Kewpie Madness

Recently The Impatient Blogger, Margot Potter issued a super awesome kewpie challenge !! It sounded like fun to me and a chance at something a little different, so I jumped at the chance!

I started off trying to plan out something a little different, looking for a real challenge even for myself, and came up with the idea of doing a 2 headed kewpie. So of course, I had to start with disembodying the little cuties before I could reasemble them into what would beccome Pip and Pauline, so with a very sharp exacto and a steady hand I set to work.

After that I diligently worked to piece them together using a tad of super sculpey, and then off they went on a voyage to the oven! (Don't worry they made it out okay! ) Then they got their personalities, with a hip new paint job , .. and some under clothes, cause I got tired of looking at them nakie hehe.. Next came the real fun!!

The whole task was to dress up your kewpie, so of course I couldn't just leave them in their undies!! It was kinda hard to design a dress to fit around 2 heads and 4 arms but somehow I managed it!

Along with all the little extras, such as a pretty bead bracelet, the mandatory pretty pink pigtails for Pip, and their very own custom made parasol!!

They took a bit longer to make than I thought they would, but I think they turned out great! It makes me want to make more cutesy little custom things! But maybe in a few months.. Right now I have knitting to do and Cans to paint :D Keep watch for more on these projects to come!




The End.

BlueBird, bluebird sitting on my window..

Well I've been playing around with a new concept lately.. Plush and paint on canvas.. True you can't cuddle the stuffy wuff like you'd usually be able to, but it's still a pleasure to look at.

I've always thought of my plush things more as art than a play thing, and with this I can add even more to them than just buttons and embroidery, go beyond embellishments into uncharted territories!! lol I know it seems silly, but it's fun nevertheless, and I intend on having all sorts of fun playing around with my new found medium love!



So onto the actual art, this is a 6x12in canvas, with acrylic paint and some shiny gold acrylics too! The plush part is made of fleece, printed cottons, buttons (cause we all know I love buttons!) and embroidery. I need to take some better pictures I know, if anyone has any pointers feel free to share! I promise I don't bite!

Hopefully I should be able to create more art soon, There was a sale on canvas at my local store, so I got some larger pieces to work with! I have quite a few ideas lined up so hopefully they will come easily into fruition. :)

Well seems as if I've run out of time, must get back to the real world, no more pretty colors and pin pricks for me until maybe tonight :) And with this I must leave you all with a little music :)

Hello blogspot!

Well hello there world, donno what to make of this blogging stuff, but it gives me something to do I suppose.

I do have a livejournal ( www.anvikit.livejournal.com )account although I don't write much in it, just post when I have new pictures. I'd like to get more active with my art and go more in depth with it and felt that a new place, a new start might do me some good.

Expect plenty of art, possibly some of my own insights and thoughts just from day to day life I suppose.

Well I suppose I will leave this short and sweet for now, feel free to say hello.
