Piglet and Steak

A couple of weeks ago I found the Manga/Anime Tegami Bachi (Letter Bee) and just had to make Steak.
Steak is part of the team, but is also Niche's dinner. She thinks steak will be delicious, and multiple times she has already tried to fry him. Frying steak luckily only leads to him having a perm for a short while. Steak also points out the weak points of Gaishuu and always sits on Niche's head. Steak is basically a one big mouth and white fur ball, so Kawaii!!
I made the pattern myself : D





I also made a wee piglet amigurumi : 3 also my own pattern, but the idea came from Elisabeth Doherty's book.

The world of crocheted birds

Since a couple of days I have a wee shop on etsy.com. It is called OokamiArt and you can find it here. Currently I have two items for sale. The first one is a Water Dragon from an anime (Kemono no Souja Erin), this was basically a try out. The other item is a male Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis). Lately I have been finding it very enjoyable to crochet birds. I love birds, but I was always very frustrated at the fact that I somehow couldn't draw or paint them. However in crochet it is going perfectly. The first one was a little Robin for my mum, the second one a Crow for my fiancee (Yes, Chris and I are now engaged *JOY*). The latest addition to the family was the Cardinal that I am selling. In between I also worked on another winged critter, a dragon (an Epic Amigurumi). Next up I want to make some small White crested laughing thrushes :)

Here are some pictures of my creations, I hope you like them.






This item is FOR SALE

The official burupya plush ^O^

Finally after a lot of digging on Japanese web pages I found some pictures of the official Burupya plush. I am probably Burupya's biggest fan ^_^
For those of you who do not have a clue what I am talking about, here is a short explenation. Burupya is a small pink dragon from the manga 07-Ghost. Since a couple of weeks there is also a anime out which follows the manga quite closely. Burupya is not the main character of the story but is on virtually every page as he is the reincarnation of a close friend (Mikage) of the main character (Teito). I absolutely adore this little guy and love the story. I am already thinking up how the make the outfit to be able to cosplay from this manga ^o^ which will mean I will have to cross dress. Luckily being a girl I can quite get away with cosplaying a man ^_^
My version of Burupya in chrochet can be found a few posts down.
Anyway, here are the pictures and the link to the page on which I found them.





It is a bit unfortunate that the ears are not as long as in the manga :S but than again long ears have a lot of weight and they won't sit up easily.





These pictures were not taken by me, they came from this page. If you are interested in what it says and you cannot read japanese, but do have Firefox, than try the ad-on Rikai-chan.

Ow btw I have actually finnished a cosplay costume from the movie Azumi. Just click on the link on the right side to go to my deviant-art Gallery ^_^ to see it.

Spidery laptop sleeve

Ok, yet another crafty thing I did. It had been really long since i embroidered something and this wee project gave me the perfect opportunity to try it again. Since Chris bought a dell mini 9 a couple of weeks back I wanted to make a wee bag for it. I still had some slightly velour curtain fabric laying around in a nice bright olive/spring green. And because it is to protect a laptop I thought of putting some spiders on it, preferably venomous ones :) So a Brown Recluse and a Black Widow represent that group. The third one I let Chris choose himself, so that became a Orb Weaver. The flap closes by use of a big button and in between the two layers of fabric I sewed a plastic bag for water tightness. Although I don't think you can still call it watertight, probably more a water sifter after I finished all the embroidery on it :S

Burupya

Onegai, meet Burupya :)
This little guy is a character from the manga (and soon to be anime) 07 Ghost.
He is about 30 cm high including the ears. I did not intend on using two colours of wool, but ran out of one, so had to continue with the other.
The ears and wings are held up by thin wire.
