My Beautiful Monsters

Plush Toys!!

Monday, 30 January 2012 10:04

I made 4 of these Totoro plushies by hand for my friend and his kids as Christmas presents. This is the first successful pattern that I kept for myself :)

I made five of the Totoros in total - Totoro is from the film ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ from Studio Ghibli, directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

If you haven’t seen anything from Studio Ghibli, you MUST look it up – wonderful, beautifully created and sweet movies.

I also designed and created a cute little dragon for another friend – I liked the design so much I made one for myself!

More photos can be found in my Craft Projects Gallery.

Happy New Year 2012!

Thursday, 19 January 2012 14:21

I’ll start with – HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012! (yes I know its well into Jan now)

So its been another year:

Its been 12 months since we moved into our new house and my studio is finally shaping into a space I can work in. General renovations continue…

I started a lot of projects, some inspired/distracted me to start other projects, some I even finished! ;)

I’ve started designing and making plushies again, something I’ve loved doing since my mother taught me to sew as a little girl – photos soon :)

Helped my friend set up and open her gallery in South Gippsland – it was a huge task but working on it together was surprisingly fun! I’m looking forward to taking a holiday and invading her studio again soon :) Maybe even exhibiting…

And lots and lots of other things…

This year I will continue to try and overcome my deep suspicious of the internet and be more active posting here and submitting my work to other sites.

I also have started to redesign my website to better present my work.

I hope your year has gotten off to a good start.

Next time: More pictures and less text

The Gamblers Continue

Sunday, 11 September 2011 11:27

I've just added the latest "player" in The Gamblers to the digital gallery - Baron - King of Hearts!

A close up of his tattoo...

Baron Hearts - Commander of all the forces of Law, the most feared man in all the Know Universe, King of the House of Hearts, husband to the beautiful Rose and the sworn enemy of the pirate, Jack Spades.

Rose "Queen of Hearts”, the most renowned socialite in the Know Universe, wife of Baron Hearts, Commander of all the forces of Law.

Rose was once Jack’s lover, further fuelling The King of Hearts’ hatred for the pirate.

One-Eyed Jack Spades, Space Pirate and Gentleman of Fortune

Legend has it he has never been captured by the Law and never harmed a woman, child or innocent man in all his adventures through out the Galaxies.
