Burl

So when I said you would see Burl in my shop very very soon, I really meant very very soon! Burl will be making it to Stelabird.etsy.com TODAY!!
I made a couple more last night and was very pleased with them.
And since it's cold here in Oklahoma I decided they needed a scarf to keep them warm.



I hope you love them as much as I do.
Have an enjoyable Thursday everyone!
What are your plans for the day?
Mine are putting Burl in the shop and making new items for Dwelling Spaces.

Introducing... Again...

On January 14, 2008, I introduced Mr. Squirrel...a print I made


Well, on January 21, 2009 I FINALLY did what I planned to do last year...

Make a 2-D version of Mr. Squirrel!! Or, now, Burl.


First step, find the perfect music &
draw the little guy.
I listened to Animal Collective's new album Merriweather Post Pavilion. I'm obsessed with their song My Girls. The whole album is really great, so be sure to check it out.


Next, draw the pattern & cut out



Sew



Stuff


I would like to introduce you to Burl





This is my very first attempt at my plush squirrel so I imagine him improving over the days as I practice making more. The first Burl is not for sale, he will be my buddy. But you will be seeing a Burl in the shop very very soon.

So, Meet Burl
He worries more than is needed
He enjoys black coffee
He hoards; pencils, acorns, cake, music. You name it, he hoards it
He loves to play keys


He's pleased to meet you.

**EDIT**
I have been informed that today is Squirrel Appreciation Day!!! How awesome is that!! In 2001, Christy Hargrove from Asheville, North Carolina started Squirrel Appreciation Day on January 21. Christy is a wildlife rehabilitator in North Carolina, and is affiliated with the Western North Carolina Nature Center.
So, feed your neighborhood squirrel, swerve when you see them in the street, be pleasant with the Burls. Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day.

incognito yeti ghost!

You know Snood? That computer game from back in the day? Well, I've been playing it a lot lately and I'm obsessed! It's too much fun for me. Anyways, one of the characters reminds me of a yeti so I've had yetis on my mind. So I had to make one!

Grr, he's angry! Don't let his rosy cheeks fool you!

I also made incognito sunglasses holder




AND I'm starting to prepare for what I'm going to sell for the halloween season.
Baby boo will be available!!


I'm in dire need of new business cards! I've made my own in the past but I would love more professional ones! I just don't know where to get them. Where do you get your business cards?!

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

This is my first attempt at a plush robot! Doesn't he look like he wants a hug!
He also kinda looks like a cheesy super hero. Kinda.
