Multi's Artsy, Crafty Blog

Here are answers to some questions you might have about my plushie-making hobby, as well as some that should be useful to anyone who owns a plushie I made. I hope you find them helpful and if you have a question that's not listed here, feel free to ask and maybe I'll add it to this post! ;)

Hi everyone! :wave: If you remember my last two blog posts, they were about Floppy Puppies, some cute plush puppies I've been making from a pattern I made. Well, I have now made three more of them, and I'd like to introduce you to them! (Also, if you haven't seen the first two, Rosey and Thistle, you can see them here: [URL="https://www.christianforums.com/blogs/floppy-puppy-free-pattern.59479/"]Floppy Puppy - Free Pattern! | Christian Forums[/URL]) This is Amber, made from pink and white rose minky, with fleece eyes and nose and a necklace of...

Hi! Just wanted to give you all a small update on my Floppy Puppies from my last blog entry: [URL="https://www.christianforums.com/blogs/floppy-puppy-free-pattern.59479/"]Floppy Puppy - Free Pattern! | Christian Forums[/URL] I've decided I'd like to make some more Floppy Puppies sometime of different sizes, fabrics, and colors! It will be fun. :) I've already made one at 100% size and one at 150% size, so it would be nice to maybe make some at 125%, 175%, and 200% (those last two would be quite large, though!). I recently bought some pretty beads...

August 29, 2018 Update: I made a few more edits to the pattern and updated the tutorial so that the puppies will be easier to make and will have some more options. Hey guys! I finally decided to try making my first ever shared plushie pattern, and this is the result of that attempt. I call this the "Floppy Puppy"! It's a free pattern, so if you sew plushies at all you can make your own Floppy Puppies right away! :) Here's the pattern: [URL]https://i.imgur.com/HqRhQoD.png[/URL] - Head and ears...

Part 6: Other Hobbies So, in the first five parts of this blog series I talked about my main creative hobbies, but there are still a few minor creative hobbies I have that I don't do as often. I'll conclude this series by describing them a little bit. -Clay Modeling- I got into clay modeling when I was eight years old, though I did make a few clay models before that. At first, my clay models were solid-colored and simple, but soon I began to make them multicolored. In November 2009 I tried...

Part 5: Sewing -Beginnings- For as long as I can remember, I've loved stuffed animals. I've always liked animals and wanted a pet but was never able to get one, so I started collecting the next best thing. They're so cute and soft, and I say you're never too old for them! ;) Anyway, ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be able to make my own stuffed animals so I could have some of my own characters. But even though my mom and dad both know how to hand-sew, I never thought to ask them...

Part 4: Writing -Beginnings- Until fifth grade, I didn't like writing; I only wrote for school most of the time. When I was five and six years old, I'd either make my stories with only illustrations and no or very few words, or I'd ask my dad to add the writing for me. When I was seven years old, however, I started adding writing myself, but it still wasn't a hobby. This is a short story I wrote and illustrated at age nine, in the first half of 2006: Then in October 2006, when I was 10...

Part 3: Music -Beginnings (Recorder)- From kindergarten to eighth grade I took music classes in school. For the first few years we would sometimes play with instruments, but it wasn't until third and fourth grade (2004-2006) that we learned to play the recorder, which was the first instrument I learned to play. During that time I loved to play the recorder and began to make my own music to play on it. At one time I actually owned five recorders! -Expanding (Piano Keyboard)- In September...

Part 2: Digital Art -Beginnings (MS Paint)- I actually never tried making digital art for the first decade of my life-in fact, I didn't even use the computer that much. Then, in May 2007, when I was 10 (almost 11) years old, I got into digital art; I was taking a class in school at that time where we would use computers in our free time, and I decided to try drawing on MS Paint. I thought it was fun and so I began to try it at home. My first few digital drawings were actually made using the...

This is the first part of a new blog series I'm making about how I began doing my creative hobbies and how far I've come with them. Hope you enjoy! :) Part 1: Traditional Art -Beginnings- I made at least one drawing way back in late 1999-early 2000 when I was three years old. The oldest drawing I remember was supposed to be Pikachu and Jigglypuff from Pokemon, but they looked more like pink and yellow blobs! However, it wasn't until the second half of 2000, when I was four years old, that...

Happy Easter to all of CF today from me and my character Multi the husky. :) Here is something for you!

Hey everyone! ^_^ I've started working on a new digital drawing today. While I'd love to be able to record my drawing process to share it with you, I don't think I have the programs to do that, but I can do the next best thing: share some pictures of my drawing, step by step! This drawing is titled "Forest Stroll". I will update this post as I get more done and once the drawing is complete, I'll add some info about it as well as a Christian Meaning for it. Enjoy! EDIT: The drawing is...

Welcome to my first blog entry of 2018! I hope you had a wonderful New Year and that this year will bring new opportunities. I've decided to make this guide to fabric, which will tell you about my experience with the types of fabric I've used in sewing. Maybe it will help you choose which fabric to use for a project, or maybe it will help your first experience with a fabric go a little smoother. One note, though: these are just my opinions from my experiences and your experience may not be...

Merry Christmas to all of CF today, from me and my character Multi the husky. :) This is my Christmas gift to you!

Hello! I've decided to make a tutorial showing how I made the Advent calendar from my previous blog entry, in case anyone would like to make one of their own. :) I hope you will find it helpful! Materials For one Advent calendar, you will need: Two pieces of fabric (One for the background and one for the pockets. I bought a yard of the background fabric and a half-yard of the pocket fabric and had plenty left over. A half-yard of each is probably enough. You can probably use other kinds of...
