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 ....

:)

I had my first sale yesterday!

Wow - it's soooo exciting! I actually couldn't believe it for a few seconds. It was like finally getting something you've waited so long for ... and then it's hard to imaging that it's really happening. Hehe. Sheesh, that sounds overly dramatic.

It's a bittersweet sale. The item sold is Sedrick, my first ever listed plushie. Though there was a prototype before him (which I'll keep forever), he was my first sale-able plushie. He was also my first attempt at putting spikes down the back. Oh, Seddy ... you will be missed.

Luckily, he's going to a good home. The woman who purchased him seems to love plushies as much as I do. And he's going to be a gift that she bought for herself for her birthday. So he's definately going to bring a smile to her face.

I guess I just wanted to write this post as a farewell to my little guy. I gave him a big hug and packaged him all up with care. He's on to bigger and better things. And now for some pictures. (please feel free to hum "Memories" by Barbara Streisand whilst viewing)

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!
