Sugar & Sloth art: some days I sparkle. Some days I just swear a lot. With a cute sketch of what I think is a fluffy brown cat with a little blue bow on its head.

Love how the bodice and the little lace neckline came out. And OF COURSE his little purple patch of chest fluff. 🧵

Purple owl plushie with red eyes and white face. He has a little navy blue top hat with a gold crown around the brim and black and white satin thigh high stockings. He's wearing a dark blue skirt with stars sprinkled on it. The dress has a bodice of blue pinstripe and a white lace collar. The top and skirt have gold trim. There is a little patch of purple chest fluff where the neckline of the bodice plunges open.

So sorry I've been absent, friends, but it has been a brutal few mnths of car accident, home repairs, 10-12 workdays during a store remodel... BUT I did finish our boy here during this chaos so I'm gonna continue posting his progress for you & can't wait to share what else I've been making. 🧵

Craft stores are just like "can I interest you in some... objects? some items? would you like some things?" and every time I'm like Oooh I LOVE objects and items and things!

Adding Val-tato's collar with the little red hearts. (I'm finally learning to baste stitch the little bits on before sewing cos my machine gets angry when I accidentally hit a pin 😅)

FELT.
Being a good artist isn't about having artistic talent. It's about practice and having the willpower of a roach that has been smacked 20 times with a rolled up magazine and yet still refuses to die.

I've been told now that you can click the 3 little dots and tell Spotify not to include a playlist in your interests! I will be using this for a more accurate Wrapped next year 😅

Been working on a new plushie design based on Squ!shm@llows. He came out a bit more like a potato, so I'm calling them Tater Tots! 😅 The first one I made is #Valentino from #HazbinHotel cos my besties love him and nobody wants to make a plushie of him. I am taking commissions so feel free to DM me!
