Lowered prices on a bunch of these!
Shares appreciated

aw man lately mine has decided that the Move function needs to stop working. I can nudge with my arrow keys, but actually dragging something? No, too tired now. I have to restart the program so it comes back. Why are you like this??? You cost money??? (usually)

Weird things my art programs do I have never found answers for:

Booting photoshop pauses YouTube. Every time.

SAI randomly decides it is "always on top" and will cover all other programs unless I minimise it. No pattern to it, no settings I can find. Infuriating when I'm working on tutorials.

A screenshot from 8 years ago Dated September 26 2017 that is captioned "a flaaffy sticker design idea, and an alien plush I had an idea for a few weeks ago." underneath is a little green doodle of an alien with purple eyes and antennae

A screenshot from a sketch sheet of a green alien with purple hair, pink eyes and a pink bodysuit with big grey boots.

How it started - How it's going

I'll start shipping open orders, I will be covering the 15% myself. I did keep back as much as I could to cover it, barring essential fabric orders, so I might have to stagger it a little!

After so many years familiar with the process of registered letters - the booking, the ETA, the claims procedure, it's going to be a learning curve as the first few parcels take off. So please be patient with me while we figure out logistics!

I should be able to reinstate US shipping this week. Correos has revamped and changed its system, I can no longer send goods via Registered Letter.
Base shipping for <500g items will be 25€ and the tariff is 15%.

As usual I offer split payments and I'm going to investigate my pricing.

Quick peek at Flareon anyone?

A cropped photo of the bottom half of two plush, showing their legs. The orange one on the left has slimmer, taller legs and the one on the right has wider, slightly shorter legs.

A good visual of stretch affecting a pattern. Same pattern, made entirely the same way, but the orange is Shannon cuddle 3 (I think pre mill change) and the yellow is "igloo" minky from an ebay seller. (Hopen's 5mm is mostly the same)

Look at those chunky legs!
(Jolteon is also slightly shorter)

He's just not very photogenic

(I want to redo him in Shannon 3. Hoping someone will comm that)

A permanent residence so I can stop spending so much time worrying.

But an actual tool? Man I'd really love to get into resin printing. I think it'd be so helpful for creating little accessories for dolls.

Oh! And that her default boomerang is green! That was another point I've seen people make for the Green Moon team!

She has such an affinity for Red magic that at some point I was like "what if her folks were from Nasr?" (though I hc her dad was from Nasr, mom from Upper Valua originally - is it tropey? Yes. Do I care? No!)

I have seen people say her necklace is more Ixa'Taka though, which would be interesting.

OK I SCREWED UP POSTING THIS THREE TIMES, I SEE THE ALT TEXT IN THE POST BY MISTAKE, I'M NOT REDOING IT

a cartoon of Aika from Skies of arcadia dressed in a sailor fuku uniform that looks like Sailor Venus' with her hair down and holding up a mini boomerang. She says "I am Sailor Red-Moon! Protector of the Moon Princess!" Next to her, Fina from skies of arcadia is dressed in the Princess Serenity dress from sailor moon - ivory with puffy off the shoulder sleeves. She is saying "Aika, where did you get that outfit? ...and Osman's cat for that matter?"

A night sky art piece of Aika from Skies of Arcadia sitting on the crow's nest of a ship, staring up at the red moon in the sky. There is a blue jacket around her shoulders.

a plush of a Looper, a monster from skies of arcadia, floating on a blue backdrop with clouds.

Skies of Arcadia's 25th anniversary - a game I've loved for 24 years. It shaped my art, my story telling, my taste in music and games, I bored everyone half to death talking about it nonstop in my tweens. Raise a tankard of Loqua~

Two photos of my Aika from Skies of Arcadia cosplay

HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY TO SKIES OF ARCADIA!🎉
I really need to bring my Aika cosplay back out. But similarly to BlackRose and Kai, the comically large weapon props that I made are a bit hard to travel with since they aren't collapsible🙈

Skies of Arcadia released 25 years ago today in Japan, gracing the Sega Dreamcast with a remarkable adventure!

A game which changed my life. And it really holds up even today! Earnest swashbuckling with a great cast of characters.

I'm still slowly novelizing the game. Read at the link below.

I've made a few ponified Rain plushies in the past. Would anyone be interested in one oooor would someone prefer one with a more movie accurate anatomy? I am being poked to do a regular horse version of her soon, so reach out to me. ❤️ #MLP #spiritsotc #rain #horse #mylittlepony #plushie #plushart

Setting up the pattern so that it's user friendly AND friendly for different furs (will still recommend lightweight unless you're upping the scale of the actual plush by a significant amount) but I DID IT

I've sent a couple of gifts so far and they've slipped through ok, but I know that they're probably the exception. I was careful to dot the i's and cross the t's.

I can't access it yet but I think it's gonna kick me in the teeth OTL

Ugh I think Correos is gonna screw me over when it reopens for USA shipping. It sounds like they're getting rid of the "registered mail up to 2kg" option I've always used.

That's a good idea. I'm currently sending a friend something she wanted from the Netherlands but couldn't get. I was planning a gift box for her anyway so I'm packing it all together so that it's technically still a gift.

Sadly we literally can't right now. Regular postal services, the ones I was using, are all suspended. Couriers are still active but they are charging insane USA handling fees on top of being 4× what correos was charging to mail a small parcel. We're all pissed together.

My 16 various tripods and camera mounts watching me holding a sewing WIP in one hand, phone in the other and booping the screen with my nose to get the focus right:

A plush of Fern the human stood by a tree. One arm is stretched out to touch the tree as he looks off camera.

Fern is getting a lot of love again??? I love him too.
Kinda wanted to make a Spring one (pink) but haven't had time.
