Plush You 2008

The plush show of ALL plush shows opened last weekend at Schmancy in Seattle... "Plush You 2008".

One of my SkullShie's is in the show and it thrills me to death. Here's a peek...

Please check out this fun etsy shop that features ooak (one of a kind) Obama-wear. You can even get a picture of YOU photoshop'd into a pic with Obama and then made into a tee! So cool, oh, that's not me in the pic, though I would love to have one, that's for sure...

And this bumper sticker is WAY cooler than the boring ones distributed by the party...

I honestly have so much diffficulty inserting pics... all this weird space shows up, and I have to go back and delete it, and then if I'm not careful I delete a pic ,so then I have to upload the pic again, then the chunks of white space show up again, then I start deleting again and honestly....it's exhausting. So I'm signing off. sheeeesh

SkullShie BeBe Onesies

How cute are these onesies? This was a special order I completed today for a friend. They are photo transfers of my "SkullShie's". I have two more blank ones that I'll be putting images on over the weekend. They will be in the etsy shop.

Happy Friday yall!

OK,blogging has begun...

I'm just gonna start, no need to blah blah blah about why I have a blog...

I am best known as an artist/designer for the SkullShie's I have been making for about 2 yrs now. So when I recently started making sock monkeys and vintage inspired teddy bears it was weird for everyone involved. Why?



A couple months ago when my Mom was visiting I was showing her my etsy shop and she asked why my SkullShie's were listed as "toys". Aaaah, good question, especially from a Mom who doesn't know about Plush, DIY, indie, etc. My Skulls are Plush, but can you play with them and snuggle with them like a "toy"? Well, yes, my 6 yr old does. However, they do fall more toward the art on the wall side. This kinda made me sad to realize cause I consider myself a toymaker, a Plush Designer...I LOVE Plush. So am I really a plush designer?

HELL YEAH!

But I knew that I wanted to make more hands on, lovey creatures like the stuffed animals I have obsessed over
all of my entire life. That is where I am right now, learning and experimenting so that I can create more wonderfulness... i mean "fun-ness" :)

I am hoping that my "people", especially my collectors, understand that I will always be their SkullShie girl, and there will be many more SkullShie's made.

Now, I am off to make the cutest teddy, Lil has already named her "Cookie", I should have her posted on etsy tonight.

Thanks "Yall" for listening... reading.
