Oh, dat delicious!

Cookie Monster's nomming noises remixed in Success'n'Mistreet by Luna C + S3RL make me happy, not to mention The Count laughing too. Aside from all the Disney albums I downloaded I've been listening to a bunch of DJ S3RL tracks after my cousin had played his Neon Genesis remix when we stayed at her NoHo school dwelling. Speaking of my cousin, whom my sister and I have nicknamed Kimmychu because of her obsession with Pikachu, she's the one who has brought me to make Pokemon hair clips.


Not finished, but already hideously cute...


I'm making Pikachu for her, but the only one finished, as anyone who has me added on Facebook knows, is Haunter. I'm resorting to using felt for Pikachu's brown markings because aside from acrylic paint it's the best thing I have. I have black fabric paint for the ear markings. I keep wanting to add glow in the dark fabric paint only because she's an avid raver (also nearly deaf because of it), but have yet to think of a good way to add it onto Pikachu without it looking like I threw it on there just because I can. I made a Cyndaquil pattern (for my sister since her Pokesona is a Cyndaquil) as well, but I lack the appropriate colors of fleece. It will give me a chance to make a Squirtle pattern to accompany her Cyndaquil when I can head into LA for more fleece shopping.

My Haunter clip seen here being modeled by myself. I added glow in the dark fabric paint around his eyes and am debating if I should cover his eyes completely in it as well since it dries almost clear. Poor Haunter was my guinea pig and I actually ended up sewing him together twice. He's a little frayed because of that, but I love him dearly and wear him for comfort when I get home because my Creeper is really starting to get to me. He's glued to a giant version of those hair clips that you simply bend open and closed. Shiny Mew will be his companion after Pikachu is done. C: The regular colored Mew I'm actually making just because I can. I've actually been considering making a bunch of these with and without the clips just to sell for money in something like Etsy, but I doubt anyone would buy any.

I need to add this because of how I ended the last post...




The first Ariel (I'm guessing it's for an Under The Sea area of the ride) I actually think is awkward looking and unless they have fish constantly swimming around her hair they should have done her hair like the second Ariel animatronic, but I'm hoping she'll look much better IN the ride. :P

Guess what?! :D

Nope...it isn't chicken butt. I finished Kirby!!!
 

*kermit flail*

Kirby Plush Complete


Isn't he cute? He's as huggable as he looks.

He even has a tag which according to Captain (my sister) makes him "legit". :P


Kirby's Tag


His tag is thanks to Miss Label. They are very affordable and quick to respond. I got them faster than I thought as well. It's located on his left "butt" cheek.

One more photo with me so you can get an idea of just how big he is. Sorry about all my ugly, hopefully Kirby's cuteness can overpower me.


Me and Kirby


I used Seremere's Kirby Plush Tutorial, but well...it should be rather obvious I didn't follow it completely. Especially in materials. He's aaaalll fleece...and a looooooooooooot of thread and stuffing. I also took a lot of liberties while putting him together. Making Kirby was certainly a learning process and if you look at him closely enough you can see which part I sewed first. It's part of his flaws, but I guess I'll just say it makes him unique. When I do things that have a tutorial I never seem to be able to duplicate the results. I just hope the person I'm giving him to loves him. Problem is her favorite is really Meta Knight, but I am NOT going to drive myself crazy trying to make him when my next project already looks like a puzzle from hell. It's also my first attempt to make something without a pattern or tutorial, but dammit I'm going to do it if it kills me...which it just might. D: I will admit that making these feels a bit therapeutic for me. It's nice to watch things on my laptop and lovingly sew together each piece by hand and somehow they come together to make things like Nny and Kirby.
