 Time for a feature of my favorite artwork I've found recently!

Baby Cakes! With babies on top!  By Scrumptiousdelight, who is having a solo show tonight @ Schmancy!  More info here: http://plushyou.blogspot.com/2010/08/scrumptious-delight-art-show-schmancy.html

Matching plush & people!  I love this so so much.  By Cat Rabbit!

Jo Jo the Dog Boy by Patt Kelley.  Made with real human hair donated by his wife, haha!

Nature Boy by Thienbao.  Such a gorrrgeeeoouuss piece.  It's currently the background on my computer. :)

These are ridiculously adorable!  Sprout Tops by Mel Sung.

& I wanted to end this with an amaaaaazing digital painting someone did of me.  John Grello, you are the best! :D


New work & shop updates

Posted by: LOVEANDASANDWICH

Made these three monster ice cream fellahs to submit to STUFFED magazine!  For those of you who do make plush that read this, the deadline for the next issue is coming up!  August 23rd! More info here: http://www.stampington.com/html/wanna_get_published.html
It's a sweet magazine & I hope I can get in again!
I'm also putting them up as made-to-order in my Etsy Shop.


Some custom orders:


Made these two bear kids for my Livestream show last week.  The brown one as an example, and the white one I was sewing live while I talked!  You can see a log of the Q & A here!: http://news.deviantart.com/article/124516/
They're both sold now but I'm taking custom orders for the white one! & I'm making them a new buddy soon because people responded so well to them!

I was originally making these for Plush You! LA but I loved them so much I put them up on my shop immediately!  They're both sold now but the white one is available made to order. :)

Awesome!
Next post will be a feature post of some awesome monster artwork, because I haven't done that in awhile!






Biggg shop update, interviews & giveaways!

Posted by: LOVEANDASANDWICH

 I just got a ridiculous amount of work back from a gallery & am slowly putting it up on my shop!

Four owlets (only one left now!), four love yetis (three left, each come with a valentine!), three love drizzles (two left), two monsters (one left!), two keychains (both sold), five packs of stickers (two claimed), three pairs of earrings, and a big monstroctopus!

The Valentines are my favorite part of these!  I handmade these with colored paper & sharpies, and the inside of each has a different yeti related love poem. :D


Also! I have an interview up on Art Tales Leftz's blog, with her "Fuzzy Friday" feature! http://arttales-leftz.blogspot.com/2010/08/fuzzy-friday.html
Also some sweet things going on with the Etsy Plush Team, which I am a proud member of!
- There's an August giveaway going on the Plush Team blog with AbsolutelySmall.  Lots of chances to enter to win a little pom pom creature!
- Tiny Tuesday is also going on at the Plush Team shop!  $5 items being added by awesome Plush Team members every Tuesday!  My date to add the $5 items is Sept 7th.



& I'd like to end this blog post with this wonderful picture. :)




Livestream & Chat!

Posted by: LOVEANDASANDWICH

Tomorrow I am doing a Q& A and Livestream through Deviantart!
They're doing a Chat Week & asked if I could answer questions while sewing live!  I'll be working on one of these for two hours (I didn't cut out everything yet of course, but got a head start):

It's going on tomorrow from 6-8pm PST  Go here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html to figure out what time it'd be in your area.

More info about it & a lovely feature here:  http://news.deviantart.com/article/124292/

& You can get directly to the chat link for tomorrow here!  http://chat.deviantart.com/chat/communityrelations
