Songbird, Songbird, see him fly. Drop the children from the sky. When the young ones misbehave, escorts children to their grave.
In celebration of a character that will surely go down in video game history, I have created a Songbird plushie from the just released Bioshock: Infinite! He is 110% 10 times overflowing with awesome.
UPDATE 2: Child’s Play has removed my auction on Ebay so here is a new link to the new auction.
UPDATE: I am currently auctioning off this dude on Ebay. I don’t have plans to take any commissions for this plush in the near future, so this will be your chance to get your very own Songbird plush.
I originally had plans to put some armature wire inside of his wings so they would stand up better on his back, but decided to keep them floppy to add to his cuddle factor. He also has a little removable saddle on his back :)
Check him out below!

Every since posting pictures of one of my last commissions, the Battle Tech Plush, I have got a lot of attention and requests to make other mech. This one is the latest and greatest, the Heavy Gear Lancier Plush! This plush was probably one of the most complex plushies I have ever attempted. He had close to 100 pieces and movable joints for maximum battle tactics and maneuvering. He came out really big and cuddle and you can even remove his missiles! I think I would have like to sew the hands a bit different, but all in all I think he turned out great. Check this dude out!

Cutified versions of some Diablo 2 characters! They were originally designed by a friend of mine and then I turned his sketches into plush form. We have Diablo himself, Tyrael, and the cow from the secret cow level!
I actually made these last year, but was hanging onto these pics mostly because I was traveling for a while. I just remembered I had them and how awesome they are! If there are enough interested, I might create a pattern for the Diablo plushie. He is pretty huge and hellish!

I was commissioned to create a Battletech plush. How am I supposed to create a giant robot plush out of fabric? I guess this is how you do it! Meet Grayson. He likes to shoot things with missiles. He can even stand up on his own! (mostly)
Not even cats can escape his cannons.

I went a little crazy this week and got inspired to make some adorable plush deer/antelope. I call them the Anteloupes! They are special breed of African Antelope and organic locally grown cantaloupe and honey dew! I present to thee…the Anteloupe and Honey Doe!
And I also became obsessed with making little mini deers too! I love their little feeties! These are just regular deer though, they were not cross bred with fruit…however there are theories that they may have been bred with swirly fabrics and beautiful color combinations.

My parents are in the process of remodeling their home and it is starting to look very nice. I mean, it was always nice, but now it’s starting to look fancy, perhaps even regal. I always feel like I should be sipping expensive wine while listening to classical music in their new library…wait we already do this almost every day!
Anyway, being in their home makes me feel fancy so I decided to get fancy with one of my Wind Swept Bunnies. All he needs now is a glass of wine!

Brains and Bunnies. What more could you ask for!? This is definitely what an undead Wind Swept Bunny would look like. Just in time for Halloween!

It’s not even close to Easter, but my mom and I found some images of baby chick deviled eggs online and just had to try it out! I found this blog post from A Thrift Mom and made a few adjustments to the ingredients. I think they turned out adorable! And delicious!
Unfortunately while I was making them, I accidently the whole salt container into the egg mixture and had to try some tricks to make it less salty. Always check the caps to your salt before vigorously shaking the salt!

Hi Everyone! Arixystix Creations is officially back in business! I’ve traveled the world and seen some amazing things and now that I’m back state side I am ready to start craftin’ it up!
In other news, while I was traveling, I was still able to get creative with some things and ended up painting a few murals. You can check out some of the work I did HERE.
I have a ton of new ideas and projects to get going for Arixystix Creations, so here we go!

Hello folks! I just wanted to give a quick update about my craft business. I will be taking an extended break and will only be selling limited items in my shop for the year of 2012. I will be traveling for an extended period of time and will only be able to sell digital sewing patterns while along on my travels. Internet connectivity is expected to be scarce, but if you do make a purchase of one of my patterns, I will try to get it sent off as soon as possible.
Thank you everyone who made 2011 a very successful year for all of my art work and I hope to jump back into creating cute things again as soon as I return!
If anyone is interested in following along with my travels, you can head over to my other blog at www.vernalgroove.com to read stories , see pictures, and watch videos of our adventures.
Cheers!
