Hello Bluesky!
My goal: to document myjourney in art! Right now that mostly means plush making! but I might post a drawing or two.
Hope y’all enjoy <3
Plush inspired by this “unknown artist”. Plush pattern incorporates designs from both @makeshiftwingsplush.com (body) and @nazfx.com (head)

As a rough draft I think it’s good. Heads a bit big, eyes too small, legs too short, etc etc

But I’ve been working on this for almost 6 months!!! 😭 😭 I’m so over it

This is good enough!!!!

Does anyone know why my white Minky turned pink during embroidering? And how to prevent that???

But as for the next section…

Thank you @makeshiftwingsplush.com for the puffy paws idea. apparently it is possible to hand embroider. I’m just gonna need 3 months to do it 🥲

Got tired of working on the head so we’re on to the body now! First embroidery section done! Also changed the butt section, I wonder how that will look

Version 7! Much better! New problem…. This pattern has the ears ladder stitched on. So either I need to edit this or get good at ladder stitching. lol yeah right! where are my scissors

Head version 6! It’s cute but I think the snout is too fox like
April 5, 2025 at 2:40 AM
Head version 5! This is just @nazfx.com corgi pattern slightly changed. The snout is obviously not good but I love how the fluff is incorporated!

Head version 4! Things change here. I realize this head pattern isn’t working for me.

And then he turned into a kangaroo?? 😝 ummm I’m gonna deepen the forehead dart and try again lol

He turned into a dog! 😭

if anyone needs a good dog head pattern hit me up. In the meantime I gotta figure out how to fix thissss

I just gotta think horse. Horse. One plush maker said wolf heads should be designed like horse heads. I thought she was exaggerating but I guess not 😭

This was the mock-up in my cheap Minky. See! He looks like a wolf here! But then…
March 20, 2025 at 10:44 PM
Here’s my new idea! Anybody recognize him? I have no idea what Im doing so please believe in me!

I promise this time I’ll post updates on this post! I have to make mock-ups this time so might as well!

If I was to redo him…
1. Figure out the nose situation
2. Mirror the moon (oops)
3. Re-angle the feet
4. Sew the feathers differently

What I learned
1. Luxury Minky is soooo slippery
2. Hand embroidery with gold floss is very very time consuming.

He looks a bit silly from the front but when i photoshopped a nose on he looked even sillier oh well!

The embroidery on his wings took forever! It’s actually a constellation pattern (ursa major). The wing pattern idea came when I was making the hooh dragon. It turned out pretty cool! Makes him looks angelic… or a maybe a sailor moon aesthetic lol
March 20, 2025 at 10:20 PM
Here is the initial idea! I think he turned out pretty close!
March 20, 2025 at 10:17 PM
Here he is! Dec 1-March 1, the teddy bear dragon is done! He is some weird amalgamation of teddiursa ursaring and Dragonite. I love him so much

(Initial pattern based off @makeshiftwingsplush.com)

Oh this is so cute!!! Was your design inspired by this?

Found this progress video of venasaur from a few years back! #pokemon

Pink lilies are floating on a stream, flowing from a man’s right eye, nose, mouth, dripping down his chin. He does not look like David Tennant

Concept art! Some things changed! Nail color, stripe location, wing size. The tail was going to be a literal zigzag pikachu tail at one point but I was worried about gravity warping the shape.
November 29, 2024 at 11:54 PM
Tadaa! Here he is!!! No comparison photos since he was stuffed at thanksgiving! Hope the kids love him! Thanks #makeshiftwings for the pattern!

The wings are bigger, to be more like a blanket. The tail is supposed to look like a pika tail but no good angles (I wasnt the photographer lol) #plushart

So this last project I was in rush. Not many progress pics. But I got him done by thanksgiving! Thank you fam for letting me stuff him during the get together lol
