SPRING GREEN

Can't help but love this fabric. Had a bit of scrap left to make this little clutch for a friends birthday.

CHECK OUT MY PECS

So I started doing sketches of the next series of plush I wanted to do. I like to do things in groups. However this sometimes leads to boredom and I move on. Perfect example are the devils I started and only finished three. You can see those at my website. Anyway, I have this weird fascination with all things sideshow circus. I like creepy odd stuff. The creepier the better. This tends to throw people off when they meet me. I'm a pretty quiet person who you wouldn't expect to have this side. For the longest time I said I was going to do a series of plush based on characters and oddities from the sideshow. So I decided to start with the Strong Man. I'll keep you posted on what other freaks I intend to do.

FANCY NEW BLOG

I'm attempting to do this blog thing one more time. Last time I found it hard to keep going along with all the other stuff I try to cram into a day. But I'm going to make a real effort this time. What do I have to say you ask? Well I just thought this would be a great way to communicate my creativity and share my work with other people. There are so many talented crafters and plush artists out there and this is a great way to share work with each other. I thought from time to time I'd post what I'm working on, whether it's a new plushy, an illustration, great research, other cool people, or any other project I decide to attempt. I've compiled a list of links here of all people I admire and other cool websites I like. I'm in aw of the amount of work these people produce!!
