Day 166

A sweet, smiling Sparkling Orange Halloween Neko!

 

I did skip a day of creating (not of the 365) but it was the fourth and we had company. I really could include that day here since I cooked like a mad woman (jambalaya, corn bread & a few dozen peanut butter chocochip cookies). But, I didn't take any pics and as they say on the interwebs: pics or it didn't happen. Right? ;) S'all good.

Nyan! So cute and so sparkly.

I may still give this one a ribbon and bell. I haven't totally decided yet. Can you tell I'm looking forward to Halloween? Well, I better get back to getting ready for possible company tomorrow. We might actually be hosting a holiday. There's a first time for everything, I guess. ;)

Enjoy the holiday & be safe, batlings. xx ~Static

I'm pretty much done with the latest chibi doll, just needs a finishing touch or two. I can't wait to be able to share it!

In the meantime, a nod to the little critter that tried to make the air ducts under our house it's new home, here is a very tiny origami fox.

Half way through I was thinking I should have chosen paper larger than 3" because, when finished, it turned out to be less than 1.25" long. That's what I get for jumping right in without reviewing the steps. With 40 steps (not including repeats) to get through that made for some very tiny folds. Most definitely cute though!

I'm feeling a little Halloween-y today so I stitched up an Orange Batling with sparkly Black wings and Golden Yellow glass eyes.

This one's got a bit of an underbite but it can still nibble your fingers and toes just fine! Not really. Or, could it?

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.

The answer is the cats are out to get me. No, really, they are! *Looks around nervously* Whew, they're sleeping. For now.

Since I'm awake I thought I'd show you a couple things from my perspective. First thing in the morning...

That cup is full of delicious manna (coffee). Notice how nothing can be focused on until that nectar of the gods has been consumed? Powerful stuff. The tilt of the photo is due to my face being strongly attracted to the table top. The attractions wears off after awhile so no cause for alarm.

After a few sips of manna I was able to take a few more snaps. Here's the amazingly bright turquoise fabric I mentioned on FB along with some combos I'm probably going to go with for headbands (top matching to bottom).

You like?

And, last but not least, a pulled back view of what my kitchen table looks like when no one can hear me scream...

See that? Poor Hobbes won't even look.

Well, I'm off for more manna and then hopefully I'll work on my Tiger Buddy there for a bit -- I can only work on him a little at time for fear of hand cramps-- and then stitch up those headbands as a breather from His Stripeyness.

The awesome artist/writer lurking behind the e-shop Somnambulant and the Oh Honestly, Erin blog asked if I could make her a Jonny Craig chibi doll.

Now, if you're a reader of Oh Honestly, Erin you know how much her babydaddy, Henry, loathes all mention of Jonny Craig. Who would pass up a chance to help further the annoyance of Henry and create a plush of the soulless ginger crooner? Not I, challenge accepted!

So it begins...

  
Oooh, he's nekkid! Good thing he's a smoothie. The doll, not the person. Well, I don't personally know about the person so let's just roll with the assumption that he does in fact have genitals. Moving on!

Finally got some pants on the guy!

The face has a dermal implant under one eye -- I literally made a dermal for the doll out of a flathead straight pin which announced it disapproval of being bent all to hell by stabbing me repeatedly until I wizened up enough to cut the pointy part off. Genius, I tell ya.
There's a teardrop and heart (embroidered) tattoo under the other eye. To give you an idea of scale, the teardrop is just under a 1/4" in height. Tiny!

And, finally, what you've been waiting for with bated breath...

The finished chibi Jonny Craig doll! (You thought I was going to make you wait, didn't you?) He's happy to finally have his clothes on and head attached. Now he's just chillin' waiting for his lady to take him home.

You know when you buy things for yourself but then months later realize I'm never going to get around to using that (because your "to do" is a mile long most likely) but it's so awesome? Yeah, I used to do that a LOT and still do occasionally. But, thankfully, I have a cute little Supply & Destash shop over on Etsy to share it all with you! I also have a few supplies I try to list as often as I find them because, well, they're that damn cool. For example, EYEBALL BEADS:

The center Bloodshot beauties are nice heavy Glass Lampwork. The Eyeball Beads surrounding that are all light weight Acrylic. So dive right into the sea of eyes and take your pick!

I only have a small amount of the Eyeball Beads in stock but if all goes well they'll be back in the shop as often as possible!

Astaire likes to smile. A lot. And, stare... and stare and stare and stare until it's enemies fall hopelessly into those neon pink eyes and onto that wicked carrot blade. So, obviously, it's best to be friends with this cute little black bunny. Take Astaire home and give lots of love that way you'll always have someone watching your back.

♦ Astaire is approx 9.5" (24.13cm) tall from head to toe, not including those big adorable ears!

Astaire comes with the hand cut, sewn & painted carrot knife at his feet and can be found in my main shop, SWStitchery.
