FINISHED!! :)

This is an update post!

So I finished the plush of BOTH Harley and Joker and I have some other small updates. 

Update 1, a long time ago I completed a form for animenyc artist alley so I could possibly sell my art at a table there. Unfortunately I'm in UT now at school, but I could return to NY during breaks. Double unfortunately, I'm on their wait list. Still waiting for an email  to come in october saying if i got an extra chance at a table. I don't know if I'll be able to do it this year, but I'll let you know if I do. If not there's always next year. It would be a great opportunity for me and if I do go I hope to see you there!!  

Update 2, new art!!

(I was practicing shading, and I drew Asuka my love ♡)

(Kyandi in central park)

(I'm super proud of this one)

(Egg the eyeball girl and other ocs)

(Alice, Aka, Kyandi)

And that's the update, yea!

If there's any other updates in the future, I'll be sure to write them here. 

And um yea here are the finished crochet plushies! I'm satisfied :) and I think next I want to crochet sailor moon but I have some other ideas too so yea (Ketchup from animal crossing, miku...Asuka...I can't find a pattern for Asuka OR Rei though, so I can use a base pattern I guess) (so odd there's no patterns for them)

I love both of them so much :D

I find crochet to be very fun

I'm also trying to crochet myself a sweater cause it's freezing outside where I am, but it would take a long time haha

I found a whole bunch of sweater patterns

This one's really good!

Her whole website is really nice! I highly recommend browsing her other patterns they're very well put together, I found one for a beanie too I may try

That's all for now. I want to make sections in this blog. I'm thinking..

- crochet

- sewing

- drawing / art related stuff

- little Dreamer kyandi (everything related to LDK)

- comic progress

- daily life

- other

I think that sounds about right?

I'm hoping to organize this blog and post more soon enough. :)

See ya!

Amigurumi process continued!

Hello, this is going to be a short update on projects! Specifically crochet projects ☆

 I'm getting better at crochet I think :)

Mostly! Because, for me right now, it's pretty straightforward to learn different stitches like obviously the basic slip stitch and single crochet but also slightly harder ones like half double crochet, triple decreases or increases etc.  It's becoming a little more like second nature to crochet certain stitches. But some I still have to double check and make sure that I am doing it right. It's a learning process :)

For example i figured out how to make a granny square :)

Which is basically something you start with a circle. And then you connect corners, with different stitches.  I used a good pattern, here's the one I used

https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/easy-crochet-granny-square-pattern-4061420

so I've been crocheting a Joker plush from a great pattern I found on etsy, here's a link to where you can buy the pattern and try it yourself! https://www.etsy.com/listing/742864534/e-book-amigurumi-crochet-pattern-joker

So mine is not perfect, but that's because this is the first time I've EVER crocheted a doll on this difficulty level, this scale and this size.

This would be my first official amigurumi project!  Since I am much more used to sewing, all my finished sewing soft toy projects are certainly a great accomplishment but I definitely have more knowledge there than with crochet, so I'm super happy to learn more crochet and amigurumi crochet...! And I am going to keep practicing to the best of my ability

Again, mine is not perfect and has room for improvement :)

If I make it again, I will maybe get a better shape of the body simply by practicing and doing it more than once.  

But, mine's not too bad...I think mine is actually pretty cute.  

You'll see in a moment :)

...

question of the day I have to decide, should j give him a little more hair? Looking at other people's photos on etsy  I see the hair is super thick. Maybe I could keep adding more strands to make mine a little thicker. It's still possible to do that. 

And the other important thing is: When you look at my photos I'll share in a second, remember MINE IS NOT FINISHED lol!! I'm still making the arms, the yellow jacket/vest and the red suit jacket. :) so please keep that in mind, that this is a work in progress not a finished photo gallery -- yet :D

So cute  💓 

I like how I'm able to commit to the project. 

Okay, so places I want to improve. Definitely the head shape. Definitely some bit of the body could be more uniform. He's a little chunky at the top and the waist but I think that's cute. But maybe make him a little more thin? He can still be chubby, just a little less bumpy. THats the word i was looking for.  Like there are small increases and little bumps in his waist and butt and a bit in the legs. 

And the face shape could be improved. And the style of the face is fine, but you could experiment with ways of making the red mouth. Like I thought of using red felt instead and lightly sewing it on and then making a stitch for a sad mouth with brown thread.  That would be a slightly different take on it but may be cool too.  (Since you know. In the movie. He is pretty sad, and often feels bad *pats his head* don't be sad Arthur, I whisper to him, I mean Mr J)

(Okay you get my gist lol)

Here's a closeup of his face

He be cute :3

So I have purple yarn so I wanted to make the dark knight Joker too with the same pattern. Also, I have a pattern for Harley and am going to make her so he has his Harley around and isn't too lonely. :) it's gonna be fun to make her too! Since I haven't started I won't add the pattern link just yet but I will when I start so you readers can buy it and make one if you want as well

(Also i know this is kinda obvious but I'm just sending the link to where to buy it, not the actual pattern because you are not supposed to share the pattern, it's against the rules of the creator.  So I try to respect that 

Sorry i know that's pretty obvious but I was just making that clear, and this is my blog so I just write what I need to) :)

What's gonna be super cute is the pattern for Harley, she's a little smaller when you check the measurements. So because he's a little bigger than her she'll be able to sit on his lap and snuggle I think that'll be adorable  ❤️ 

Unless my measurements are off :o haha

Okay that's all for now, I will update with more crochet  when I have more to share! Thanks!

:)
