People I Admire

I was stopping by a couple of blogs this evening, and I thought I'd share a few people I admire and am inspired by.  Most of them will be plush artists, for obvious reasons, but there are so many people making beautiful art in many forms.



Her owls and birds are just AMAZING.  She is one of my absolute favorites. 



Nicole makes the most gorgeous everything, but especially deer busts.  I will own one someday.  I promise.  ;)



Eeeep!  Becky's plushies are so cute I almost can't stand it!!!



Eva makes the most classically pretty/cute little friends.  I think I love everything she comes up with.

Also, if you happen to stop by a bookstore soon, you can find my very own Skunkboy Creatures in Stuffed Magazine.  It seemed relevant, you know, since we are talking plush right now.  ;)


It's really neat to see your work in print.  I love it.  :)

I'm planning a shop update (for real, this time) this week.  I haven't decided on the day yet, but I will keep you posted.  I will have a couple of special edition owls, little necklaces, and maybe a new (and exciting!) feature.  Have a lovely night, everyone.  I'm getting these fingers to work.  xoxo Katie

  4. Congrats on being featured in Stuffed Magazine! I saw your pages in there a few weeks ago and was very impressed!

    I have a question for you (or a few)..

    How long have you been collecting Blythes?
    Where did you purchase your Blythes from?
    Are you planning on collecting more?

  6. Thank you for the feature love! I kind of wish I still had that monkey-- he had rosy cheeks and stole my heart. He did go to the cutest owner, though, who picked him up when I was in Chicago. <3

    Chelseabird: I've had my Blythes since last Valentine's Day. I currently own 3 (one is technically Hope's), and of course I want more, but it's a hard decision! I've gotten all of mine from Ebay, but you can find some deals at Plastic Paradise. Hope this helps!
