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
The fun illusion of Gerrymandering, the electoral college, stricter mail-in ballot restrictions, and elons voting machines?

No, I blame the Republican Party, who knew exactly what he was capable of and nominated him again anyways. Split the Republican vote and the dems would have won.

He’s going to a school! I’m sure some 7 year old boy will think he’s cool 😭 😭 😭 (not me tho get him out of here!!!!)

Plush inspired by this “unknown artist”. Plush pattern incorporates designs from both @makeshiftwingsplush.com (body) and @nazfx.com (head)

Thank you! What is a color catcher? Is that a tool or a cleaner liquid or something else?

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.

Maybe? It was leftovers from the first plush I ever made, but it’s really really hard to sew with since it’s fluffy on both sides. I received advice before to only pattern with same Minky type— I just didn’t realize how significant the difference would be 😵‍💫 especially on faces.

I’ll look into it 💚

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…

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!
