As a bowl, or a cone... neopolitan baphomet 🍨 (and tattoo reveal!)

I finished up this fella today.. neopolitan ice cream baphomet! 🍨 when patterning their torch as seen in the standard version I kept thinking about ice cream.. so I decided to make an ice cream version LOL. the pattern for the ice cream cone crown will be included with the pattern on august 31! This version also shows off what the pattern looks like without the breasts. Reminder this is the ...

August pattern reward - Build A Baphomet

Here's my completed baphomet, which was chosen as August's pattern reward for the first halloween themed month! You will need to pledge to the $5 pattern tier or $10 tier from Aug 1 - Aug 31 to receive this reward on Aug 31 (July's reward is the platypus pattern!)
As the name implies they are build a bear sized and fit well in BaB clothes (at least the ones I had that I could test! Not sure how variable the clothes are nowadays). They are entirely machine sewn and while there's a lot of pa...

Build A Baphomet head

I've been working on a completed prototype of the baphomet pattern for august. I wanted to test the head first in case I needed to remake it, since it was one of the items that needed the most pattern adjustments from my minky prototype! The head won't be sewn separately like this during assembly.

He's just a platypus. They don't do much

Here's the final platypus I made for instructions photos... perry! I was lucky to find this hat that fit him pretty well!
This pattern will release on July 31 to $5 pattern & 10 patrons. I'll be working on the instructions for the rest of the month along with the baphomet pattern!

Build a baphomet progress

Happy friday eve! I finished up a machine sewn draft of the baphomet pattern. Even though the final plush will use a variety of fabrics, i made an all-minky version since it's much easier to see how well the pattern is fitting together.
They're missing their wings but they will be easily sewn into darts in the back! The first photo shows some photoshopping I did for edits I plan to make, mainly to the head - although there are still some minor edits I need to make to the body, too. And whe...

First look at baphomet 🐐

Hey all, hope you had a great weekend!
I'm still waiting on fabric to finish up the plush for the platypus instructions so I started work on the baphomet pattern reward for august! I wasnt planning on them being build a bear style but.. it just kinda happened while working on the pattern! Build A Baphomet! 🤣
I plan on using a variety of materials for this plush including 3mm and 1mm minky, mochi, faux fur, and luxe cuddle/rabbit minky.

A very fluffy platypus!

Hey all, happy Friday!
Here's a fluffy platypus I made to test out this pattern in luxe cuddle minky! It makes him extra huggable 🦆 reminder this pattern comes out July 31!
I ordered some fabric for the platypus I'll be making for the instructions. While I wait I'll be working on the baphomet pattern for August! Since I'm taking around a week off for dragoncon at the end of August I'm going to make sure I have everything done well in advance. I also want to get started on dittos for ...

Coneflower mantis 🌸

Here's the mantis baby I made for the pattern instructions photos, inspired by the colors of my favorite plant.. the purple coneflower!
I'll be finishing the orchid mantis, instructions, taking more mantis photos, and starting the platypus pattern for July next week. I'll be taking the next 3 days off for the elden ring dlc! Hope any of you playing it enjoy, and have a good weekend everyone!

Orchid mantis wip

Hey all, happy Friday! I was hoping to get this girl finished today but alas, the patterning process always takes way longer than I expect 🥲 so have an unstuffed progress pic! I'll be finishing her early next week and then working on one more for the instructions photo, which will be inspired by my favorite flower! Would love to see some mantises inspired by your favorite flowers when the pattern releases! 🌸👀
Have a great weekend!

Another praying mantis friend!

here's the second completed mantis! i've been working on getting him entirely machine sewn, which i was successful in doing! (as long as you choose to joint the arms, otherwise they'll need to be hand sewn on). he can also stand on his own with the help of some glass beads in his butt.

i still have some tweaks i need to make to the pattern so i'll be making at least one, but probably 2 more mantises before the pattern releases on june 30!

Halloween/fall pattern suggestions

it's never too early for halloween! 👻🎃🦇
