Teru Teru Bozu-A Japanese Goodluck Charm Against Rain

As the title suggests, the Teru Teru Bozu are handcrafted charms that ward off rain. Japanese people hang these outside of their house to keep away the rain, although we know that we need it here in America-heat waves galore are getting pretty bad.

After discovering one of these on Deviant Art, I decided to make my own. I pretty much failed the first one, but the second isn't too bad.

This is the first one, and he hangs from my computer desk/workspace. He doesn't have eyes and isn't the traditional color, white. I thought it would be nice to use up material that I have excess of, plus I didn't have enough white to make a nicely sized one.

And this is the second one I made! It is a teeny one which will go in my car.

Tell me, would you be interested in making one? Do you find this interesting?

Butterfree Doll-For Sale!

This Butterfree plushie was handcrafted with a needle and hot glue. Hot glue is more durable and holds a doll together.

Butterfree is an adorable Butterfly Pokemon, and was featured in the original Pokemon episode "Bye Bye, Butterfree".

This guy is $15-$20, depending on what the bidder is willing to pay. This does include the shipping and handling price.

He is a foot tall from head to foot and has a wingspan of 14 inches. Contact me please if you're interested, or comment below.

Unfortunately, I do not ship outside of the US.

Ghaaaastly

I love this guy, he's my favorite Pokemon.

This is a pillow of Ghastly! Unfortunately he has already been sold.

VAMPIAH

Pardon me for all of these posts. :P

This is Claude. He is a vampire. He likes playing Pacman and eating cheetos. (Did I spell that right?) He is a nerd beyond compare, also gothic, and has a purple airplane. Isn't he cute?

Lucario!

This is a hat of Lucario from Pokemon. Commission.

Chocobo Hat!

I love Final Fantasy, guys, just so you know, so when I was commissioned to make this hat, I was THRILLED! Admittedly the felt was a tad hard to find, however I finally snatched my hands on it and whipped this bad boy up.

Charmander Hat

Okay, so my titles are becoming a little less creative.

This is a Charmander hat! Charmander is a popular dragon-animal-creature from the hit show Pokemon.

This hat is for sale, which can be ordered from my etsy account: exactacrafts.

Zarkana Inspired Hat

 This hat was inspired by the new Cirque Du Soleil show, Zarkana. Zark's costume is primarily black and red, which is where I drew the inspiration for the hat color palette. He wears a rose-patterned top hat, hence the rose pattern on the rim, and there are also two roses near the "draw-strings" ends.

 The roses are more apparent here.

 These can be taken apart, and they are held together with velcro.

This hat is currently not for sale, however if somebody is interested I am willing to sell it. It will be a bit more expensive than my normal ten dollar hats though.

Hello, Everyone!

I hope that everything is well! I am sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I DO have quite a bit to post, but I have been busy with school and such, yadadadada~

I wanted to tell you all (whoever you may be) that I am selling Panda Hats (made to order) for Japan. Each Panda Hat costs $10, and all of the profit goes directly to Red Cross Japan to help the poor country from the disastrous events that occurred. Please, I urge everyone to, if they can, just at least donate a little money to help in any way. You don't have to buy a Panda Hat, but you could also text REDCROSS at 90999.

Although it may seem that this happened "such a long time ago" (Really, only a couple weeks ago) and that Japan is well off, I'm sure they aren't. Japan can continue using our help, and I feel that we all should give it.

Have a wonderful day, everybody~!

Who the Heck Do You Think I Am?!

These are ONLY the best hairclips from above ground! These were inspired by Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann. My best friend commissioned these as a freebie gift in exchange for a pair of earrings she made me. I'd say the trade was well worth it!

Warubiaru

Frosslass

 This is a Frosslass hat! It was a commission from a friend, who also commissioned a Kirlia hat. However, I was not happy with the Kirlia, so that won't be appearing on my blog...

This is the backside. I was thrilled with how the two-colored rim came out. Isn't it a pretty hat?

Not Gonna Raichu A Love Song

This would be called a Raichu.

Boy was I in love with this one. I almost didn't want to give it away!

Ghastly!

Yeah, so that's what I totally look like. Bahaha, I really didn't want to show my face. I don't believe in doing such things in public, online places. But that just allows you to look more at the beautiful Gastly hat! This was the very first hat I'd ever made, and I still have it today!

rawr!

Woooobuffet.

 This is a friend posing a wobuffet hat commission!

 I was happy with the way this came out.

See its little black tail in the back? The person who received this was VERY happy and kept hugging me. He loved it. XD

Captain...Saw?

 

Because the Captain Hammer hat was a hit with it's receiver's grandfather, the grandfather commissioned me to make a hat with a saw on it! Here we go.

My titles are starting to become less and less creative.

Anyway, I know it looks a little creeper. Don't worry about it.

 Doesn't this Pokemon's name sound like "victory" sort of? You know what, never mind.

Aren't these delicious and adorable looking?

Anhalt

This is an extremely special doll to me. Not only am I thrilled with the way he came out, but this doll is a special part of me. His name is Anhalt. His piercing gamboge eyes are gorgeous, no? Not to mention that he looks super snazzy in his special, purple suit. A top hat tops off the outfit for perfection. Don't worry, he now has a mouth as well.

He will never be sold.

England Dump

 This was a key chain made for my bestie. Y'know, the one who loves this guy for some reason.

 A freebie mochi made for her as well!

And finally, as a little shocking surprise, this is the abhorred England doll. The hunchback one that I hate. She still at least pretends to love it, so that's all I really need. Isn't just gosh awful looking? I warned you all. Welcome to your new nightmare fuel.
