Hi everyone, this is just a quick mini tutorial on how I make a duplicate for Fimo Effects Vanilla. It's a really pretty and versatile colour but it's difficult to find and also tough to work with - So I hope this is helpful for some!

Creative Commons License Attribution 3.0 UnportedMarty Polymer Clay Figurine Tutorial - ACNH x SanrioTheLittleMew2021-07-03 | Hello everyone! Here's the second video in this mini series where I make Marty the lazy Pompompurin themed Cub. I made this video a lot shorter than the last one (aka cut it within an inch if its life) in the hopes that it would be easier to watch, but I think I still need to find a happy medium. Sorry for the sound quality, one day I will have a clear crisp voice-over that day is not today (*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡

I just saw that there's a section that goes black for for a second and I can't do anything about it now... Also I removed the mini Cinnamoroll after baking and didn't mention it in the video (T▽T) Anyway links to tools used etc. bellow! Hope you can enjoy the video despite my incompetence (*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡

This is the second part of the June Etsy restock update which features all the figurines :) I am so sorry that the volume is so low, I think I will try and buy a mic as soon as I have the money to do so, to improve the sound quality in future videos. I hope you didn't mind only the birdsong in the background this time - I just thought I would try it out that way!
I'll be announcing on Instagram when the last two figurines will be going up for auction!
After years I finally took the time to film AND edit a new charm update! Let me apologise right away for still having a horrible voice-over! Even though time has passed and everyone's videos are so professional now, aside from having a great camera mine are still super basic ಥ_ಥ
As you can probably tell from the video, a lot of the pieces look very fragile and some of them were, in fact, too fragile to make it safely to their new homes. I have worked through solutions with all the lovelies who recieved broken pieces and have since made some breakthroughs when testing ways to make the clay stronger- so things look very promising moving forward!
I'll be uploading the video for the figurines that were part of this update soon, so check back for that later this week if you're interested!
Finally, I mentioned a few people in the video- I actually have gotten to know most of the people who support me and my store, but I was not sure of usernames for a lot of people - if I do this again and you want to be mentioned I'm more than happy to, just once you've placed an order make sure I have your IG handle thu Etsy ヾ(`・ω・´)ノ
Also last thing: I have been super inspired by cartoons and upcoming video games to make some new tutorials as well, so I will be working on that soon!

♡ Open Me for All The Things⇣ ⇣ ⇣
F.I.N.A.L.L.Y!! I am so happy to finally have a new video to share with you. I don't know if this was filmed with my old camera or if I've just been watching so many beautifully filmed videos by Frannerd and Iraville etc. that mine look totally washed out in comparison- but I decided to go ahead anyway and do the best I could with this footage. Some parts are sped up a lot, so please be very slow and careful when using a needle tool or knife, and get permission if you are a smol. Right now I am kind of geared up for videos, and hopefully I can get some more edited while I'm in this space - once I go back to claying, I find it very hard to give up the days it takes me to finish a video. I would love to make a charm update next, I think one is long overdue! I also feel compelled to explain that the cat at the end is my other cat, Okami, trying to make a nest of my glazing box (which has rope strung accross it, making it very hard for a solid cat to get in, despite his liquid ambitions).
♡ You can use any acrylic paint :) I have primary colours & black & white and mix these to make my own palettes. I store these in empty poster paint set pots (I buy them and empty out the paint) so that I can use them anytime without them drying out.
Creative Commons License Attribution 3.0 UnportedPolymer Clay Tips: Keeping Clay Clean and SmoothTheLittleMew2015-09-22 | Hi everyone, this is the most requested Keeping Clay Clean Video!
♡ Open Me for All The Things⇣ ⇣ ⇣
I didn't talk in this video because I've become a bit shy of my voice since I haven't uploaded a video in so long! I hope to overcome this soon though, just have to practice recording my voice again :) I know this video is really simple and that a lot of other crafters have covered what I mention, but I do get asked a lot, almost every day, how I keep my clay clean. So this is just a quick demo of all the things I do regularly to make sure I don't have any dust or fingerprints in my finished pieces. I spend almost double the time keeping my clay dust free than I do actually sculpting, so although it's really brief here and not show at all in my tutorial videos, this is the most time consuming (and tedious) part of my process - I do think it's worth it for the end result though, so I spend that extra time without question on each piece I make. I hope to upload a charm update soon as I haven't made one for about a year :O
At the end of the video: when you see your idol on TV!

♡ Open Me for All The Things⇣ ⇣ ⇣
As I think a lot of you know already Ni No Kuni, an epic familiar-training style RPG with art and animation influenced and developed by beloved Studio Ghibli, is one of my all time favourite games! I made a few sets of these familiars last year and was asked that long ago to make a tutorial O.O This is just one of the Naiads, but I think if you can make this, you can make the others quite easily by swapping colours. This tutorial also features how to do a skinner blend, one of my most frequently asked questions! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ Oh ya and the end, that's my glazing box with drying charms she's sitting on haha

Zedge sound effects - Puppycat Pretty Patrick NotificationPusheen Doughnut Chibi Tutorial - FB Sticker Collab ❤TheLittleMew2015-04-17 | Hi everyone! This is a Pusheen Chibi tutorial based off the Facebook stickers! ♡♡♡
This was a fun little collaboration with some of my favourite crafters (as you may know my chibi style is very much influenced by Mabel❤). As we are all fond of making chibis, the idea was to make a chibi based on the Facebook Pusheen Stickers - I tried to say that 15+ times in the video and failed haha ❤ I had a hard time filming the eye painting in the tutorial as it's not close enough to the camera, but as I show you in stages what I've done I think you can get a basic idea - you can also call it finished after doing the turquoise irises and just add a white hi-light in each eye ◉◡◉ My voice is so muffled and then tinny in this recording I just did the whole thing without checking it and I must have had my hand over the mic/speakers (╥︣﹏᷅╥) I got a new tablet so I guess I wasn't holding it properly! OTL

It was so hard for me to choose just one villager to make as they are all so adorable, so please share with me your favourite so that I can make a more informed decision next time! I just chose this guy for his cute grumpy little face ❤ In this tutorial you can also get an idea of how I paint chibi eyes ◉◡◉ Sorry about my muffled voice in half of the video, something happened when I was recording! I hope you can still hear and understand me (╥︣﹏᷅╥)

Creative Commons License Attribution 3.0 Unported*CLOSED* The Little Mew 5k Instagram GiveawayTheLittleMew2015-02-05 | Hi everyone! My 5k Instagram Giveaway is finally here! To show my appreciation I have collected some extra cute little goodies along with a handmade Little Mew pastel unicorn necklace to give to a lucky winner :)
To enter, just take a screenshot of the original post on Instagram, and repost it on your own account with @thelittlemew & #thelittlemew5k in the caption. It's a one week giveaway ending on the 9th of February 2015 Asia Pacific Time. Make sure your account is set to 'public' for this week otherwise I won't be able to see your entry! You can see more of the details on the Instagram post itself.
Just a few notes: I'm pretty sure the Molang diary is a knockoff (I got it from Ebay)- It is almost identical to the original though and has different little Molang illustrations on each page along with blank dates so you can start anytime. I think this is the last time that I will have extras aside from my charms for a giveaway, as in the future I want to focus more giving my own handmade charms! Also I would love to have more than one winner and this is something that I will only be able to change if the NZ postal system becomes a bit more reasonable: its NZ$23.50 to send an international parcel with tracking!
Good luck to everyone, and thank you to every Instagram follower and YT subscriber I have! You have encouraged me beyond belief :)

Hi Everyone! This the first part of the highly requested Rilakkuma Happy Natural Time tutorial where I will show you how I make Rilakkuma in his little deer hood outfit. To make a Korilakkuma just follow the same steps using the Korilakkuma colours shown, and add the berry leaf by the ear as shown as well! Just a note - it is a little tricky to make the hood but just spend a lot of time on it smoothing it out and it should be fine! I also just want to apologise for calling Korilakkuma a 'she' if she isn't a girl, I did check google but got a lot of different answers :)

PS. My voice goes from strong to really weak from the start to the end of the video due to sore throat sticking around, and sorry for repeating myself at one point, I didn't pay enough attention to my mistakes when playing back! My annotations are still not working so I've got to leave all teh info down here :)

LBP level musicTutorial #5 - Fantasy Hot Air Balloon - Collab With ArtMonsterKrys! ♡TheLittleMew2014-10-23 | Hi Everyone! Welcome to my hot air balloon collab tutorial with @artmonsterkrys ! ♡♡♡
♡ You will need four jump rings to complete this tutorial the way I have done: Two big ones around 8 mm and two small ones around 5 mm depending on how big your balloon is. I just bought
♡ The balloon is made up of two parts: the base shape and the cover. The base shape I made is from 'waste clay' which I coloured to match the outer layer, as it is still visible from the underneath. My waste clay is actually just Sculpey 3 white which I have a large block of that is too soft to use for detailed work. The outer cover layer is made of Premo white mixed with red and yellow to get the salmon colour.
♡ The browns are Premo Burnt Sienna mixed with different amounts of Premo white.
♡ The greens are Cadmium Yellow, Premo Green, and Wasabi mixed to create dark to light greens.
