Showing off things I’ve made
I’m having entirely too much fun playing mix-and-match with the pieces of Choly Knight’s chibi doll series. I used a random character generator to build a party of first-level D&D characters, mostly randomly. I wanted one of each of the 4e roles, I wanted four different species (and no dwarves or halflings yet), but otherwise […]
In the past, my beanie/kuttari dragons reflected the usual style of ITH plushies, and had the head sewn directly to the body. I’ve actually made a couple of longer-necked beanie dragons in the past, though not the Pernese style – and at the smaller size, they were much stiffer than this one and I wasn’t […]
I’ve been a little radio-silent for the last week for a couple reasons, and this is one of them. I have wanted to make one of Choly Knight’s anthro dragons for some time, and I decided to make one for my husband for Father’s Day. And so I did. It needs some better photography; the […]
I promised I was going to start working on larger dragons (and other things) and indeed I have. One of the Mystery Bundles has arrived at its destination so I can reveal at least one of its contents: a Choly Knight neck dragon with in a Pernese style. It has wired wings and body, and […]
As per usual, I spent some time distracted by brightly-colored objects. Result: snap tabs that hold interchangeable shoe charms (Jibbitz being the official version, which these are not). I may noodle around with bracelet versions before Freebie Friday, but a single adult-sized one barely fits (on the diagonal) in a 5×7 hoop so I’m not […]
The largest dragon I usually make is four or five inches tall (that’s the Cherry/Raspberry Sno-Cone in 4″, who also makes a pretty good trans pride flag dragon for June). That’s as big as will fit in my embroidery machine; while I do have a lot of experience with conventional sewing, I kind of hate […]
It’s another shop-drop week and I currently have one (1) dragon finished. I have not been not-busy, I’ve just gone down a couple of rabbit trails – the Oreo, revamping the Pernese dragon fobs, stitching out some more Love Bug Trumps Hate fobs, finally making a test shoulder dragon (sometimes first drafts look like sweet […]
I had someone ask how well mochi took embroidery and had to admit that I had only done the dragon wings. Now I can say with more authority: it works fine. I had bought a whole bunch of flesh tones and decided I ought to actually sew some human-ish dolls. This is “Light Orange”, which […]
One of the to-do’s in my daily Taskwarrior is “Finish a project, no matter how tiny,” and that one has kind of been honored in the breach lately. At least I haven’t ordered a bunch of fabric, JoAnn boxes notwithstanding. (That’s from two yards of glow Sew Lush for a throw for a niece, if […]
This one’s not going to be a quarter holder, but it’s going to hold something else quarter-sized. Files for it next Monday (or buy me a ko-fi and I’ll share my working files with you early).
