tons of felt food

The next few days I'll be adding a bunch of new stuff to the store, check it often!

bloggity blog banner

Check it out, new banner and everything! The old one was nice, but I thought it was time to start having a cohesive brand for the plush parade. My business cards and Etsy have this design going, so why not have the portal blog match?

Oh, and coming to you from TatPar Productions, a new side project Justin and I have started working on (it's in the development stage now.) If you think of The Omen, Children of the Corn, and Eight Legged Freaks, plus babies who have freakish red hair, you have a pretty good idea of the plot. Here's the movie poster rough, a collab between Parps and myself.



Oh, and I'll be at the Handmade Brigade November 1st, Booth 8, at the CAMP in Costa Mesa. I'm indoors this time, so rain or shine, you should come say hello! I'll have some new products- needle-felted friends and deer/bunny girls for sale.

Dolly the Deer Girl

This is the plush I've been working on for a little over a week now- stayed up late last night to finish her. I named her Dolly, and she's a deer girl (and yes, I know female deer don't have antlers.) I plan on working in this style on and off when I'm not making funny foods and monsters and simpler pieces. I really like her, maybe because she looks vaguely tired or pissed off.



She started off as this drawing I did at Joe's Diner.

The arms and legs and the line details in the hair are machine-sewn, but all the rest is hand-sewn, thus why it took so long to complete. The fabric I bought from hushbabyco on Esty, and the felt and other baubles are just bits I've collected over the years. Her eyes are safety plastic.

This particular doll won't be up for sale, as I'm keeping her to love for-ev-er, but I'll have some other ones up for sale by the end of the month, including a man with a giant moustache!

cool news plus cool pics

This is a thumb card I made, which was originally supposed to be the title card. The one they actually use for the video is boring, and makes me sad, so just pretend it's this.


This is ripped from the JibJab blog, because I'm not sure what we can post and what we can't. But what I CAN tell you is that I'm Meg White's body (its not just in silhouette in the full video) and I appear to be eaten by Charles Nelson Reilly. Justin appears too- he gets shot at by lasers. The video is friggin' awesome, so when it drops, I'll let you know.


This is a business card I'm finishing up for my plush biz. I think it's pretty awesome (not to toot my own horn or anything, even though I just did.) The back is blank so I can draw funny things on it when I send it to people, or write important infos on it when I'm giving it to people who need such things. It's one of 3 things I've actually designed for myself in the past 3 months. (That's sad, considering my profession is listed as Designer, but whatev.)

I'm also working on some new plush designs, whoo hoo, and a badass bear pattern that will save us all from destruction. I also plan on updating this thing more often again, since I don't have Comic-Con as an excuse.

P.S. We did really awesome there, and had a killer time. If you can, you should totally hit it up next year. We can hang out, it would be rad.
