Does livejournal count?
I mostly just post my various art and sewing projects these days, but I do blog. 🙂
Heh.
I agree that he’s an idiot. There’s no excuse for letting children go out on their own in that kind of cold, I don’t care who was supposed to meet them.
But I also agree that he’s probably suffering plenty from the consequences of his idiocy.
He he he. 😀 Most Loonakits I can make a second one if somebody buys the first, in any case. I do still have a little bit of Chinchilla fur about.
Well, I figured it can’t hurt to try. 🙂
What I’m after:
An emerald peacock fledgling
A red flame fledgling
Any poad except butternut and black.What I have to offer:
Loonakit critters
Custom plushes
Fuzzy pillows
Costume tailsI would be willing to trade up to four loonakits, any one custom plush, one large pillow or two small, or three tails for anything on my want list.
I’m also after a Secret Keeper (who isn’t?) and while I know the odds are probably a million to one of anybody being interested, I would do a full body mascot-style costume in exchange for one. 🙂 I normally charge $1,300 for those, so I consider it a pretty fair exchange.
O. M. G.
I just got back from a Pink Floyd tribute band concert, and I am SO happy! I cannot convey how happy I am.
You see, there is a certain song. It is “our” song, my boyfriend and I. It’s by Pink Floyd, but it is obscure, and also long, and also weird and very difficult to perform. (The song in question is “Echoes” if you want to know.) Because of being obscure, long, and weird I never thought I’d hear it live. Never! But tonight I did. I got to actually see the freakish guitar effects done in person. OMG! When I heard the intro start I was all “That sounds like Echoes, but it can’t possibly be Echoes, there’s no way they’d perform that!” But they did. My boyfriend and I were, I think, the only people in the theater singing along. But I hope they perform it again! I am so thrilled! Tonight could not have been better!
(Well, okay if I’d won the raffle it could have been better, but not really by that much!)
I just had to share. Wheee!
Happy New Year!
Anybody have any fun plans? My boyfriend and I are going to a midnight concert. The Floydian Slips, a local Pink Floyd tribute band. They’re really good, we went last year too.
I forgot the swatch pillows! Ooops.
These were made with leftover scraps and sample swatches from Tissavel/Premium furs. They’re my favorite fur fabrics, because they’re unbelievably soft. They feel like real animal fur, it’s really amazing. (Seriously. If you’ve ever petted a chinchilla? Their chinchilla fur feels like that!) They’re softer and more awesome than any other fabric I use. They also cost around $160 a yard. Yikes! Which is why I don’t use them more, and also why I save every teeny tiny scrap from them, and why I actually use old swatches instead of throwing them away.
I sleep sometimes with the big one on the left there. It’s roughly the size of a normal bed pillow, to give you some idea of the scale here.
I’ve been thinking of taking commissions for these, but the problem is that even the swatches aren’t cheap, let alone the solid fabric! (Costs about $25 for a swatch set that will make one large pillow.) I back them in cheaper, if still nice, fur, but that plus the time it takes to sew together all those tiny swatches means I’d have to charge something like $120 for the biggest ones. Which is a little steep for a pillow, even if it’s a pillow the feels like heaven when you touch it.
Someday when I have money I’m going to buy a whole yard of my favorite Tissavel fur, and just roll around on it! 😀
I have just one squeak. (One at a time!)
Silver fledglings. Specifically, silver fledglings in large numbers.
I want one ever so much, but even the price for a regular production fledgling is more than I really have to spend. I’d spend it anyhow for a silver one, I’ve wanted one for ages, but if there are just a handful that go on ebay and then no more are made, I would cry.
Just so you know. You wouldn’t want to make me cry, would you Melody? 😀
The scary thing is this isn’t even close to everything I’ve done in the last few months. 🙂 I just don’t take pictures of all of it.
Here’s how that head came out:
Here’s a few things I’ve done since then:
(Sorry about the imagedump.)
Whew! I’ve been busy!
That’s a loonakit! I have a whole gallery full of them here: http://www.sparkcostumes.com/gallery/index.php?cat=18
I make custom ones for people, and sell premade ones sometimes too. 🙂 They run around $25, though I can do ones as cheap as $15.
