The Process

I've thought about writing a couple blogs about my creating process. Today is a good day to start because I cannot for the life of me find my eyeballs, so the two plushies I've been working on over the weekend can't be finished.




I made a blue-themed mini 'Zibit, and a great fall-themed 'Zibit A. Now if I can only find those eyes ....















Here's the mini 'Zibit on my hand! It's almost like a puppet :)









In this pic, you can see the back side of the 'Zibit A. See the little spikes?? They will look much better once they're stuffed. All these guys need to be complete are some eyes (where are they??!!), some stuffing, and then fleece bottom pieces.

I placed a bid on Alchemy ... and it was accepted!

Two sales in the same week - what are the odds? I'm stoked!! The buyer wanted a unique plush animal that could incorporate blue, green, black and white. She said she would like to take it traveling with her and take pictures of it in random places. How fun! I submitted my bid, and she loved my 'Zibits. So I made one special just for her.

And here's how it turned out ....



So cute! I may have to make some more kaleidescope 'Zibits to list ... hmmm ....

:)

Meet the 'Zibits!

I've picked the names for my plushies!!

The line is going to be called the 'Zibits (thank you, ReFashionAbles!) and this particular little guy is named Sedrick (thank you, CelticKnot!)

'Zibit A is going to be the smaller size. 'Zibit B is going to be the larger size. When I come up with different types, there will be 'Zibit B, C, D, E, .... X, Y, Z!

Help name my plushie line!

I'm looking for a name for my plushie line, as well as individual names for my little plushie guy. To sort of explain, I would like an overall name - i.e. like "dogs" - and then individual names for each guy - i.e. like "golden retriever, sheltie" etc. The dog thing is just an analogy. My little guys look nothing like dogs :)

Soooo .... wanna help? If I pick your name, I will give you credit in my store. This means I will state in my profile that you (with your store link) helped with the naming process.

Here's the link for my store, where you can see more pictures of this little plushie. fortunately. unfortunately.

The details: All of my plushies are going to use the same scale technique. Initially, they will all be the same squarish shape, though I want to branch out soon and make some other body type. They will all be two-toned, and will all be made out of fleece because it's super soft and washable!

Any help is appreciated! Feel free to leave a comment with your name idea! :)

EDIT: Some of the names offered so far are Gilbert/The Gilbert Collection, McScaly (because he sort of looks like the Fry Guys from the McDonald's commercials) and Kazoos. All great so far!
