It is already December 3rd and the PANIC is SETTING IN. It is CRAFTAPALOOZA in my house right now, a slightly neurotic and anxiety-attacky flurry of fabrics and threads and yarns as I attempt to make something for everyone. I've made good progress (since I started like a month ago), and intellectually I know I'll be fine and I'll get everything

When looking at Link, am I the only person who can't help but think of "Dark Crystal"?

I guess Link does look a bit like Jen when he's playing his ocarina.

That bag is unbelievable. You could probably make a pretty penny just selling the fabric. Have you ever thought about opening an Etsy store or something? Because anime fans would love you forever. How do you print fabric? I never knew you could do that!
Professional narwhal looks professional!

I have thought about etsy, but I haven't yet had the time to make enough things that didn't already have homes to open a store. The bags are reletively easy to contruct, though, so that could be an option. And the narwhals, actually. They only take about two hours to make not counting the time it takes for the paint to dry.
Printing fabric is fun! I have this solution full of weird chemicals that I treat the fabric with called Bubble Jet Set. You let that dry into the fabric and then you iron it onto a piece of freezer paper and you can just print on the fabric like computer paper. Then I use a colorfast detergent to rinse out the solution and a little bit of excess ink and voila! Printed fabric. The only downside is that the pieces can't be bigger than 8.5"x11", but that's a usable size when it comes to bags and appliques and things like that.

I still think link needs pants. Or shorts. Or summat. But he looks rad. Also. OCARINA. So cool.
You my friend are super talented. I second Suzi. ETSY.
