Look what I made!

I love everything art, from drawing to beading/jewelry making to painting and everything else in between, and I have recently been into making bags and plushies! Maybe I'll post pics of my Adventure Time bags later too

Here's the story: As a tomboy, I felt "bad" for liking cute things, because that's not who I projected as to others (this is around 6-7 years old). So I never accepted myself for liking cute things/pokemon, and Bellossom was one of them. She was so cute and flowery, but it was so not me. But I had this Bellossom keychain at that time that I got in Japan, and I've always had it (so I've had it for about 15 years - now it's on my set of car keys. The colors on it has mostly fallen off, so it's just a green and reddish blob to people who don't know Bellossom at a glance XD). Idk why I've always decided to keep it, but I did and I do.

For the last month or so, now that I've started teaching a bit more, I have been REALLY working on loving and accepting myself for who I am. And the more I looked at the beat up keychain, I thought, "huh. It's OKAY for me to like cute pokemon." and that just kind of sunk in. And as an acceptance, I wanted a Bellossom plush, because she represents "Sagojyou's self acceptance." But the plushies online looked so ugly, I thought I could make one better than that (XD) so I put my crafty craft art skills into use and made one! (Yay for the new sewing machine too btw!) It took 3-5 days or so (worked on it a few hours a day), and it's finally finished! The background is a little flower tree from the Japanese Girl's Day doll set and a Himalayan salt rock lamp. Also now in my "pokemon catching team" I have a shiny Bellossom that I brought over from the original Sapphire (What are the odds of all of these coincidences, right? )

She is about 5.5 inches/14 cm tall, and her body (not the petal part) is about 2.5 inches/6 cm wide. I made it small because I wanted a cutesy size rather than a big one XD
She is made out of minky/cuddle fabric and her face is made using felt
