| I didn't customize this one - Andy made her himself. I think she used to be a Catrine. |
Goodies sent off to Cupcake – doll sweater/scarf (my favorite use for old socks tbh) and duct-tape backpack, plushies of Blu Bell and Cece, a little plush mini!Cupcake, and the crowning glory…Parka Pal Boo hand puppet.
Parka Pal Boo was the second biggest experimental thing I tried this year! I’ve never tried hand puppets before, but this pattern was a blast to work with. Unfortunately, because I freehanded his tentacles, there wasn’t any room left for actual eyebrows, so in that regard he’s not as accurate to the original art as he could have been :’D
I know I say this about almost every new art hack or technique I find, but learning to make my own fabric paint really did open up a whole new world of possibilities, especially when it comes to these plushies I keep making.
I’m especially pleased with how mini!Cupcake came out. That’s a pattern from scratch. She’s designed to be a pleasant fit for the hand and a little floppy, though her clothes hold her up well enough that if you balance her just right she can stand on her own. Making shoes for her was a failure, so she got painted toes instead =p
