Custom Order!!

I got two custom orders today. One was a customer who sent me a picture and wanted me to duplicate it. I finished it, and she was very happy with the result. The other is for a cute little elephant, which I will make tomorrow. I am always so glad to do custom orders. I find it challenging, and a bit nerve wracking too! But I have not had a complaint yet... so things are going well. Things went pretty good for a Monday! :)

A study in color continued

Well, as promised, here is the 4 bunnies all in different colors with some small changes. As you can see, it gives them each their own personalities! It also makes them look more like males or females. Color can be a great thing, so play with it, use different combinations, and have fun! Make them match, or contrast... the sky is the limit. I hope you like the bunnies, although I am sure that one particular color looks way better to you personally than another!

A study in color

I decided that I am going to do a study in color. I have my Etsy shop in which I have stated that I do custom orders, but have yet to receive one. I think people need to see how different colors can effect the same item, and give it a completely different feel. I am making three different colored Bunny Foo Foo bunnies to illustrate the changes made by simply changing the main or accent colors. The bunnies will all be a new color, with other slight changes. For instance, I will attach the bow in a different place, or move the arms slightly. The goal of this is to let people see the diversity of amigurumi crochet. You can take the same exact basic pattern, and create something completely unique to you.
This is something I find very fun to do, and somewhat challenging, so if your Etsy seller has that "request custom item" button.... use it! Challenge them a bit. Pick your colors, tell them you want the accessories a certain way... be creative! Match a bedroom, nursery, living room, or whatever!
I will be posting all 4 bunnies tomorrow, and you can see for yourself what a little color change can do for you :)

Etsy Shop

I am in limbo. I am not sure what to make next, but I do not want to loose momentum. I guess I should keep to my redo one, create new one trend going. I am very glad to not be using a cell phone for my pics, it is amazing how good those things don't look! I think all the color in the backgrounds is a lot more fetching than the boring black and white that I was using.

Etsy

So I have been seeing an increase in page views in my Etsy shop, still not doing anything really mentionable with it though. Maybe Things will start turning around. Would really be nice to have a countable income through it. The whole quit your day job thing lol

GIR

I finally did it, I broke down and made one of my favorite cartoon characters! I hope you guys like him! :D
He is for sale in my Etsy... so check him out! http://www.etsy.com/listing/68942580/gir-fan-art

new stuff

I am working on the most awesome creation yet.... GIR!!!! So far, he is coming out pretty good. Being a perfectionist, I wonder if I could have done this or that better, but Johnny likes him, so that is a start.I will probably be finished with him tonight, and therefore listing him as well.
Ok, perfectionist or not..... he is pretty cute :)
