I've been commissioned to re-create the animals from Mark Ryden's painting "Sophia's Mercurial Waters"

Flying Monkey!!

I was commissioned by Grenadine Supreme (Ion) to do a tiny blue Wizard of Oz flying monkey for his Blythe...I was sooooo excited to try it and he turned out pretty well I think....I hate to send him on his way!Flying_monkey_1_large

First In a New Series!

I've been meaning for a long time to make a series of tiny mohair bears to be companions for Blythe dolls, Lati dolls, and Dal dolls. I had done teeny cherry koolaid bears a while back, and I loved them...they're kind of threadbare and a little sad. Here was the first:

Second Teeny Cherry Mouse

I loved making the mice even smaller...thought it would be harder but he almost looks better tiny.

Ds Müüsli

I was asked to do a 2.5 inch teeny weeny mohair mouse by Annina in Sweden...I've never shrunk the pattern that far down, but wqanted to try...and to my surprise and excitement, it worked GREAT! It was so fun, and I almost like the look of the tiny size better than the bigger ones I've made.
