Hi Lauren
I caught the archived version of your Q&A on Etsy’s livestream (2/15/2012) and found your comments and suggestions really helpful (incidentally, they tagged your name incorrectly in the video file - “Vennell” which made it a little tricky to find your blog).

I agree that social media can be a real time-suck, and sometimes it’s just not worth spending your whole day at it, but it’s tough to build your community!

I’ll keep a lookout for more of what you post on your blog. Thanks!

I found that the clear Ultra Thick Embossing Powder works great for sealing too. Just sprinkle it evenly over your piece, and heat it with a heat gun. Then both sides are shiny too, instead of one shiny side and one matte side.

This is really cool. i think your point “These are what Mitch’s pieces looked like when I undid them — not something I would have been able to visualize beforehand.” is crucial. i guess that’s the main benefit to draping? i hadn’t considered that before but it makes sense. the major thing that keeps me from executing all the stuffed animal ideas flying around in my head is the lack of technical know-how in making the body parts to be shaped properly and the head and legs to not be completely ridiculous. so i guess i need to go get myself some foam and try this method. thanks!!

Thanks! A snag with with the packaging unfortunately delayed the release of these guys. They should hit stores everywhere by early April, but I may put up a special preview in February where you can get a limited amount directly on this site.
