A Little Spring in My Step

I did a minor spring-overhaul of my listings on Etsy. I thought the scarves and shawls would look better pictured on people than just rolled up, so I enlisted the help of my friends and had an awesome photo shoot. I added all the new pics and new items today, and so in celebration of that AND the fact that today is the first Official Day of Spring, I've decided to offer a 5% discount off all items in the shop! Visit and like my Facebook page for the code to enter at checkout!

Here's to hoping the weather warms up soon!

Baby Giraffe

I was asked to do a completely different commission - a photo-prop outfit for an infant. Believe it or not this is the first project I made for a baby, so as I worked on it I constantly reveled at how small it was! I think the adorable little guy wearing it (and the outfit) turned out adorable, so I thought I'd share!

Goomy from Pokemon

I made a Goomy Pokemon as a gift for Christmas! Luckily I recorded the pattern, so look for this little guy to be added to my store soon!

Pacman and his lady

Another fun commission! I love making Video Game characters, it's fun to watch them come alive on my hook.

Wumpa Fruit Commission

Here's a Wumpa Fruit I was commissioned to make. Wumpa Fruit are found in the Crash Bandicoot games for the Playstation consoles. I had to dye/hand paint the yarn to get the colors needed. As a bonus, after dying it with Koolaid, it now smells fruity too!

Here's an example of what they look like in game:

Now there's something I never knew I'd end up making!

Harley Quinn Commission

Here's my first doll-based commission! It's Harley Quinn from Arkham City. I made her shoulders jointed so her arms can move, and made her arms and legs poseable. Her neck is also poseable, so she can have that characteristic head-tilt that she does. She was a lot of fun to make! Doing the hair was a learning experience, and it turned out amazing. I can see why some people get addicted to making dolls, they can be a lot of fun to make!

Magenta Moo - The Blog

Hi all! Welcome to the dedicated blog for Magenta Moo! I thought it would be best to separate my personal blog, so I can talk more about the joys of crafting and selling!

I haven't posted any new things in the shop for a while because I've been working on three awesome commissions. I can't wait to show you all how neat they are! 2 are Amigurumis that I had to make up as I went, and the third is a helmet from an anime. I'm still working on the helmet, but once it's done I'll be sure to show you how cool it is!

I celebrated my first Etsy sale ever this week. That's a pretty awesome feeling to make something other people enjoy. I'll admit, it was hard to send Kirby off; a lot of love and time went in to making him.

I've got some new products on the hooks still for the shop, stay tuned for previews!
