I have been working on some plush hamburgers for the Renegade Fair and for friends and there has been a huge demand for these little guys! They are fun to make and funny to look at. I made them as ornaments for the Holiday Renegade Fair and they were a big success, so I thought that I should add them to my permanent collection. (They will soon be available on Etsy!) This particular hamburger was a gift for my Dad’s Birthday because he loves In N Out Burgers. I made him a special Double Double with no Cheese. In N Out was generous enough to even give me a unused Double Double wrapper! He loved it!

I found this site “oh, hello friend”, and everything about it is so lovely! Danni, the publisher and creator was at the Renegade Fair as well, a couple booths away from me. She sells the most darling little flower hair clips and jewelry. I love her stuff, especially the Robot!!

stitched faces…these handmade plushes are so darling! I found Danielle on Etsy and her little bears, bunnies, and kittens are so charming! I love her choice of fabrics and materials and she has a great sense for creating plushes that pull her out from the rest on Etsy. Her images are great as well, its as if the little guys got in trouble and had to sit in the corner for punishment, especially the sad ones.

Hina Aoyama is an amazing paper designer! She is a Japanese paper designer living in France. I found her site and I was so amazed by the detail in her designs! I can’t even imagine how she would even start a piece like this! Absolutely beautiful! She also has her work on Flickr.

I know it’s dorky but I went to Wondercon. :) But…. I went because I wanted to see some cool illustrators like Enrico Casarosa and Bill Presing and some cute stuff like Conduct Happiness and I Heart Guts! I thought I would buy a gallbladder for my dad from I heart Guts since he had his removed last year.

Japan always has the coolest designs, and when I found these toys from Take-g, I wished I lived in Japan…or at least visit again! I took a wood shop class in college and remember how hard it was just to make a penguin comb! These toys have amazing details and craftsmanship, check them out! And they are safe for children and environmentally friendly!

Andrew Bannecker is a cool designer of illustrated prints. I like his designs and the print quality makes it feel a little vintage-y on some pieces. Here are a few of my favorites.
