Of Mochis and Mermen
This is will contain large images, so I've put everything behind a cut... 
Here is the latest batch of fabric Hetalia mochis I've been making! I started making fabric mochis back in February when I found a pattern on deviantart. I made MochiAmerica and mochiUK first, and took them with me to London Anime Con. When I sold them within the first five minutes at my art table to two Hetalia fans, I decided to make more! So here is what I made from my last convention:
The round mochis are 10cm (height) x 12cm (width) in size and the cubes (Germany and Prussia, which I have made previously) are 16cm x 16cm. I'm currently making these guys again for London MCM Expo on the 28th - 30th October and Doki-Doki Festival in Manchester on 13th November. If you're going to those events, I hope to see you there! I've also been making Plush dolls too. I am currently working on a large Wizard UK doll (from the official Hetalia calendar, October image) and a smaller Character CD cover UK doll(the leather jacket and pants look). Sadly due to time constraints, they will have to wait until December - January when I have time to finish them, as making mochis and getting prints re-printed to sell are taking up all of my time now. However, I finally finished these two lovelies:
I was inspired by RobinRocks's Hetalia fan-fiction "Horizon", cosmic_dare's Hetalia fan-fiction "Cerulean", Pirates of the Caribbean 4, the Little Mermaid (Disney version - Sebastian still cracks me up after all these years!) and my own novel that I'm writing. Both mermen are made from fleece, peel & stick printable fabric paper, felt, spandex (their fish tails and fins) and synthetic fur (Arthur's hair, to which my Mother said "He looks like Boris Johnson, the Lord Mayor of London! Me and my sister laughed for ages at that, it's quote of the month for me!).
My family asked me how much I was going to sell the Mermen for. I don't really think i can part with them. I mean, look at their faces! It's not like they're going to eat me in the middle of the night! Well Merman Arthur might but...(I am joking to humour you here!)
