Star-Lord Keychain

Another snow day, another post! So I got a request recently for a custom order Star-Lord amigurumi, but as a keychain. I haven't made a keychain in a while, so I was happy to do it. I loved the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, too. It is one of my favorites! Making a tiny Star-Lord was really fun, and here's the result :)

The buyer also requested to have a mini space gun to go with the keychain. Since it had to be so small, I couldn't really crochet one. But I did end up making it out of clay and painting it to look like Star-Lord's actual gun from the movie!

And here he is compared to my hand! He's about 2.5 inches tall, or 4 inches including the key ring part. This is probably the smallest thing I've made so far!

I really liked making this order, it was a lot of fun and I loved how it turned out! If you would like to request a custom order, please visit my etsy shop!

In other news, I recently had my first sale! This lovely person bought my Sherlock and John amigurumi, and I was so excited to make them! They just arrived today, and she even posted a photo on Instagram :) If anyone would like to purchase something, head over to JustByJanelle on etsy, or you can find me on Instagram @justbyjanelle

I should still have my regularly scheduled weekend post, but since I had a free day, I thought I might as well feature this cute little keychain! As for my upcoming post, expect to see a character from a soon-to-be-returning tv series!! (Hint: It's on HBO).

See you all in a couple days!

Bucky Bear

This is one of my earlier projects that turned out better than I expected! He is Bucky Bear, Captain America's trustworthy sidekick and best pal :) I originally saw Bucky Bear on a tumblr comic and he was so cute that I had to make a crochet version of him for myself! I'm quite pleased with how he turned out, the yarn I used to make the bear was a pain to work with since I could not see the stitches at all!!! But it was worth it in the end :)

Just a little note: the bear itself is crochet, as well as the majority of the clothes. For the collar, mask, eyes, and nose I used felt and sewed it on, and added some fabric glue for extra security.

The yarn looks great in the finished product, but it was so confusing and quite bothersome to work with... But it looks just like fur, so I'll just be glad that the whole ordeal is over with. I could, however, be persuaded to make more for a good enough reason... :)

And here is Bucky Bear with my Captain America plushie! Aren't they so cute together? ;)

**And don't worry, I'm working on the Hobbit series still! I just needed to keep up with my blog posts, and Bucky was sitting in my room, feeling left out, so I had an impromptu photo shoot (haha). The first dwarf of the company should arrive soon, so please check in again!
