Plush Commission Info - Felties
Felties
Made of felt (primarily) as the name implies, Felties are small, simple to make, and less expensive than my normal plush, perfect for someone on a budget, wanting a small gift for someone, or even someone that might want a lot of plushies but that doesn't have the money to spend on the bigger or more intricate kind.
Felties are made in a "two-and-a-half dimension" style, meaning that they will have a front and a back and aren't meant to be viewed from the sides. Some will have a right side and a left side, but aren't meant to be viewed from the front or back. This all depends on the design of the plush.
I make two kinds of felt plushies: animal-form or human-form.
Size: 4" tall or wide
Price: starts at $10
Estimated make time: 1-2 days
While the price generally stays around $10, designs that are simpler will be a little less, while more intricate designs, if they are possible in the style of the plush, will be a tad bit more expensive. I can make just about any Pokémon or animal, though some may be difficult in the relatively simplistic style of the plush.

Size: 6 inches tall
Price: Starts at $20
Estimated make time: 1 week
Humanoid felties are exactly like the other felties, except a little bigger and, well, human or humanoid characters. Because there are generally more details for a humanoid feltie, including hair, facial features and clothing, humanoid felties are more expensive. However, like with all of my plush, simpler designs are cheaper, more detailed ones are more expensive. The pictured Britannia Angel feltie, for example, would probably be around $15 due to the relative simplicity of the design. As with the other felties, I can attach string to the top or the back so that the plush can hang.

Cosplays of 2012 - Kamen Rider Fourze-tan
Originally, I made this costume for Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011, and wore it. I was a hit there, but I wasn't quite satisfied with the costume - it was a rush job. I fixed up parts of it and wore it again at Momocon 2012...but still wasn't satisfied with it. Finally I decided to change things up with a different wig, better boots and a different style for the arms and legs and now I am finally satisfied with the costume!
This was really just another excuse to wear the black wig, but I think it works much, much better for the costume than the white wig did.
Cosplays of 2012 - Gym Leader Erika (Pokémon)
Originally worn at Momocon in March, this kimono was handmade, hand-dyed to the beautiful (if a bit inaccurate) golden yellow base color, and all of the leaves, orange patterns and Pokéballs were painstakingly hand-painted onto the kimono. The obi and headband were similarly painted. In closeup shots, the white hearts on the headband and obi are barely visible.
The wig for this costume is also my favorite cosplay accessory. Just, ever.
Cosplays of 2012 - Chimecho (Pokémon)
Worn at Momocon 2012 back in March, Chimecho was a nice, simple costume with an elegant design. I didn't get recognized in-costume, but I got a lot of compliments on the kimono, so that worked out well enough.
Archive Posts - Plushies of 2011
2011 wasn't a very productive year for me, plush wise. I spent a lot of it making more generic "cute" plush - fried shrimp, sushi, rice balls, the works. I also started a new, full-time job, robbing me of a lot of spare time to make plush in. What few plush I made include:
Hungary from Axis Powers Hetalia - almost entirely fleece, with some felt (the gloves, boots and facial features, most notably). I think this is my best UFO style plush to date.
I wish I had a good enough camera to capture it on film - this Spiritomb glows in the dark. I painted all of the green and yellow spots with watered-down glow in the dark paint! It also has plastic beans in the "rock" part so that it can sit on almost any surface.
Hands down my favorite, and my most successful plush to date - my "fuzzy Joltiks". They are life-sized at around 8 inches long, and are made almost entirely out of fur, with fleece "feet" and hand-painted stone and glass beads for eyes. I've made seven of them, and sold all but one - the short-haired one, which was a gift for a friend.

Archive Posts - Cosplay of 2011
2011 was an interesting year. I went to ten conventions total throughout the year, but only cosplayed at about five of them, and only made new costumes for four of them. I ended up repairing, updating and re-wearing many old costumes, including Tao Jun, Touko, Sabrina and Twilight Suzuka. In total I had six completely new costumes, including:
Platinum/Dawn/Hikari from Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, in her Platinum outfit. This I wore to Katsucon specifically because I wanted a costume I could wear in the snow. And...there wasn't snow. Well, there was a large pile of snow, but that was about it.
