Description This is Kero from Cardcaptor Sakura, also known as Keroberos in his true from, and Kero-chan in the form I put him here. He is the Sun guardian of the cards in the anime. This is hands down the best plushie I've made to date in my opinion. I put in a lot of work, and applied a variety of mediums to get the desired effect. He's absolutely adorable, and I have about five people who want to run off with him.

The plushie was inspired by the plushie here, although my pattern does not match the one the poster used- [link]
I changed the way the arms, ears, tail and various other parts were done, but the pattern inspired this piece. A lot of the parts of the pattern I couldn't get to work in my own style, so I changed it to my own.

This plushie is the first I've done with embroidery for the nose and mouth, and it worked very well. It's also the first embroidery I've ever done. The wings are hand sewn, and everything else is crocheted, aside from the plastic eyes.

If you're wondering what's with the chocolate bar, Kero loves candy and sweets in the anime. I rewatched the anime recently, and fell in love with it again, and had to do this plushie.

Kero, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Hershey's chocolate bar do not belong to me

Oh yea, I do have plans for doing Sakura herself somewhere down the line, but I have another plushie, and a series of small plushies to do first.

I do too! Thank you! This is one of my favorites of my plush because he looks so cute. Maybe I should make him a Suppi/Spinnel friend one of these days.

Thanks a ton! This is probably the best I've done since I put so much time in it. I also got to experiment arond with embroidering, which made them look a lot better.

I agree, this is your best one so far ^-^ You get extra kudos for those wings!

VanillaAcolytes In reply to WhiteBlazingPhoenix [2008-09-01 13:49:24 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Ugh, don't get me started on the wings. They were a bigger pain then they needed to be. The thread got tangled like every other stitch, so the wings ended up taking an hour or so a piece. I normally shy away from mixing sewing and crochet, but the wings would have been impossible to crochet. I like them as is though.

Oh yeah, I'm familiar with this little fella. Great job with him, Jess, you pretty much nailed him The chocky bar's a great touch, too.

Yea, the anime was pretty well known for its time, but now the company lost the license, so it's pretty rare to see. The chocolate bar was Pat's idea because Kero has an obsession with chocolate and candies in the anime, and he eats sweets nonstop. Thanks a lot for the comment!

That's just -too- adorable. I'm so very tempted to ask you if you could give it to me but that'd be unforgiveable! ;D You've improved with plushies a lot.

Thanks a lot! No one's been able to pry the plushie out of my arms since I made him. He's just too cute. I'd offer to make you one if I didn't have school starting up again tomorrow. I appreciate the comment; I've been trying to make my plushies better as I go on. I think some of the stuff I learned in this one will help me make my other ones better.

Bless you. Well, there is always that Bahamut to make me ;D
If you ever feel like giving away a plushie you know where I am - it'd be an honour to have one of Jess' creations

VanillaAcolytes In reply to Odd-One-Out [2008-09-01 13:57:24 +0000 UTC]

Trust me, Pat won't let me live that Bahamut down, ever. He keeps prodding me to make one. I'm curious how you'd react if I actually make a Bahamut; not full sized obviously, but plushie sized.

Aww, thank you. I never thought owning one of my plushies would be an honor to anyone, heh. I feel flattered.

Odd-One-Out In reply to VanillaAcolytes [2008-09-01 14:16:58 +0000 UTC]

Let's forget the full sized version, a plushie Bahabut would be totally ace!

I'm willing to give it a shot and fuel to the ongoing joke, but I'd probably start it later on, if that's okay. I've got three other plushies I need to finish/do first- a Lopmon I started eight months ago and never completed, Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura and some Halloween decorations for my family. But if I get those done and school's going okay, sure, I'll give Bahamut a shot. It's going to be hard, but I'll be willing to try it.

Wow what a lot of projects! I hope you realise that it is only an ongoing joke and there is no way that I expect you to do it That would be very rude of me.

VanillaAcolytes In reply to Odd-One-Out [2008-09-01 15:49:10 +0000 UTC]

I do know it's a joke, but I also think it would be very fun to attempt. I know you don't actually expect me to, but I think it'd be interesting to at least try it somewhere down the line. I need a good challenge every now and then, lol.

And I may be biting off more than I can chew with that, but what fun is art if you don't have some crazy times doing it?

It looks very cute indeed! Especially how you made the ears and tail! I like the color you used for his body too.

VanillaAcolytes In reply to Eledora [2008-09-01 13:44:20 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot! I was trying to go the closest colors I could on what I had to make his skintone, and I'm surprised how close it came out. The inside of the ears is actually a really soft yarn, so I keep playing with them.

Thanks! My camera decided to fight with me, so I ended up taking about 30 pictures before I got three good ones. For some reason, my camera hates photographing yarn, lol. I'm glad you liked it!
