Fluttergoth

Fluttergoth has been on my “want to plush” list for a looooong time, so I was delighted when Dosenmais was interested in commissioning her, and was very patient when I went overboard adding gothy details

We tried out something like half-a-dozen types of Heat Transfer Vinyl for her eyelids, mostly from HappyFabric.de. I can’t find the one we settled on their website, but I think it was Midnight Blue? In my opinion, it had just the right amount of sheen to match her eyeshadow in the show - which is why it appears different colours in different photos. (Fun fact: her piercings are made of the same material, to match!) Since the eyelashes and eyebrows are felt and layered on top, the eyelashes are 3D!

I wanted to play with texture and drape for the dress, so instead of minky, I found something I’d want to wear to a goth club. I don’t know the names of the jacket and skirt fabric: the jacket and shoes have a slight fuzz, like really short-pile Minky, but without the stretch; the skirt and neck ribbon is a beautiful sheer mesh with a wonderful drape. The blouse is simple white muslin, though anything gauzy would’ve worked for the look I had in mind. The neck pendant was hand-sculpted from silver modelling clay and painted.
