Crow Doll

Working my way through creating all my fave animals... and obviously its CROW TIME.

This crow doll was drawn on the iPad, with the Apple Pencil, using the Procreate App. I did a test doll, then tweaked him a bit from this original drawing, making him a bit fatter.

 

I had the pattern printed on minky fabric, which is super soft and cuddly. I use this for all my dolls right now because it just feels so great.

 

 

He is a two sided doll, the back and front are the same except for the heart on his bum with my label. Its part of the doll, not an added label. The tail usually hangs down and covers it though. 

 

His best part is his Edward Gorey sneakers.  Fashioned after The Doubtful Guest I think.

He is entirely made by hand. I cut the pattern parts, sew and stuff each one in my studio. Hi is about 18 inches wide (45 cm wide)

If you are interested in buying one of these dolls, I tend to make small batches at a time. If its currently sold out on Etsy, you can make a restock request by clicking "Let me know when it's back" and you will get an email when I make more.

Its 2019, almost 2020.

Been a while.

I have been thinking a bit about how things I make and sell on Etsy, or post on instagram are sort of impermanent, hard to point people towards. I used to upload to places like flickr, or here on this blog, even tumblr (RIP good tumblr) and they had a long life. I still get hits coming from blog posts I made years and years ago. So why didn't I keep doing it?

As I have sort of changed from making one of a kind things to plush dolls and other decor that are not one of a kind, it makes sense to have places that continue to exist so people can actually find me. Maybe some people's Pinterest pins will actually link to things I sell and people will actually be able to buy things.

Anyway, this is maybe like life #5 or 6 or something of this blog. I think I may just post new items I make and sell on Etsy (I have two shops now) So many of the items I will post about now are going to be available,so check my etsy shops or other links because you will be able to actually get your own if you like. Thanks for reading a blog, in 2019, almost 2020.
