Description Sparkles is probably the most unoriginal name for a unicorn ever.

I made this for my sister, she was doing a secret santa thing and the girl she got likes unicorns. I've only made one other plushie so this turned out WAY better than I expected. It's just felt so the fact that it worked at all surprised me.

The tail and mane are a feather boa and the eyes are just doll/bear eyes. I wish they would've had blue though, brown just doesn't fit to me. I covered the hooves in sparkles but they didn't photograph that way. Oh well. It was just for fun.

Maybe someday I'll make more plushies, until then back to pretending to sculpt.

No. The most unoriginal name for a unicorn would be 'Unicorn'

I really like unicorns (probably too much) and this one is spectacular. .3

It looks like a Chauncey to me. ^^ Nice job! (I found some blue safety eyes at joanns)

Blackash In reply to cloudminty [2010-12-26 03:56:01 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Chauncey is very appropriate though I can't really call him anything anymore he is gone.
I found some blue ones at Hobby Lobby for a different project, but I got the brown ones at the local joanns...brats. I do want to find all sorts of colors now, this is a terrible hobby.

cloudminty In reply to Blackash [2010-12-26 16:56:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes I see what you mean..
Pretty colored ones are so hard to find! Most of them are brown. XP I've been hoping to find purple ones, but I don't think they make purple ones.

Blackash In reply to cloudminty [2010-12-28 18:08:22 +0000 UTC]

You could probably find them somewhere online. But that can be such a pain T.T

Thankies You didn't overlook, I am just stupid and forgot to say lol. It's pretty small, 4" I would say (It's been sent off so I can't measure it XD) I wanna make more things I just gotta get to a point where I don't feel guilty spending all my time sewing them!

MollyDollies [2010-12-03 16:46:27 +0000 UTC]

That's super cute, the feathers work great!

I'm experimenting with feathers on plushies (I have chickens), so it's interesting to see how others use them.

Blackash In reply to MollyDollies [2010-12-04 09:06:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Boa's work well because you can usually just sew them into the plush. I haven't tried single feathers though. But hey gotta do something with all those chicken feathers!

Thanks, I think if you did squeeze hard enough it may fall to bits. Hopefully the lady receiving it doesn't have small children D:

Blackash In reply to SleeplessMystic [2010-12-02 08:58:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! To be fair I've been sewing since I was a kid but not plushies. Though I hand sewed this because I've gone insane.

SleeplessMystic In reply to Blackash [2010-12-02 09:02:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh so jealous! No one ever shown me how to sew until I was in middle school and the teacher sucked at teaching. xD And dude, hand sew?! You are insane!

And curious, would you ever put out plushie commissions because I'm tempted to get a quote for a cubone plushie. xD LOL

Blackash In reply to SleeplessMystic [2010-12-03 08:19:27 +0000 UTC]

lol sounds like most middle school teachers, though you can't really blame them XD.

I dunno if I would, I don't really know what I'm doing! But I could try when I'm less busy. Right now holidays are stretching me thin @.@ my own fault though!

SleeplessMystic In reply to Blackash [2010-12-03 19:21:38 +0000 UTC]

LOL! Right right!

Oh I was just curious because I've only done a plushie once and it was meant to look like a plushie. xD I was just curious in general. =3

Hey I'll try anything XD I figure since I can't seem to master one medium I'll just be mediocre in as many as I can! BWAHAHAHAHA. Seriously though I'll bug you after Christmas and still see if you're interested.

WTF you talkin' about Blackash? xDD You're like, omega good at everything you're doing! I so wanna try out making my own figure later too! Hopefully I can get some work or something to save. LOL Alright that works for me. =3 I'll try saving some money and putting it in a card or something so I don't spend it all because that ends up happening. >.>

Blackash In reply to SleeplessMystic [2010-12-06 06:56:08 +0000 UTC]

Aww well thanks! I don't agree but we are our harshest critics usually XD Sculpting is fun, you can just try it out with a white block of sculpey III or something. If you can find a sale they're pretty cheap

I do that too, even if I did find a place to "hide" it.
