A big one and a small one...

 I am feeling very productive this morning. I had the first batch of safety eyes delivered yesterday so this morning I woke up with tuns of inspiration. I've planned for these plushies to be made for a while now so it is great when everything comes together and you can channel all the inspiration that has been brewing in your mind, into something like this dude! I had so much fun making him and I think he's got tuns of character. I based him on my ipod cases and the rest of them will be based on the ipod cases too.

As for the little thing on his head, well that is a little mini-yeti phone charm. At the moment I only have on pair of eyes left in that size so there will only be one more mini-yeti phone charm made this week. I do hope to be able to order some more eyes next week and have more charms made up.

I am still waiting for the eyes I need to be able to make more iPod/iPhone cases. But I have plent of ideas for them as well.

Now, back to the crafts corner to make more Yeti Plushies! YEEEY! >u<

Forest Dwellers...

 The Fox

 The Stag

 The Owl

 The Weasel

The Hare

This is my secret little project I've been working on. These adorable creatures will be decorating pocket mirrors that I ordered today. They'll be with me in 4-8 business days, so fingers crossed I'll be able to have them up for sale next week at some point.

I call the range "Forest Dwellers" and if these do well, I can guarantee you that you will see other ranges too. I also plan on using the illustrations for art-prints later on. Obviously with more detailed backgrounds. I spent so much time drawing these so I thought it would be a shame NOT to make them into art-prints so that you can appreciate the detail in larger formats.

Anywaaaaays, happy days! I am looking forward to seeing them! Hope you are too!

Whilst waiting...

So today I've been occupying myself with these little sweeties. I am going nuts waiting for all the safety eyes I need to continue the production of my yeti cases, so while waiting I've started about 5 other projects. These are one of the projects, I'll show you another one tomorrow and a third one the day after maybe. It depends if I've managed to finish it or not. Either way you won't be disappointed!
I can't wait to show you! <3

You can find the clouds in my etsy shop as usual. Click HERE for the white one, and click HERE for the pink one...

The past week...

The past week has been busy indeed. I finally have all the time I need to work on Tomo. I get deeper and deeper into the world of my own business and I love every hour, every minute and every second of it. I decided about three months ago that I would never make iPod cases again. This was when I got overwhelmed with work. I had to many cases to do and along with that I had a degree to finish. It wasn't fun any more and I thought that it was not worth it. So I stopped, and focused on my degree instead. I realize first now that it wasn't the fact that I had to many cases to do, but the fact that I had to finish my degree that took the fun out of what I normally loved doing. I have now made 6 new ipod case designs and also had a few orders through and I love making them again and all of a sudden I have decided to focus really hard on making these a success. I feel that they are very original, but not only that, the love and dedication that goes in to these little sweeties is beyond anything I've experienced before. I hope it doesn't sound crazy, but each one of them holds a special place in my heart. And it is that feeling that has made me realize that I could do this for the rest of my life and probably be the happiest woman on earth.

I have pushed Tomo allot since I finished my degree and I have now managed to get in to two shops, one local business here in Swansea, and an online business too. I will tell you more about it once the items are up in the online shop and I want to take some photos of the shop that supplies my jewellery in town. So there will be a whole blog entry about that next week at some point.

Anyway, there will be more ipod cases in the next coming month. Right now I've got all the fur and felt I need, but I am waiting for two orders, one from Asia and one from America. I have ordered tuns of lovely safety eyes in many vibrant colours. I seriously can't find a good wholesaler here in the UK so I have no other choice but to turn to other countries.

I also have other plans, which will be announced once all my orders have been delivered to me.

Alsooooo I've designed new packaging for the iPod/iPhone cases. I don't know when I'll be able to have them made up but hopefully in not to long. Here is the design anyway, front and back:

Hope you like it!

Hotcher and Flyn...

Today Hotcher and Flyn has joined the Tomo Yeti Family. I just adore these two and it was great to work with top quality fur. I am staying to quite earthy colours, I don't know why really, but they are more appealing to me and it is really hard to find good quality fur that is colourful over here. I've become much pickier with the fur I use and I don't think that is making it any easier to find colourful pieces. But I am sure I will come across something one day, until then I will stick with these thick and super soft furs. Hope you like em'!
