First of all... thank you for your time and input. 

I totally agree with you on the fact that handmade goodies all have a certain uniqueness that can only come from the pain and joy of figuring things out for yourself. 

My project has a specific audience and goal in mind.  I would love feedback (from you and others) ont 

The goal is to jump start start someone that never sewn anything before.   

The idea is to
1) give them a taste of the craft
2) take away the logistics of starting a project (like having to buy a huge piece something just to get a little nip of a particular color)
3) build DIY confidence

I want to make a kit for curious by standers to jump in. Kit would include the materials for one or just a few simple stuff, patterns and website link to the instructions. On the web site would be detailed tutorial with stuff like pictures and you tube vids.

And if the individual enjoyed the experience, then they can go on to more advanced plush making themselves.
what do you think?

if you're someone who is experienced... would you have liked something like this back in the day?
if you're someone who is news .... how interested would you be in this kit?

after being really busy for a while with a lot of work with my day job...  i am about to launch into "sprint" of working on my art... and to help me get a jump start .. some critique would be soooo appreciated.. (be honest!)

My goal is to make a handsome portfolio of things to show for myself (and sell some art if possible) for fanime.  I love drawing people.. and i love drawing stories also!  I'v always been a bit shy with my art .. so this is a big step for me.  :-\

Thank you for your time!!!!

thank you again!  :)

I have a project idea to spread the joy of making plushies, and I am looking for a partner or two to make this possible.

I am looking for someone who has made a plushy tutorial before, or is thinking of making one in the near future.
This is not really for profit, since I am doing this for the love of DIY. Please let me know if you are interested.

this is my deviant .. please let me a msg if you interested!

(note: there's nothing plushy related on my deviant... im giving it out for communication purposes)

Panels and Workshops / "safer" place for glowsticking
November 14, 2008, 02:53:18 PM
In a busy, well pack room like the main dance/rave, it's dangerous to have people doing any kind of crazy glowsticking, especially stringing. But it would be nice if there can be a more open area that allows people to safely play with glow sticks.  Beginners can learn how to string and chat with the pros and everyone else can dance while enjoying some glow stick craziness!

Some precedences:
1) the year i was at AX, they had a stringing workshop, large room and some pros were just walking around and giving tips to a mostly confused crowd of beginners (i believe some people from http://www.glowsticking.com/ were there)
2) the year i was at otakon, in addition to a regular dance room and a huge dance hall. (it was literately the the hall of the conference center decked out so speakers and lights.) there were plenty of room for ravers, break dancers and other crazy fun!
3) the year i was at AWA(really small), they had an out door area (patio of the hotel) where some ppl setup speakers. It was more laid back, with a lot of people hanging out and watching.

I don't know if this would be feasible @ fanime.
thanks for your time ^^
