Here is a Totoro and Pikachu plushie :)
They're both made out of felt, by the way.
Now here's the backs of both of them. ^^
Each plushie took about 2-4 hours, and I'm telling you- I didn't do it all in one day! ;b
Hi, and thanks for checking this out my blog! :) In this blog, I'll do anything craft related (Sometimes art!). I'll post simple pictures of things or do tutorials. I mostly work with polymer clay, so you might be seeing that more often than anything else. Tips and criticism is welcomed with opened arms! I'd like to improve with my work, so please feel free to comment on whatever you like. :D Have any questions? kirby64m@gmail.com kirby64m@yahoo.com

Gastly! c:
Haha <3You can hang this little guy up from any kind of thing that works like a hook, I guess? I love the three original ghosts: Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar.
Haunter was always my favorite of just those three xD
This is just a wood circle that was painted, and then silky purple ribbons that were attached to the sides of the circle, all the way around. C:

Two things to say. C:
I think this is a good brand for making molds. It's really good, and the instructions are really simple to follow; as long as you have had a little experience with clay... This came from Hobby Lobby, by the way. I couldn't find it in Michaels, but there was only about two choices on craft stores...Aw well.
And check this out! :D Miniature cooking ware! Isn't it cute? (Well, anything that's miniature is cute in my opinion. > v > ) I got these from Hobby Lobby as well. :b

I recommend this!
Anyone live in or near Virginia? You should go to this place. It's called Bell's Exclusives, and you (should) find it behind a hair salon. (I think that's it.) It's the coolest! It's got practically anything (and everything!) you'll need to make a dollhouse, or do polymer clay miniatures. Mrs. Bell, one of the two owners, is really nice. Her husband is awesome, too! He makes the dollhouses on display there. They're both kind and willing to give tips on little things, so I recommend going there if you need help or are thinking of making a dollhouse. :)
By the way, this is the business card. I'll post the actual sign to the shop later on. (Plus, they have free kittens they're giving away! ;D )

Polymer Clay Charms!
Donuts...Two chocolate donuts as earrings, one pink icing w/sprinkles charm, along with pink icing and a long trail of lemon across. Making a donut takes about 20 minutes. (Well, more than that if I were to bake it...)
Cupcakes! Blue cupcake with a big bow, pink cupcake with tiny white hearts on top, and a white cupcake with a white bow, cherry top, and polka-dots. If you really want to get into details on these cupcakes, it would take quite a while.
More cupcakes...(And below, too...) Pink swirly cupcake topped by a heart with little wings. Two purple cupcakes- One with flowers, and one with butterflies. These were hard to make, and took a while.
Rainbow cupcake and another multicolored cupcake with it- More like a 'citrus' cupcake. It's covered in a lemon and lemon slices. It's icing is made up of orange and yellow clay swirled together. The rainbow cupcake started out with white icing, but I colored it over with pastels. The rainbow cupcake didn't take long, but the citrus cupcake took long.
These are chick earrings! :) Simple enough, these didn't take long. Since I've made so many of these things, they weren't hard at all for me. Took about 15 minutes.
Mameshiba! <3 :D I love these little bean dogs and their strange trivia. The smart bean, tiger bean, sword bean, and soy bean are all in this picture. Mameshiba bodies are very easy to make, it's the painting that can be pretty hard. If you make a mistake on their eyes, it won't look right.
Toilet paper... C: Some of them have faces, and one looks like it's recycled...Two of them are earrings, as well.
Pikachu! :> The idea for this little pikachu was for it to go on a bow accessory, but it was never completed...Oh well, someday that might happen...

Polymer Clay Miniature Cheeseburger tutorial
My first post! :D
Difficulty: Fairly Easy
(On a scale of: Very Hard, Hard, Fairly Easy, Easy. Very Hard as in the toughest project, and Easy as in the easiest project.)
Here is a picture of what the actual charm should (And would! ;) ) look like. This charm was completed by the steps below...
Items needed:
- Blade (Any kind of sharp material, whatever you use to cut!)
- Pastels (Bright Yellow, Brown, Brick Red, Sand-y color)
- Polymer Clay (Of course! Yellow, Translucent, Beige, and Brown.)
- A paintbrush (Which is not in this image!! Sorry!)
Step 1:
Take the Beige Clay and roll it into a log. Don't worry if you have lint or anything else in it, it won't show up when it's finished. (Hakuna Matata! C: )
Step 2: Take the blade that you have and cut it in two sections- One slightly larger than the other. This picture kind of exaggerates the whole idea of it; what makes up the top bun (The left section, or the bigger side) is a little bigger than what it needs to be, so I took some clay off of it later on when I realized this
Step 3: Roll the bigger section a ball and flatten down the sides (Like a small dome). Take the smaller section, roll it into a ball as well, then completely flatten it. Note it can't be too flat.
Step 4: This is where the pastels come in. In this picture, the colors are going in a certain order, and are a certain size. The order is Bright Yellow, Sand, Brick Red, and Brown. Starting with Bright Yellow as the largest amount, and Brown as the least amount.
Step 5: Mix all the colors together with a paintbrush. Be careful, this could get pretty messy. Just make sure you clean your hands before touching the rest of your clay. No kidding when I say now that it will and can stain clothing, several kinds of surfaces, and your clay. But after mixing it together for a while, the colors will go away.
Step 6: Take the little dome (Or the top bun! :B ) and brush on the mixed colors to make a 'baked' effect. Start at the top and make your way down, becoming lighter and lighter as you go. I'll mention this now- I used Beige because the way the pastels shade it looks better than normal brown clay. But that's only my opinion.
Step 7: Repeat the process with the bottom piece, only without the 'lighter and lighter as you go' thing. Try to make the sides and bottom look the same- just don't bother shading the other side.
Step 8: Take your Brown clay and roll it into a small log (As shown). Squish it flat just like how you did with the bottom bun earlier. Try to make this the same size as said clay bun, because this will be the meat of the little cheeseburger.
Step 9: Get your Yellow clay out and squish it very flat- Very flat. Cut out a little square from the clay and pinch the corners so that they just barely hang downwards. (You'll see what I mean in the next picture.) This is going to be the cheese.
Step 11 (And final): Place the top bun on the burger, add an eye pin, and bake! Now your tiny delicious looking cheeseburger is complete! :)
