Crafty talk
Aug. 13th, 2013 02:15 amI ordered a whole bunch of plastic safety eyes from GlassEyesOnline last week, and they showed up this afternoon. They look fantastic, though the 12mm and smaller eyes have a different washer style than I'm used to. I'm totally looking forward to using all of them ♥
I ordered: 55 pairs 12mm slit-pupil eyes (20 pair green, 15 pair gold, 15 pair blue, 5 pair clear); 15 pairs 12mm round pupil eyes (5 pairs each blue, gold, and brown); 15 pairs 10mm round pupil eyes (10 pair black, 5 pair brown); 50 pairs 6mm eyes (all black); and 15 pairs 15mm iridescent slit-pupil eyes (1 pair of each color). The 12mm eyes are for cats and dogs, the 10mm eyes are for itty bitty piggies, the 6mm eyes are for exactly 50 mini corncobs that my mom is having commissioned to send out to our various family members, and the 15mm eyes will be for dragons and possibly griffins as well.
I seriously need to make at least three more griffins soon. Two of my solid-colored griffins are out of stock (black and white), as well as my seal-point griffin. I also need to re-take one of my cheetah griffin pictures, so I can list it on Etsy (and also show it off here, because cheetah griffin). And I reeeaaaaally wanna make another dragon, but they aren't exactly the fastest moving plushies on the market. Which is a shame, because they're GORGEOUS. /biased
I also need to be making more cats and dogs. They've been moving at a decent pace via a local shop I sell them through, which was a pleasant surprise. I've had a couple of people ask after Minions a la Despicable Me as well, so I'll likely be whipping up one of those in the near future. And I really, really wanna try "tapestry" crocheting sometime soon; I've thought about doing a Pokemon sprite, but I think I'm going to try making the Welcome to Night Vale logo instead. And the enter it in a contest or something because CONTESTS!
Which reminds me: I need to look into vendor registration for that local speculative fiction convention. Maybe someone there will shell out for a dragon or two...
