GERONIMO!

I'm always excited to get a new commission request.  Sometimes it starts off simply.  "Can you make me...?"  I haven't been asked to make anything that I can't really make so far (knock on wood ^_~).  This time it was a request for a cuddly Matt Smith.  How in the world could I say no? 

He's all set and ready for a new adventure.  He's just missing River to trail behind him and call him "Sweetie".  ^_~ 

I'm still open for commissions through November and December.  Christmas orders should be placed early to guarantee delivery by the holiday.  Feel free to contact me through etsy or my facebook page for more information.

New Products and Finished Commissions Round-Up!

Good morning! 

I've got a lot of great stuff ready to show to everyone.  So my blog will be busy, busy, busy once more.  ^_^  In the last two months, I've finished my wholesale order of 30 Rocky Horror Plushies, completed eight new dolls, and worked on a lot of new products for us to sell at conventions now and in the future. 

So without further ado, I'll share some of my new dolls.  I'll start off with several classic and beloved dolls that are really popular. 

We had two 10th Doctor requests, each in a different colored suit.  It was a lot of fun getting to make them, especially since the Blue-Suited Doctor had requested his glasses.  They were so cute!!!!

  

Commissions are open for November and December.  If you are interested in ordering a doll or any of my other products for Christmas, I highly recommend that you place your orders early.  Contact me through my etsy store or on my facebook page for more information.

Been a long time coming...

Okay, after my big wholesale order I sort of fell off the edge of the world for a bit there.  I've been going through some changes and we had a lot of work to do in preparation for a convention we had an artist table at.  Needless to say, I'm painfully behind on all of my communications, so I hope to begin to correct that immediately. 

First of all, I'm still sewing up a storm.  I've got several new dolls to show off over the course of the next week or so.  I had a lot of orders last month and everything has just been sent out.  I've also got some interesting new ideas and products that I'm organizing as we speak into our online store.  We're going to be offering a lot of cosplay accessories, jewelry, hair accessories, and soon a new series of fleece hats for the cold months ahead. 

So while I get cracking on organizing myself and getting as much work completed as possible for everyone, here's a sneak peak at some of the things you'll get to enjoy within the next few days. 

My Other Crafting Projects

I'm putting together a wide selection of different products to sell at AWA, and my partner and I are also putting together some unique accessories and jewelry.  I enjoy making simple beaded earrings, so I've got a collection that will be coming with us.  I'm starting to branch out from there, but haven't finished anything at the moment.  So here's a sample of some of what I have at the moment. 

Back and Ready For Action!

Dragon*Con was great!  I had a lot of fun with friends and was able to make it to one of the TNG panels that weekend so that I could hear Gates McFadden talk.  I was sooooooo happy since the first question asked was about the work she did with Jim Hensen.  *_*  If you didn't know, she did a lot of choreography for the Muppets, including the ballroom scene in the Labyrinth.  I was a happy little fan girl after leaving the panel.  ^_^

The Rocky Horror Plushies went over great.  Lips Down on Dixie were thrilled and most of them have been sold before Dragon*Con was over.  I'm looking forward to taking their next order within the next few weeks.

Now that my little vacation is over, it's time for me to get back to work.  I'm in the process of putting together several new styles of dolls.  This is the first time I'm going to be working on several completely original designs.  Wish me luck everyone.

I've also got several commissions lined up that are taking high priority on my to do list.  I'll have new pictures of a 10th Doctor, Graverobber and a Dragon Age plushie to name just a few.  It's going to be a good month for me.  If you're interested in a commission then please feel free to contact me ASAP to ensure that I don't fill up before you can place your order. 

Short break...

Dragon*Con is the biggest convention in my area and it starts at the end of the week. As a result, I've been working quite a bit to make my deadlines for the con. I've got personal costumes and a lot of dolls to make. My wholesale order is due on Thursday before the con, so you can imagine how much work this is all entailing.

Needless to say, having time to actually write for the next few days is going to be nearly nonexistent. Once the convention is over, I'll be back in the game and have a lot of new projects that I'll be taking on. Over the next month, I'll be putting together a lot of new ideas and projects in preparation for Anime Weekend Atlanta, where I'll be running Moony Couture Design's table in the Artist Alley.

Hope everyone has a great week and wish me luck!  ^_^

That's me in my Tegan costume (Classic Who). I'll have that on at some point during the con. Maybe you can spot me there. ^_^

Inspiration

I'm a big fan of EGL (Elegant Gothic Lolita) fashion.  I'm not particularly one who'd jump to wear it, but I find it extremely inspirational.  I look at pictures of the fashion and immediately I want to draw or make something.  I found this beautiful photo on livejournal. Their entire photoshoot was absolutely beautiful. I'm ready to get sewing now. ^_^

What inspires you to create? I'd love to see the photos, videos, music, etc that helps you create beautiful art.
