    Behind the Scenes..

    Lots show the end result of their art, but how often do you really see the behind the scenes look into how they go about making them?

    So here you go! A wonderful behind the hook look hahaha!

    This body is now as big as my torso 😅 making it increasingly difficult to work up his tail and very slow going.

    Falkor is quite literally beating me up at this point every time I have to turn him.

    When artists claim their “blood, sweat and tears” went into something. Believe them! Now while I haven’t bled for him…yet…I’ve definitely been sweating and have for sure shed some tears of frustration 🤪

    On top of all that…I’ve had this head just chilling staring at me for days.

    He’s cute for sure, but it’s awkward just having his head just sitting there…watching me…waiting for his body 🫣

    I swear my guy, it’s coming!

    While working on this labor of love, I’ve restarted from the very beginning and have been binge watching ER. I remember way back forever ago when I was much much younger watching this show religiously with my Mom. I was so excited when I realized that HBO had the whole series available to stream.

    So this is what I’ll continue to be doing for the foreseeable future!

    What do you find yourself binge watching while you Work/Crochet?

    Just Another Update..

    Just a chugging away at his body! I’m doing it all as one piece as far as his body and tail goes. Will allow for the best and most consistent look overall.

    Hank the Giraffe

    Probably one of my more complicated and definitely the largest of my patterns to date. Hank is for sure a labor of love, but very much worth it!

    Just in time for Spooky Season!!! Jinx is one of my more simpler patterns, and works up super quick! Looks absolutely adorable in worsted weight, but just as cute in plush!

    Pinnacle Passion Top

    This was one of my first released wearable pattern! I still honestly use the bralette part of this pattern as a base for most of the tops I use when making my dresses.

    Fully tested pattern available for download below!

    I’ve decided that since my way of creating these works of art is way off the beaten path that they seem to be intimidating for many. So to offset the avoidance of paying for a pattern some don’t think they’re capable of doing, it is now available for everyone FREE!

    Falkor Cont.

    At this point there’s not really a whole lot more I can say currently on the process of working up Falkor.

    I’ve begun working up his body, and after discussing how to go about it with my wonderful customer for this custom. We’ve decided that he needs movement and not to just be a long straight log basically. So not only will I be making his body as accurately shaped as possible, I will also be adding some carving to his body to add even more realistic character to him!

    I hope you’re enjoying this journey just as much as I am! It’s also starting to feel a bit like my own Neverending Story hahaha!

    If you could request any custom make from me, what would it be?

  • He’s Glorious!

    He’s Glorious!

    From being pinned in place to everything being attached!

    At this point I almost wanted to just leave him as is, but I knew I would never be ok with that…So then came the most painstakingly terrifying hard part…The brushing!

    Brushing out my pieces that need fur or fuzz always makes me the most nervous. If I do to much I can very easily create a hole that there is no fixing. Meaning starting over completely was very much a possibility 😅

    Just BARELY under 13hrs into this guy and I can happily say I am DONE with his head!

    I’m ever so slightly debating adding just a couple teeth, but I think I might just leave him as is.

    We don’t need to go WAY over the top and extreme, but then again maybe we do 🤔

    It never ceases to amaze me the difference there is when brushing out yarn. Or the absolute insane life my 3D prints bring to a piece. Just, amazed!

  • Pure Chaotic Insanity!

    Pure Chaotic Insanity!

    Pushing the envelope and going WAY out of the box is just what I do!

    What you’re seeing is me printing onto tulle fabric…why? Because Falkor deserves to have his scales!

    So I tried something new…Honestly not knowing if it would even work and it did! And I am THRILLED!!

    We’ve reached a whole new level in the art of crochet at this point, and I’m not one bit upset about it.

    Just look at how amazing that is! I seriously can’t get over how these chaotic ideas are coming together to bring real life to this make! I’m just in awe and a bit of imposter syndrome to be honest. I did that! I’m doing this! Me, my brain, and my hands! Like…Just…WHAT?!

    Now onto the terrifying part (for me)

    Time to attach his ears, and the scales, and begin the loooong super time consuming job of brushing him out.

    The brushing part is what I’m super nervous to do. Once I start there’s no going back… If I mess up or overdo it, that’s it, I’ll have to start over.

    Wish me luck!

    I also did not add any of the print/design time for doing the scales to the timer for making Falkor. I’m only timing the physical aspects of crocheting, putting him together, and physical detailing. Basically if it’s printing related, I haven’t been counting it towards my final times.

    Take a good look at the before picture! Who’s excited to see the after when his head is fully complete?!
