Rita: the Unhappy Button Child
Didn't take too long to make, and I'm quite pleased with it. I need to take into account stitching techniques ready for the next one, and take care to avoid getting hot glue all over my fingers... because it hurts like a bitch.
I followed this tutorial http://lori-la-tortuga.deviantart.com/art/CHIBI-PLUSH-TUTORIAL-101728424
On a different subject, I'm extremely relieved that the first year of university is pretty much over, not only because I now have spare time to just flop about like a potatoe, but it means that hopefully there will be some sort of a step-up in how the course runs. I feel that the first year was a bit of an unorganized mess, and a waste of most of the money spent on it, but fingers crossed that the second year is where it's at.

This is fucking awesome. I just read the tutorial, it's pretty simple and well written! I think I might make one myself. I did one for my final piece for the Monster Munch project but it didn't turn out too well. Oh well, trial, error and practice! You should get an Etsy store or something!
Heee, thank you! Yeah, the tutorial is very easy, I was really surprised! I'm gonna maybe try a different kind since they don't take long to do at all.
Yeah, I did one for that project, but it's sorta looking a little like a kitchen towel, lol.
Yeah, I think I might make a store as soon as I've made a few more. Guess it can't hurt. You should make one!!! You have such cute illustrations, they'll be really popular!
Oh, did you get everything done and handed in alright?
Yup, got everything done and dusted - was so relieved to hand it in! Did you get everything done? Feel like I have so much free time on my hands now!
Whooo, good good! Yeah, I managed to get everything done, so glad! I know what you mean, it felt awesome getting rid of the stuff, lol. Yeah, same here, it's nice being able to just have the liberty of being able to do whatever. All I've been doing is plushies, they're kind of addictive. But very bad for an already screwed back after a last minute coursework rush.
You got anything planned to be getting on with?
I want to enter competitions over the summer, keeps me working to briefs and if I win I get money or prizes, if not then at least I've made a piece of work! I want to also do some kind of visual journal of my summer - we're also getting some kind of summer project so they'll be that to get on with as well! I wanna make more plushies, I've always wanted to get good at making them, I've made many crappy attempts in the past and want to at least make them look decent!
