I’m currently making two plush dolls for a special project, so I thought I’d share some in progress pics and talk about making them. :)

***PIC #1***

First I start out with a rough sketch of what I want to make. I already have an idea of what their personalities are like, and I try to bring that out in their expression, outfit, and overall look. My creative process is always evolving, and new decisions are made at every step that I could never have forseen with the initial sketch (later on you can see that I scrapped the dresses, and swapped the mouths).

Everything is messy. But we're working on it!! Colors are happening!

And curtains that I paid too much for at West Elm only to discover they're pretty low quality.

Library (South) Courtyard. Originally open in the summer and accessible via the Core Collection. Is now part of the Library Cafe.

 

today's book binding workshop was awesome! here's my ripped down paper waiting to be folded into folios and nested into signatures.

 

in the corner you can see some of the embellishments i was thinking of using. however, considering the tonal range the book has taken on, i think i will be using different charms.

serpentine beads and a new pair of earrings

some new sterling silver earwires on the go

groovy glass hoop beads - pondering what to make!

lots and lots of panels for the arms and collar

the ribbons had been previously Liquid-Stitched on one side to stay in place, while I poked the studs in by hand through the sateen. Holding the ribbons + stud in place with one hand, I flipped the fabric over and bent the stud prongs in with pliers. Then the ribbon intersection was slightly readjusted,and I moved on to the next one.

Ink or color pencils... think I'm going to attempt ink... comments??

Started this like...before I lived with Saeru. That's like almost 2 years? (Not like I don't have even older projects than that. XD ) Anyway, here's a shot of the interesting bit, and what the fabric looked like pre-painting, but post-quilting.

This would have been a lot quicker to have actually just made this out of black foam to begin with. XP

One side painted, one side in "natural" state. Pivots/posable.

 

Never mind who they're going to be for...

For now... ^_-

 

Also, ignore the boobs. They have nothing to do with this, really.

The small pocket watch, in pieces. How cool is this!

A toile for lingerie course

fitting some of the front panels together

It's summer here but I am in full knitting mode. This is a cushion that I have been meaning to make for ages.

 

Here it is being sewn to the denim backing.

 

It's in my etsy shop....

starting making the wheels...they have really silly treads actually

Using my favourite font book as reference.

 

Making them for 'Seven', Ayden Gallery's newest show: emilybee.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/art-show-seven-ayden-ga...

working on migrating some of my painting/collage sketches into print world... also playing with linocuts for the first time in ages, inspired by another artist I know who has been doing a lot of them of late. So far, I am loving the simplification and additional texture these new prints have. This is turning into an interesting experiment.

They're all sewn up, now I'm deciding colours for noses, eyelids and dots. :)

at least my stitching's getting better :)

 

from the Iron-on Kitten transfers I got recently...

I'm managing to make some really accurately shaped (to the toy) pseudo-spikes. Kinda wasn't expecting foamies to work for this, actually.

Not too long in the light, she remains vigilant against the perils

she has left behind...
