the tiny doll from a few posts back? The little red haired girl? Well I made her a bit to big for my customers doll....Observe:

The picture is kinda funny though... X)

Needless to say, I had to make another one .....

Had a bit of trouble on the hair... I worked on it for about an hour!

It was my first time ever really working with thread, It was kind of fun.

I had just bought a pack of tiny black and white buttons, they were just about right for her eyes.

The customer loved the new one!

So I guess, all's well that ends well :)

The new doll was just the right size!....Phew....

Super Duper Teeny Tiny Itty Bitty Needle Felted Hamster!

 This was a super fun and easy project! (I love needle felting...<3) :D One of the little toy capsules that I mentioned became a running ball! X) It's fun to make things so tiny! This could be a hamster for a barbie, or a bjd! Or just a tiny sweet buddy.....He's in my ETSY.


 

The picture was a bit blurry, so It looked like he was running!
