Mottlebird’s text at Larchpath’s vigil was that he’d never do this. Then he confessed to a child about it…

Lichenjaw, we need to have a talk..

At 24 moons old Lichenjaw had 12 kids. He brought the two younger litters to camp within a moon of each other.

I watched a wee kids' cartoon called Vegesaurs which is about... dinosaur/vegetable (and fruit) hybrids, and I made up my own species called a Berryopteryx! A blueberry/archaeopteryx.

Then I made a tiny little plushie of it. I only had scraps of blue left so I just made it super tiny.

I have a quick sloppy series called Drawing My Etsy Plushies For Sale on my tiktok. I'll be trying to do a few more sketches of some plushies looking for homes

I DO obsessively read peoples tags when they rb my art

And, yes, I DO kick my little feets and giggle when I get compliments

My cat is starting to be more independent after her mass removal surgery so I can take some time to create again. I doodled this simple little piggy a day or two ago and am ready to create him

I made my favorite mongoose dog a plushie

I finished him a week ago and he took a week to make. It’s my first time making a 3d plushie without a pattern so I’m glad it turned out great. The pattern for a little doggy suit GIR will come soon. I haven’t fully transferred the twimblo crochet pattern yet but it doesn’t need any revisions and it’s the pattern I made for my Oddity plushie. I just wanted to say I hadn’t forgotten about it and it’s coming before the GIR sewing pattern.

It’s only two weeks… it’s only two weeks…

How I made my own vintage Pomni!

Based on this tutorial, with my own modifications and sewing pattern!

Let's begin!

Here's a total list of the things I used here.

Shiny fabric: blue and red

Acrylic paint. Colors: White,red,blue,black

Gold ribbon

White sculpey clay

Tin foil

Mod podge (for sealing the paint)

Jingle bells

Dark brown yarn

Glue

And depending on how you want to handle crafting the body you can either follow the original tutorial and make one out of any fabric you'd like, filling it with plastic beans and stuffing,

Or you can do what I did and cheat a little! I actually used the body of a beanie baby to save time. You'll find tons of these guys at the thrift store, usually for about a dollar each. The one I used for Pomni looked like this.

All I did was carefully undo the stitching on the bear's head and set Pomni's clay head in the opening!

Now for the steps! The first thing I did was gather my materials and make a concept sketch.

Then since I already had a body for Pomni, I rolled a ball of tin foil slightly smaller than I wanted the head to be, and covered it in sculpey clay. Then I molded the face into a nice cute shape! Don't worry if the back of the head is lumpy, you won't see it under the hat and hair.

Make sure to add a neck that tapers outwards at the bottom so the head stays in the neck hole of the plush body!

After baking the clay, I painted the head white and sketched out the face lightly with pencil before painting on the details. I even added a little bit of glitter to her eyes! Then when I was satisfied with the face, I sealed the paint with mod podge. It added a nice shine to her face which adds to the porcelain look!

I'd bought a clown doll at a thrift store with a similar outfit to the one I wanted to make for Pomni, which I reverse engineered to make my own pattern! Here's In-progress Pomni wearing the other doll's outfit.

I cut out these patterns to use for the outfit.

After cutting out the pants they should look like this when put together and folded. Turn them inside out and sew them together at the middle, including the crotch. Leave the top and the pant legs open.

The sleeves should look like this cut out and folded. Make sure they're inside out just like the pants, and sew these at the sleeve openings at the top. Remember to leave the neck hole open!

Here's where we add the ribbon at the ends! Fold up the base of the pant legs and sleeves to hem the ends, and scrunch up the gold ribbon to sew around the borders while you're hemming them. It'll scrunch the ends a little bit, giving the outfit that poofy look.

Then turn it inside out!

I sewed the bells on and put the outfit on pomni! Then I simply cut another piece of ribbon and made a little ruffle for her neck. It's not sewed to the outfit just so it's easier to take on and off.

For Pomni's hair I got the yarn and combed it out with a fine tooth comb until the texture became softer, and then used a flat iron on it (VERY briefly. just for a second!!!!) to straighten it out. For more tips on this look up yarn doll hair tutorials on youtube! Then I just glued it to her lil head and styled it like so.

I don't have any progress pics for the hat but it was pretty simple. Just cut out the shapes and sew them up!

Then add the hem with a ribbon folded in half, and the bells!

TADAA! A baby pompom for you!

I wish you luck finding one! I can keep an eye out for you too if you like!

I can’t understate how badly I want this plush. It is so simple and small yet ultimately everything I want in a tortie cat plush. In my opinion this is the best way to handle tortoiseshell fur for plush.

I’ve searched a few times but it’s never available, it’s a San-ei Neko Dango. This brand has also done other coat patterns and breeds rarely plushed

She has caused so much chaos and must be contained for her crimes ( and her own safety)

The two masses excised are on her back and on her shoulder.

Kiddo is at the vet now awaiting surgery

Debated posting this guy for a bit now. He's a project I've wanted to work on for awhile, I've gotten as far as prototyping the head. Anyway yeah he's an Inch x Magic beanie baby blend with a little Worm on a String thrown in. I'll make him... eventually

after being mutuals for a certain time tumblr should give you a coupon for a free trip to hang out with them

I don't know who needs to hear this, but

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!
