Fluttershy Friday! (139, 140, 141)

So, I've been very bad about trying to keep up with the blog lately. Between the end of the school year, feeling down in the dumps, and my upcoming move, things have just been a bit chaotic. Beyond that, I don't have much of an excuse, but I hope you can all forgive me. 

I have 3 new Fluttershy's to show off, two plushies from some of the online pony conventions I have been attending, and one from Amazon, a collector's piece that has become very popular with pony fans!

First is my newest officially licensed piece, the Bishoujo Fluttershy. I have been LUSTING after this piece for some time! It was quite lovely, but I wasn't able to afford her until recently. Right now, I am keeping her in her box, although I am not sure if I want to take her out even when I move. 






Next up, I got two mini plushies from some online conventions that I have been attending. Both of these little girls are quite adorable and while they look like a beanie style, they are not. They are quite solid. One was done by Lumiescent Plushies and the other by Hibiscus Stitch!

Self-Promotion Sunday!

Hello everyone! And welcome once again to Self-Promotion Sunday. I apologize that I am super horrible at keeping up with these as of late. Quarantine has been getting to me as of late, and with the end of the school year approaching, I have been feeling more burnout as of late. With my impending move, I have been doing less and less work. Normally, around this time of year, I would be ramping up production to get ready for cons, but with more and more cons cancelling before I move, I have just been feeling horrendous. It's harder and harder lately to get the urge to do a lot of drawing or sculpting. As I said, I think quarantine has been getting to me. While I am not going to go running out once things are lifted (I still want to be safe), I miss going out to a movie, I miss going to the mall, heck I miss going to WORK!

I do appreciate our essential workers from the bottom of my heart, even if those essential workers are not obvious. For example, where my significant other works, they have been making masks for the front line workers.

Another con has bitten the dust, and I am feeling like my summer of convention fun has been ruined. Here is the updated list:

CouchCon: June 25-28
ConnetiCon: July 9-12
TrotCon: POSTPONED TO 2021
TerrifiCon: August 14-16 
RetroWorld Expo: September 5-6
CT GamerCon: September 12-13
Hudson Valley CC: September 26-27
IncrediCon: October/November (TBD) 

Anyway, there is one thing I have finished, which are some paint pours with Justice League hero silhouettes cut into them. I made them for TerrifiCon, although who knows if that's going to happen at this rate.

I also have put up some stuff on my Etsy page that I haven't had up before, like my buttons and MLP prints. I'm working on getting up my smaller prints, but that might take a bit longer. Make sure you check them out!:
Buttons: https://www.etsy.com/listing/787763606/2-inch-buttons?ref=shop_home_active_7
Prints: https://www.etsy.com/listing/803066763/last-chance-mlp-prints?ref=shop_home_active_3

And remember, check out my Redbubble and TeePublic pages!

Happy Self-Promotion Sunday!

Hello fellow readers! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy as we await the reopening of everything around us. Some places have already started, and I won't lie, there's a part of me that is impatient to go DO something outside of my home. One can only do the same thing over and over again for so long.

I know I mentioned that I would be taking a break shortly, and that's because I will be moving soon, as well as a lot of my cons have been cancelled. However, I have been doing my best to take part in virtual cons, and will have one (CouchCon) coming up at the end of June. Hopefully, my July conventions will be OK. But for now, let me give you a bit of an update on convention status



CouchCon: June 25-28
ConnetiCon: July 9-12
TrotCon: July 17-19 
TerrifiCon: August 14-16 
RetroWorld Expo: September 5-6
CT GamerCon: September 12-13
Hudson Valley CC: September 26-27
IncrediCon: October/November (TBD) 
 
In the meantime, I have up two more figurines on my Etsy page plus a sponsored pin design, a few new designs on both my TeePublic and Redbubble pages, and some keychain designs in the works. Let's start with what's on Etsy: New papercrafts, new figurines, and an enamel pin that I helped sponsor of Daybreaker. I only have 9 of them, so better jump on them soon!
 


 


Here are some of my newer designs up on both my print pages or that will be turned into keychains (or all of the above):





Happy Fluttershy Friday! I'M MOVING!!! (Also, #154, 155, 156, and 157!!!)

 OK, so first and foremost, SO SORRY for not a lot of posts. Creative burnout is real, as well as some BIG news... I AM MOVING INTO MY OWN H...
