Apologies for the lack-of-email checking, the lack of posting, and the seeming lack of working on plushie/hat orders.
I assure you that it has simply been a busy season of work for both teaching (my full-time semester job in my last year of college) and for sewing. I have worked on a number of unposted projects in the last 15 days which I'm attempting to post now. Many of them are for people who insist I cannot post pictures of the work (so I don't).
Some I've just been lazy about posting/haven't been totally satisfied with the product yet to merit posting it quite yet.
That having been said, this here is a Hippogrif, the likes of that found in the magical world of Harry Potter. It was made for my roommate's birthday. I do loves her so, so it was my pleasure to create this for her. <3]]>Pokemon: Shiney Luxio Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:88392c24-8c6c-e959-96fa-db0f1fa9554b2007-10-04T21:24:50-07:00^___^
I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. I'm so sorry!!!
I'm NOT sorry for how much fun I had making this plushie! it truly was a pleasure to make this Shiney Luxio plushie for joumuu!
(I hope you like it!)]]>Pokemon: Electrike Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:269a4e70-847a-404a-a922-7191d16fd3322007-09-11T13:47:32-07:00Made for heerosferret
I'm proud to present another pokemon plushie. This one is only 6" long (about 4-5" tall).
I'm rather pleased with its body shape, although I had to redo the head a few times before I decided it was at a good size proportion for its body. <3
I rather like this little Pokemon. I hope you do too, Gin!]]>HPDH: Snape Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:a8713c80-232d-cc57-f405-366398b9bc942007-08-31T14:11:39-07:00Harry Potter was a great read. For all those who haven't read the series (including the last book), I recommend doing so.
This image (and the plushie) is a very mild spoiler, but I feel like any other words I add on the subject will certainly ruin the surprises.
Here are some pictures of a plush Snape sitting in solitude, casting his Patronus: a doe.
"Always..."
I'm putting him up for sale. If anyone is interested in buying him, please send me an email (plushieprincess@gmail.com) to make me an offer.]]>TP: Midna Plushie 2.0 by VesteNotusurn:uuid:9bd67cd4-782b-c270-7f82-d4e4140ad8692007-08-30T15:11:08-07:00So finally, after working on this for a month-and-a-half, I finished the Midna plushie I was asked to make.
Though I'm sad/angry at myself for taking so long, I'm glad I did. I remade the body 2ce and the crown a total of 4 times. So this really is the top-of-the-line for right now.
The crown was lovingly assembled piece by god-fearing piece, sprayed with copper metal spraypaint and then texturized with a golden rocky spraypaint to really make the crown look stoney. The effect is largely lost in the photos, but the end result is a crown that feels stoney and has an underlying metalic sheen.
I also hand-painted her markings, rather than embroider them as I'll be the first to admit that my embroidery skills leave something to be desired, but I can paint well enough.]]>Fire Emblem: Ray Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:fbea3d15-9a87-5f51-c659-2f42f5b79f2e2007-08-24T12:39:54-07:00Made for AniMMO
Again, the world of Fire Emblem contains many characters who may either look alike or... let's face it, look like carbon copies of one another. That having been said, there is a reason this one looks so profoundly like my Lugh plushie. That reason being that Ray and Lugh are apparently brothers.]]>Seto Kaiba Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:50c5a76b-dc19-c8b7-a847-531e6346a6652007-08-24T08:03:34-07:00Made for KateRyou
Seto Kaiba now marks the 3rd Yu Gi Oh! plushie I've made, but interestingly enough, the first I've made from the original series (which I've never seen).
...yes, I have seen Yu Gi Oh! GX. I don't know what the GX stands for.
I'll admit - I had him mostly finished for quite a while now, but rush jobs or projects with approaching deadlines kinda put him on the backburner for a while. All I really needed to do was to his detailing, which in total only took about half an hour!]]>Miles Edgeworth Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:a36cba04-cda8-1451-b6f9-abc6e91b69652007-08-05T17:05:45-07:00Jyoshiki commissioned me to make a plushie from the game Phoenix Wright: Miles Edgeworth.
He looks like a pretty smug guy in all the reference images I've seen, so I made his facial expression equally as smug. I've never played the game, but I guess it's pretty popular.]]>FF6: Kefka Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:3781dc38-6e18-63f0-8fbd-2c9c76dea8ca2007-08-02T17:32:38-07:00Holy smokes! Making a Kefka plushie took a butt-load out of me.
By Kefka's laugh, it was a good ride though. Kefka is from Final Fantasy 6 and made for a student of mine.]]>Young Itachi Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:f74d2a55-b979-ed9d-e42b-880c2721f29c2007-08-02T17:28:28-07:00Made for a student of mine, this is an 8" plushie of a young Itachi from Naruto.
I think it came out rather well. I'm awfully fond of the 8" plushies. They're quicker to make, though if you've got a detailed pattern, some of the details get lost.]]>Ichigo Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:619a5596-222f-cd62-39f8-95b6206d20342007-08-02T17:27:00-07:00A student of mine came over to my workroom for advanced sewing lessons.
Together, we made an Ichigo plushie (by her request). She sewed a fair deal of this guy. I helped her along and, because we had run out of time, quickly sewed up a jacket, sword, and holster.
She did a very good job - I was impressed with how quickly she picked up plushie-making!]]>Lugh Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:00acc2c8-0e68-bc87-a5ca-77e7ae740bac2007-07-26T05:25:41-07:00Made for AniMMO, a student of mine, I now present thee Lugh from the Fire Emblem series!
...but god help me if I can remember which one! Honestly, I tell ya - each FE game has a bagillion characters, many of whom begin to look the same when you consider that there are only SO MANY different kinds of outfits that look "time-era appropriate".
>__<;;
I burned my finger pretty bad on this when I was hot gluing some of the pieces down, so please enjoy it if not for it being a plushie than, at very least, out of sympathy/pity.]]>Pokemon: Vaporeon Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:03495318-6f7a-e6b3-e4b9-d9d5916eae5c2007-07-21T13:09:30-07:00Oh MAAAAN!
Only 1 more Eevolution left to make!
That having been said, I've been getting unusually restless in my quest to make a Vaporeon...
So instead of making it with my typical "standing up feral plushie pose", I tried to make my Vaporeon sitting up.
...Also, I made my Vaporeon a lot bigger than the others. This plushie is 32" long from nose to tail and 18" tall from foot to err... frilly thing on its head.

This is an early birthday present for a friend of mine! Happy early birthday!!]]>Naruto Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:4a373c8b-7065-58ca-e84e-3c06c6f4b1132007-07-08T14:59:47-07:00Hurray! As only a few people know, Naruto was going to be my first plushie I ever made... but in the end, I decided to make Beastboy from Teen Titans instead.
Good thing too, because Naruto was VERY tough to make!
IWannaPierceMyBrain commissioned me to make Naruto and Hinata plushies for him.
Having cut up and remade the old Hinata Plushie, I'm now actually very proud of the set of them.
Interesting facts about my Naruto plushie:
** He has his "seal" painted onto his belly
** Naruto's hair was originally pieces of white fur. I followed some very sound advice from :iconichigo-pan43: *ichigo-pan43, who helped me figure out a good way to dye hair. <3]]>FF: Blue Chocobo Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:04e515da-0977-6179-ab09-a03739c686b42007-07-05T21:06:55-07:00I finished this fella and immediately handed it off to my buddy Xuui, who came home after living in FL for all of the year.
I initially made my blue chocobo with the intention of selling it on ebay, but I'm rather happy that its now my buddy's.
^___^
When she came to my house, it didn't have feet... and she said she liked it so much so I worked as fast as I could to finish it before she left! <3]]>Pokemon: Jolteon Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:76d36547-c97a-e795-6d99-00650af6d5af2007-07-04T17:03:17-07:00*Wild Jolteon appeared!*
haha, seriously, I could NOT have found a better fabric to make Jolteon with! It's all needly with a real cool feel to it! The best part of it is that, despite my having taken pictures of Jolteon in the rain, the fabric barely felt wet and dried in a snap! ...a Pokemon snap?? <-- sorry, I needed to throw in a lame joke right there.
I'm pretty pleased with how this l'ill fella came out, even though it looks an awful lot like a yellow bunny! ^___^;;

Now, I know I personally didn't like Majora's Mask NEARLY as much as I liked Ocarina of Time, that didn't mean that Majora's Mask was a BAD game. On the contrary. However, this l'il fella's in-game equivalent has driven me to the brink of insanity! Kafei's mask is one of the harder masks to get, rivaled only by the pig mask, MAYBE.
But it was worth the work in the end. The Fierce Deity mask was awesome!!]]>Pokemon: Jigglypuff Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:859cfdb4-2a7a-300e-e450-e7416c32388c2007-06-29T07:39:22-07:00In the words of Alakazzandra "What the puff?"
^___^ What the puff indeed!
In exchange for coding my website, alakazzandra kindly offered that I simply make her a life size Jigglypuff.
I hope this is to your liking!]]>Pokemon: Eevee Plushie by VesteNotusurn:uuid:58ebccef-d901-243d-c397-662dd1a59e232007-06-29T07:27:45-07:00Wild Eevee appeared!
...well, not really...
I really didn't like my Eevee plushie at first, but as soon as I put on its eyes, I warmed up to it a bit. I have a ton of this beautiful, rich, brown fur fabric that I adore. It's a bit of a pain to sew on the sewing machine, but I'm really glad I had the opportunity to use it to make Eevee!

That having been said, it was really hard to get good night photos and unfortunately this was the best I could do.
:(
I'm really pleased with how Umbreon came out. I made it while I was making my Espeon plushie and for whatever reason just didn't finish it until today. Though the fur fabric I used shed like you wouldn't believe all over the place, it's actually really soft and cuddly, so naturally I love snuggling up to it! haha

I worked really hard to get this plushie finished with enough daylight left to take some decent photos. ...Especially since this is a daylight pokemon!!
This is also one of 2 eevee evolution plushies I've been working on simultaneously. I'll finish the other one later tonight. It's a secret which one of the eevee evolutions it is though... *shifty eyes*

...and now that I made one, I might feel compelled to make the bunch of Eevee evolutions... because I am both lame and sadistic.
Taking the pictures for this plushie was especially entertaining. I felt like I was playing Pokemon Snap all over again!

Commissioned by Case-Chan this plush represents a day's worth of work!
I'd been waiting for the fabric to come in the mail for some time... When I finally had all the materials I needed, I whipped up this plushie as fast as I could!
Momo, the lemur from Avatar, is a very fun character, so I tried my best to make it look as accurate as possible with the best materials possible. It even has retractable suede wings.
I'm just so happy with it!]]>
