Is it too late…

to add a baby polar bear to my Christmas present list? D’awww!

Ooh lookit! If you click that little snowflake in the youtube control bar, you can make it snow on him

Christmas Last Posting Dates

Here’s a handy little picture to remind you of the last posting dates for your orders to arrive before Christmas. As usual though they’re just a guideline so sooner rather than later might help to avoid any disappointment!

Just a little note as well -  it’s been pretty crazy in the shop this last week or so and a few items are selling out now. It’s unlikely that I’ll have them remade in time for Christmas so if there was something you were planning on getting as a gift, get in there quick!

Paperchase does cute for Christmas!

Paperchase have come up trumps this year with their cute little Christmas Town designs. There are all sorts of cards, wrapping paper, stickers, decorations and even a set of mini resin figures!

There’s also another range called Krafty Christmas which has some sweet designs and felt decorations. I love the paper garland kits! Haven’t made those since junior school

I also had to nab one of these kitsch flocked deers… I’m not sure why or what for yet but they were a bargain and maybe it will come in useful one day……

All this Christmas stuff reminds me – I’ll get some info up about Xmas last posting dates for Kookizu over the next few days.

Handmade Brooches by HanaLetters

I love these colourful hand sewn Hanako felt brooches, perfect for brightening up these dark gloomy days we’re getting in the UK now winter has arrived. Such perfect little stitches and all those thread colour changes and fiddly little shapes! I’ve got a lot of respect for people that can sew really well… it’s not one of my strong points I particularly like ‘Annoyed Urban Fox’ I wonder what annoyed him?
These and many more designs are available to buy at the HanaLetters Etsy Shop and they’re all lovely so go and take a peek!

I’ve noticed I started drawing more of these dead-eyed girls ever since I got my new iMac… iMac screens are radioactively bright! Maybe there’s a connection?

 

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from KoooOOOoooOOooookizu!

If you’re feeling the spooky vibe you can check out the section I added where I grouped all the Cute Gothic & Skull stuff together!

Devilishly Cute!

Dance for me!

Throw your hands in the air and wave them like a little bear!

I’m learning to animate in After Effects. This seemed like a good thing to do first. The practice of capturing bears to make them dance is of course horrific…. but some bears just really like to dance on a Friday night!
