Double stuffed Oreos are “wonderfilled” with soft, sugary deliciousness. Double stuffed Creepy Dolls, conversely are “horrorfilled” with squishy, staring terror. When I posted about making 50 Creepy Dolls for LoadingReadyRun’s Kickstarter, I mentioned that, due to prototyping that left me with the unfinished and horribly disfigured shell of a Creepy Doll, one doll in the […]

the adventures of UrK & Wrbbl
A few weeks ago I made some very fuzzy, very neolithic (in the stereotypical and not at all historically accurate sense) costumes for a LoadingReadyRun video about some cavemen who are ahead of their time. Besides covering our entire living room in soft, clingy, static-y fuzz, it also left me with some small-but-too-large-to-throw-away faux fur […]

The life and times of Creepy Doll hordes
Back in the fall, my friends over at LoadingReadyRun contracted me to make 50 Creepy Dolls for their Kickstarter. This is a plushie of a longtime LRR character with a bit of a random history. The Creepy Doll first appeared years ago in Kathleen De Vere’s webcomic Korea, as a character called the Littlest Reaper. Kathleen […]

Craterhoof Behemoth plushie

Because why not do everything in one summer? This was an occasion we felt needed to be adequately marked with celebration. My father-in-law and […]

LRR scouts – an outdoorsy adventure in web video costuming
I was never in Girl Scouts or Girl Guides or (obviously) Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts or any of the various youthful North American scouting groups there are to be in. I know that Boy Scouts carry pocket knives (well so do I, thanks very much) and Girl Scouts sell cookies, and that the Girl […]

Assassin’s Creed 3 hood – bonus post
[EDIT: You can now find the full tutorial and pattern for this project here.] Now and then I’ve mentioned how my ties with LoadingReadyRun can lead to abrupt and somewhat random crafting requests. A couple weeks ago I was in the middle of vital and uninteresting work stuff, when my phone dinged with a message […]

plush pig (inspired by Desert Bus 4)
Play Minecraft, watch Top Gear, get pig. This phrase became a meme during Desert Bus 4 this year, and pigs (sugared pigs in particular) were much in demand during the event. If you don’t know why, it’s probably not worth trying to figure out. It’s one of those “you had to be there” things, and […]
