Black Friday!

Black Friday today, and the critters on my Etsy sharp are ready!

Check them out in my shop: RiaArtWorld

They make lovely little Holiday gifts!

                            

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Critters!!!

Enjoy this lovely day where we give thanks and stuff ourselves like puff-balls! ;-)

                     

Packaging

Lately, I have been thinking up ways to package my larger crochet stuffties.

They come with a prop, in this example, the monkey comes with a banana of course.

Along with several different clothing accessories that can be worn together or one at a time!

They include a bowtie with Velcro fastener, a poof-ball cap and poof-ball scarf.

I like the idea of having the set spread out in some kind of display. So I'm attaching them to a chip board and will probably put it in a clear plastic wrap.

This would be an great way to show off the set at conventions, but I may keep my usual packaging for my Etsy store-which is also quite cute.

New packaging look in progress:

I just love the idea of a sewn cloth bag holding the stuffty and his gear. It makes the little guy portable while giving him a cozy place to be stored.

Rain Hearts

I love rainy days! A little heart rain sketch for some needed rain in SF today! 

It feels so cozy to sit in a big, puffy sweater while drawing and listening to the rain!

Note Saver

Looks like someone is making sure to save the page I was taking notes on;-) 

So sweet when I have one if my little critter friends looking out for me while I'm working away!

Buzz Buzz

Buzz buzz-it's Monday! 

There was a little bug that kept buzzing in my ear while I was drawing this little bear.

It's kept saying 'good luck this week!'

So I'm gonna pass on the little guys words to my bear and everyone else this week!

Coffee Time

Time for a coffee break with Jinky and Sweet Peg!

Cute in Yellow Today

I recently got an order for a rainbow set of miniature octopi magnets and the only octopus I found already made was the yellow one! He must have been the only one that did not sell at my last convention.

 So I wanted to photograph the little guy with some yellow friends to make him feel a little less lonely while I work on his rainbow buddies~

Picnic Time

Here's an illustration I did a while back for the last SCBWI conference here in SF! Wish I had a little summer picnic right about now!
