Featured Artists As an avid fan of all things plush and cute, when I came across Chelsea’s “adoptable” monsters, it was love at first sight. With their distinctive features and bug-eyed creature stares, what’s not to love?
All of her monsters are hand sewn and stuffed with a whole lot of love and personality – eachone is terrifically unique and the collection comes in a variety of shapes and sizes – from your standard yeti to curious creatures called “monstroctopuses,” they seem like cartoon characters come to life. She even brings her not-so-scary beasties to other mediums with adorable earrings, big-toothed scarves, and other impressive creations. Chelsea will be attending her first craft show in New Hampshire on the 21st, so check out her DeviantArt page if you’re interested in seeing these cuddly cuties in person.
Looking for more of these guys? Check out her projects on DeviantArt or get an early start on your stocking stuffing at her Etsy store, Love and a Sandwich. If you’re looking for a bargain, you can also check out her discount plush shop at Lump and a Sandwich, where you can find her adorable buck-toothed “Lump” monsters for just $5.

Featured Artists It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of sweets, and who doesn’t love cupcakes? So when I saw Obitay’s Crafster Post, my eyes (and stomach!) were immediately enticed. But unlike some of the other treats you’ll find on her blog, these certainly aren’t edible. In fact, the tiny treats are made of polymer clay, and fixed with a hook to be used as a charm. The cakes are so artfully crafted that at first glance one might think they weren’t to scale, or were glazed with real icing. The tiny sprinkles and decorations on top really make the cakes, adding a whimsical touch to the charming sweets.
Though there’s not much to her blog yet, I certainly will be keeping an eye on it – in addition to these tasty treats she’s decided to share her baking adventures as well! As for the charms, this Canadian currently in the UK decided to take her minuscule munchies one step further: forever immortalizing the goodness of Tim Horton’s in a wearable, delectable doughnut charm!
Want to see more of her sweets or clay work? Tobi’s blog can be found at Obitay and Ukelay.
