Zombie Hand -UPDATE-

Should update the progress on the zombie hand pillow plush thing I've been working on. 

Good news is I really like how the zombie bite and other embroidered details look, the fingernails as well. Bad news is that I hate how the shape of the hand is, that is one horrible, twisted, not normal human hand. Thus I shall be either keeping this one or make something else with it, and I'll be making up another pattern where the hand actually looks right. Or more or less more right, it's still going to be cartoony. 

So this prototype has taught me a lot, especially things I need to change when I sew it together. And hopefully I'll be able to plan and make the new one soon. It will also come in two colors, green (as you see) and pink!

Guttling Cards -Prototype 1-


I saw a post on pinterest about business cards that have an image stamped on them. So I've decided to give it a try. I made a linoleum carving in Printmaking of this little guy, he's a fall Guttling. I really liked how he came out, so I decided he was going to be the first one I experimented stamping my business cards with.

Right now these are prototypes, but I'll be adding them to the future purchases I get. 

I'm going to keep experimenting with different papers, this one has a texture on it so it seems the ink didn't catch quite right. But it could also be the ink itself. More prototypes incoming!

My first try at an OOAK doll. I had this little guy as an idea a while ago, and I've been working on him on and off, but I just finished him a day ago. So this is the first time I've made anything like this, I see a ton of mistakes but I think it was alright for my first try. 

I'll be fixing my pattern and then making more to sell~
I've got a ton of ideas for a bunch of different Guttlings. So it's quite exciting bringing them to life.

This little guy is made of fleece, cotton fabric, felt, and polymer clay pieces. Everything was handmade by me.

Guttling Species Information:
Guttlings are very hungry creatures. They observe humans from a distance and would stay away from them if it weren't for all that delicious food they seem to carry all the time. They are on a mission to get as much of that delicious food as they possibly can. They plan out ways to get it, and if it seems to work they keep doing it. 

What Guttlings don't know though, is that humans find them quite adorable and their plans amusing. Thus Guttlings usually get the food from humans without having to do what they planned out. But this makes the Guttlings think that their plan worked, so they keep making plans anyway.

If food disappears when you've set down to eat, it was probably a Guttling hiding somewhere who swiped it. You can always tell which Guttling is responsible by looking at their stomach.

All Guttlings have horns, and their stomachs are visible. Their feet are chicken-like and they have cone-like nails.

(This species is my original creation.)

Octopus Progress

Ah my beautiful little octopus'. They wouldn't even have been created if it weren't for Big Mambo.

The painted octopus was my first prototype. I like how it came out and wanted to make an updated version. The second octopus is still in early stages, but you can already see that I added something completely new. My father told me that I should add the suckers and I agreed with him.

I love how his tentacles came out, although they got smooshed at the bottom (is that even a word?). It's because the overall weight and the fact that the clay gets soft when baked. So I know I'm going to have to change the way I bake it. I already have it all planned out for the next one, and that one might put up for sale.

The reason my second prototype isn't painted yet is because I'm procrastinating. How terrible of me. :I  

I'm thinking of making more of these and selling them on my shop. I might sell them unpainted, so that way you guys can paint them however you want and truly have a unique octopus!

I've also got a special surprise item which stemmed from these guys, which I'm thinking of selling.
