HEY I'M BACK (kinda)

I took a long hiatus from commissions, but I've still been crafting. This is the only finished thing I want to share: a fully custom, handmade plush of Cheshire from Bayonetta: Origins. I loved this game! It was so good! So I made him and now I can keep him.

Almost all the fabrics in this plush were custom printed by me via sublimation. He has a baby rattle in his head and is very floppy.

Another commission done! This is a handmade fumo of the client's OC. It features custom sublimated tattoos/tights, posable wings and a tail, and she has a plastic skeleton so she can sit or stand!

everyone, meet CHIPS!

chips is a handmade alien clown puppet, my first ever puppet i made entirely on my own! he has a huge mouth plate with a collapsing eye in the center, two controllable arms, and he's just a silly little guy!

more info as to how i made it below if any fellow puppet makers are curious :~)

some specs:

the puppet's shell is entirely 1/2" reticulated foam, pattern drafted by me. the mouthplate is 1/8" plywood covered in 2mm eva foam. all the teeth, tongue, and texture-y detail in the mouth is foam clay! the eye in the mouth's center is a series of five wire arches hinged together with thread, covered in painted muslin! so it folds flat like an accordion when you close the mouth.

the mouth was primed with a mix of black and white plastidip to give it a speckled look, then painted with multiple thin layers of fabric paint. i sealed it all with angelus high gloss leather sealant (because it's what i had).

the puppet's arms contain shoelaces that feed through holes in the body and shirt and tie internally so that they are removable. each "hand" has a leather pocket hidden in the foam seam for the arm rod to be inserted. the arm rod, not pictured, is made of wood dowel and a wire coat hanger bent straight.

as for covering, i used joann's anti pill fleece in solid white and black. to get the stars, i used artesprix black sublimation paint (which is notably NAVY and not black...) on some sublimation paper to paint stars first. then, i cut them out and individually sublimated every single star onto the fleece with a heat press. this took a long time, but it came out super clean!

the fake button eyes and his crown are made of worbla, painted and sealed with a glossy acrylic medium.
