Update #1: First official update!

Posted on April 17, 2010

Wow Only a couple days in and already at 11%! Thank you to everyone who has donated to my project! I've been sending out e-mails to everyone I know, people I watch on Deviantart and to Artist blogs. So far the response has been positive and people seem to be very supportive of this project.

Since I am planning on having these made, I decided I needed to go searching for proper ways to turn them into jewelry. I've seen a lot of artists drill holes into the charms themselves and attach earring hooks/cell straps/necklaces that way but I can't drill holes into their cute little heads!

So after some hunting, I tracked down some GORGEOUS bails that I'll be using instead. They will be attached to the backs of the charms, leaving the art itself smooth and without holes.

I have sent an e-mail to the company that makes these bails and will post a picture once I've received their permission.

Hi there! I'm a textile artist with a focus on Amigurumi(Japanese tight crocheting). I love working with bright colors of all sorts and in any medium, be it clay, jewelry, chainmaile, sewing or drawing. I travel to various anime/manga conventions around the country and sell my art in the Artist Alleys.

I am also the founder of the "Bloop on Head Project". See my icon? That is an Octobloop. I'm sure you are wondering what Octobloop like to do in their spare time(Wait, you weren't wondering? I bet you are wondering now!...right?...maybe?...). When not searching for glorious sugar stars they enjoy to perch atop a person's head. They find that people make wonderful accessories and go on many adventures in search of that perfect person. BOHP is a project where people send in photographs of them and their Bloops in various places, doing various things, all while having a Bloop on their head.

When I am not preparing for my shows(Or spreading the gospel of Bloop) I enjoy playing video games, reading and listening to music. You can also find me in my kitchen or at various restaurants, having epic food adventures.
