I made this to go with my bunny rosebud. I originally wanted her to wear it but it is too big for her.

I like bunnies.

Q: Would you buy/wear this?

T-shirt printing is a costly venture, that's why I'm always asking for opinions on it before I invest. The happy bears t-shirt is currently in production(!) and I would like to have another Tee made. What do you think about this happy fruit explosion? Too much? For shirts I always lean toward super-graphic... I'm basically jealous of little kids shirts and want them in my own size.

feelin' fruity!

Did I tell you about the feelin' fruity group on Flickr? I forget. I started a group many months ago for images of fruit in the graphic form. Patterns,stationery,cannisters,plates,belts,trims,softies,illustrations,pouches,fabric,etc.

(fake fruit only)

We currently have 435 members contributing their fruitastic photos. Yes, fruitastic! Here is the link if you'd like to join in on the fun!

update: yes, I did post about this in September. Here is the original post :)

Please...

respect my work + photos by not stealing them and using them commercially. Also it is NOT ok to copy my crochet designs and post a pattern of it on Craftster so a whole bunch of other people can copy it. Ahem! to whoever did that. That hurt my feelings. Above is a fine example of thievery that a kind person has pointed out to me. I'm sorry to have to even mention this.

much less lumpy, but I realized I really need to get some sandpaper to smooth out the edges and the back.

I drank a lot of coffee last night with the intentions of doing "work" but instead made this mini tote in the middle of the night till 6:30 am. It is an original design by moi and currently a one of a kind. But I might make more for the Renegade Craft Fair that is coming up next month... here is the link to this one.

new!

stupendous storage

I have this weird addiction to storage jars. I can't stop thinking about them. I was obsessing over these jars designed by Ole Palsby last night for 4 hours. I need help.

ok one more and I will stop with the frog pics

I'm still working on perfecting the softie version.

What do you think?

would you wear this shirt? I want to have a new unisex shirt printed. Here is my first idea.

Mu + Tomomi's wedding

this is my favorite pic!

gifts for a friend

Today my friend Mu is getting married, congrats Mu! I made him these softies as part of my wedding gift to him and his wife. I based these characters off of a painting that he had given me many years ago (pictured right). I looked up the significance of the giant white radish (daikon) and it is supposed to mean "good luck", specifically a long and healthy life, so I think it's the perfect symbol for beginning a new life with someone!

p.s. Mu, if you have children you better name your kid Peter like we discussed. Peter Pan- come on, you have to.

Frog (b) hangin' out

I added this one to my shop.

"Will is" it going to make your heart burst? Shinzi's stuff usually makes my heart pitter patter.

Ok, here's my first attempt

The next one will definitely have bulgier eyeballs and more toesies. They are supposed to have 4 in the front and 5 in the back. Good.to.know.

latest fascination- red eyed tree frogs!

I love the stackability! I am going to try to make a softie like this one day!

My new friend Henny!

I purchased her from some young Polish dude on the street who said he handmade her from grass and string. She is sweet!
