Magic Rabbit Fiber Arts @magicrabbitfiberarts - Tumblr Blog

I'm Commander Shepherd, and this is my favorite Fiber Arts shop on the Citadel. Okay, not really. This pair of gloves were made as a commission, with a self-drafted double stitch design on a pure black glove. I had SO much fun working on this, even if I'm not entirely happy with the actual look of the design - guess that means I have to work a smaller gauge.

These are available at my shop, over at www.magicrabbitfiberarts.com I want to note that I am a disabled POC artist, so any commissions or ideas you have I'm super happy to work with. Stuff like this is a blast.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of decoden and polymer clay questions about what to use to as a gloss/glaze. Almost every time the first response is “Clear nail polish, duh!”.

This needs to stop if people want to be creating quality items. Sometimes I’m afraid to buy handmade things for fear that they have been sealed with clear nail polish and they will deteriorate over time. I want to buy things that will last!

I’ve reblogged this before - but it’s sooooo important. crafting signal boost

Oh jeez, I didn’t even know that was a thing. No - never use nail polish thats a horrible idea.

I've been transitioning to using UV resin to seal in, but in a pinch I have sculpey glaze SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS.

Listen, I really appreciate that in the HP inspired post you made, you did acknowledge the JK Rowling thing and specify that you don't condone her or her actions. But I'm very glad that post has no notes. It doesn't deserve any. I feel you should take it down and stop offering those, but, that's just some anon's opinion. Love your other work, I genuinely hope to see you grow and use your art for good.

I'm a transmasc poc, so lord knows I'm not the terf's favorite type of person. However i also know that there are those who still have really good memories and experiences with that brand.

I was conflicted on whether or not to post it at all because of this, and i can't even go out in my loyal badger stuff anymore but for those who want it...it's there. I appreciate the post, and I'll think about it. I don't have too many other offerings right now so perhaps once i build up my catalog, it can quietly go away.

Pride Foxes!

My friend @tabbiewolfreblogs has been working on their pride fox stuff, and it's freaking adorable. (I adorn my workspace with plushies, and their pride fox plush is one that looks over me as I go about my business. <3 Along with Eevee.) I came across these images of a custom Pride Fox scarf I made for them almost three years ago. Looking at it now, I REALLY want to give it another shot, because I initially wanted to make the body a plushie and make the tail the scarf. I think I can get close to something like that. But for 2020 just-beginning-to-do-fiber-arts me? I still think it's pretty good. <3

I would like to re-point folks towards my friend, because they have a new project coming up! Go support them!

Princesses of Power

So here's a design I completed but honestly I'm still unsure about. It involves a LOT of double stitch, to the point I'm tempted to learn colorwork just to complete it faster. That would, of course, make it thicker, and thus warmer. That said, this design is one I'm INCREDIBLY proud of. It is self-drafted, and was inspired by She-Ra and the Princesses of Power show on Netflix. This is still available, but on a one-at-a-time basis specifically due to the amount of work involved. Still. I think it's gorgeous.

Magical House Gloves

Look. We all hate JKR, aka. Transphobe McGee. But I can't deny the impact that the books had on my life. I don't promote these often but I do still offer Magical House Gloves in movie and book accurate colors. So. Decide where you want to be in Pimplepig. <3

Pride Scarves!

I really love working on these scarves - initially I was happy to simply work with the interplay of color while challenging myself with a twill pattern to help make the scarves drape better.

I started with Ace Pride, because it's so often overlooked and Ace people are often excluded from queer spaces, despite being queer themselves. This came to me as both obvious enough to those in the know, but subtle enough that those not in the know would simply see something (hopefully) sophisticated.

The Bi flag being only three colors presented a different kind of design challenge but I really like it - it looks less like a plain plaid and more like a tartan. <3

The beautiful pastel number is, of course, the trans pride flag. Somehow, despite being five rows, it still comes out looking more like a tartan and less like a plaid. Once I was satisfied with the color interplay, I began moving into weave structure, interlacing it with different lace structures. I really love working on these, though I only take a few at a time to keep from being burned out. If you have any questions or comments on the items, please feel free to comment! If you'd like to look into a scarf of your own, well....Magic Rabbit Fiber Arts is here.

So I was actually thinking of extending my pride series to like...shoelaces and fingerless mitts and stuff. Thoughts?

Bishoujou Senshi Sailor Moon!

I LOVE Sailor Moon. I've loved it ever since I accidentally caught an episode early one Saturday morning in the mid 90's. When I first had the idea to begin Magic Rabbit Fiber Arts, this was one of the first designs I conceived of. With some judicious use of duplicate stitching, the design came together well and I figured I could do all the Senshi. All except.....

That Brooch. That. Brooch. And so, I added clay to my fiber arts!

While not perfect, these are SUPER soft and comfy. I've got some prototypes in the works for the other Senshi, and in fact have produced some combination mitts already!

And of course, we respect true love in this house, and as such these two are also an item:

I truly love making these, and would love to make you a pair! If you're interested, feel free to head over to Magic Rabbit Fiber Arts or ping me here. We can make amazing art together.

magicrabbitfiberarts

I'm thinking of working on the clay brooch design for Sailormoon's glove. I love the manga brooch so much.

Bluey?

This is a prototype I worked on. I love the show Bluey. (It's so wholesome!) but I also know that just because I'd like something like this doesn't mean others want it. What do you guys think? Worth making for more than just myself?

A note, because this needs to be said:

So. I have some 'Splanin' to do! Many of you commissioned me for pieces about three years ago. I was *SLAMMED* with orders, so many I got overwhelmed. I have been, and will continue to do my best to give refunds to those that request them. However I am currently out of work and working on getting on some type of disability, and my ability to fulfill refunds is currently limited. I *do* still have the list of those who have ordered from me, and I am happy to work with folks as I can.

That said....due to said medical leave and the acquisition of a new loom I am looking into re-opening my business. If you need to contact me, please e-mail or DM me here. I will do my utmost to do right by everyone who ordered a piece from me, even if it means dedicating a portion of future profits to refunds. I'm so sorry. I ask for patience and grace, though I deserve neither. Look for a new site and pieces soon. <3

Just WHM problems

On the loom right now, I am sampling some ideas for mug rugs. Overshot is not my forte, but when I came up with the idea for these mug rugs, attempting it was a MUST. Traditionally, when one does Overshot they use a thicker yarn for the design. I can see it a few ways, but you guys tell me. Which do you prefer as a design for mug rugs? What would you change?
