Simple is Best

I received this comment on my Facebook today, and I appreciated it so much, I wanted to share it here. It's so nice when people see the amount of work I put into my art and comments like these really mean a lot to me.

If you're looking for my Facebook page, it's right here. I'm working hard to update it more often.

Custom Orders and Commissions: OPEN

Moon's Creations currently accepting 4 custom orders to be completed in the month of September. 

 

If you are hoping to order a custom piece in time for the holiday season, this is the time to take advantage. Once things get rolling during after the 31 Amigurumi in October, the BunnyMines get a bit hectic and I may not be able to take on custom orders.

If you'd like to place a custom order, please view this post on how the process works.

State of the Moon

Whew!
I can't believe it's already been a week since AnimeNext. Where has the time gone?

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the table, gave a Moon Bun a home, and especially for all the birthday wishes! A huge THANK YOU to pronouncedyou for tending my table all weekend! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Sadly, going to this convention showed me that I need to take a step back from shows for a while and be a mom. I'll still honor my commitments to Otakon and Nekocon, if I get in, but after those two I won't be at any more until BabyBun is older. I'll still try one day, craft show-like events, but these 3 day affairs are too much stress.

As for goings on here, BabyBun has mastered the art of crawling and is really pushing the learning-to-walk thing, so I've barely a moment's peace and zero time in the BunnyMines. My plan is to photograph convention leftovers as soon as the weather agrees (what is with these storms?), then restock basic Moon Buns, and after that work on other designs.

If you're waiting for me to open commissions, the wait is almost over. I fully expect to be able to take them on towards the end of June. Keep watching for more details!

The Dog and the Sparrow

Welcome to a month of Fairy Tales! We've finally reached the end of the series and this one is on a slightly personal note. I hope you've enjoyed all the designs as much as I enjoyed creating them for you.

"The Dog and the Sparrow" is a story by the Brothers Grimm. It is the story of a dog who mistreated by his owner and runs away. A Sparrow takes care of the dog, until the dog is killed when a cart runs him over. The Sparrow takes revenge on the waggoner who killed his dog.  Read the full tale here.

This story struck me, as I donate a lot of time to a local border collie rescue, which is why I chose a border collie as the dog's breed. My two beloved dogs were in abusive situations and rescued through this group. The purchase price of this set will be donated to the Blue Ridge Border Collie Rescue.

The Clockwork Nightingale

Welcome to a month of Fairy Tales! This month, Moon's Creations will be creating one unique design throughout the month of May. Enjoy this fun series!

The Nightingale is a fairy tale by by Hans Christian Andersen. It is a story about the Emperor of China who is so delighted with the Nightingale's song that he keeps the bird in captivity. When the Emperor is given a bejeweled mechanical bird he loses interest in the real nightingale, who returns to the forest. The mechanical bird eventually breaks down due to overuse and the Emperor is taken deathly ill only to be saved by the song of the real bird. Read more about this tale here.

I can't believe how fast this month has gone by. Only one more design left! Thank you so much for all of the love and support you have shown me. This experience has definitely proven to me that I can still run my business and be a mommy at the same time.

Moon's Creations will be closing shop on June 1st, while I prepare for AnimeNext, a convention in New Jersey. I hope I will meet some of you there!

The Ram

The Pied Piper of Hamelin Moon Bun

Welcome to a month of Fairy Tales! This month, Moon's Creations will be creating one unique design throughout the month of May. Enjoy this fun series!

The Pied Piper of Hamelin tells of a mysterious stranger who is hired as a rat-catcher by the town of Hamelin. He uses a magic pipe to lure away the pests. After performing his job, the townsfolk refuse to pay him his promised fee. In retaliation, he uses his magic to lead the children of the town away in the same manner as the rats. Read more about this tale here.

I remember as a child I used to watch a fairy tale show on PBS where the stories were acted by puppets or clay-mation. This particular story scared the crap out of me. It was told by a little lame boy who was unable to follow the other children as fast. I can still feel the gut wrenching lost he felt at not being able to keep up with the others and being left behind.
