| If I don't answer your question, it's probably because it's in this FAQ, so please read! What do you use to make the hair? So far, I mainly use felt. How do you do it? I cut a myriad of pieces of felt, and hot glue them onto the head. I have techniques to create volume; you can read the guide here: [link] Are the eyes hand painted? Yes! See my tutorial for more info. Do you make your own patterns? Indeed I do, and always have. I can't seem to follow someone else's blueprints. My pattern-making tutorial can be found here: [link] Can you post a plushie pattern? I have one here: [link] . Can you post a different plushie pattern? Sorry, but no. Patterns are a plushmaker's lineart. What material do you use for the body of the plushie? Mostly, I use lycra because it's smooth the paint on. However, I also use craft velour and bucksuede on the occasion. How can your plushies free-stand? The ones who can are generally the proportional ones. Although, the main factor is that the body parts are aligned with their center of gravity; something as small as the foot being too forward may disable them from keeping balance. How long does it take you to complete a plush? It depends. If I really work hard, I can complete 2~3 10" plushies in a day. (but that's when I'm constantly working, and the design isn't that complex) Are you open for commissions? Check my journal for updates. |
I've climbed out of my hole to shower you guys with some news. So first off:
Family business things/obligations around that time, so I had to cross out the trip. 
MERCH LIST!
Ugh...one step at a time. 
I'll be sharing all my secrets for this one-time event! I'm even bringing my binder of plushie patterns, so you guys can leaf through it to get ideas. Also, to anyone that's interested, BRING YOUR OWN DESIGNS. I'll be able to answer questions on how to tackle the project and etc. 
Mainly because I'm thinking of only taking two slots in a month...or maybe just one slot per month... Maybe I'll create a poll about it to hear some feedback. 
Anyways, more news at a later date. Right now, I gotta concentrate on my merch.
