This is a page for potential art markets and interested folks to peruse my pieces and see if they like the cut of my gib. This is not a comprehensive catalog. I apologize for any image compression, I try my best. If you like my energy, feel free to reach out at RareDogs@proton.me, or follow me on Bluesky at raredogs.bsky.social.
A lot of this stuff can or could've been bought with dollerz. I don't take commissions yet but I'm interested--I am, however, open for Art Tradez. Everything is OOAK and I won't repeat designs--but I do re-use and re-tool my self-made plush patterns. My attention span refuses to let me make the same thing in the same way twice and I like it that way! It also makes each art-object unique for the wearer/owner, in defiance of TECHNO CAPITALIST FUTURE SCUM who make Everything One Thousand Times FOR EVERYONE and for NO ONE all at once. My art is for ME and maybe for YOU. But if you have it, no one else has it, and that's apocalypse, baby.
I vended at my first big event! Cutiefest in Cal Anderson Park on April 12th. I had a great turnout! I sold most of my clothing, some zines, and most of my patches. I got so much love from folks, met a lot of wonderful artists, including some I look up to a lot. Hearing so many positive comments about my work was really uplifting and really disorienting! I've never considered myself good enough as an artist to stand up to the gaze of those I admire. But I don't have a lot of time to ponder this--thank you so much for supporting me! Now I have to crank up my production again for another event ^_^ Hope to see you soon!
2026 is year of the Big. This has been a very productive year for me. I've had opportunities to take my art more seriously and get invested in the furry community. 2025 was about learning embroidery and practicing on smaller, simpler pieces--2026 is when I learn to hone my talent and gear up for larger, more involved projects utilizing both repurposed clothing and original patterns.
I love this piece! The lines turned out super clean and I'm beginning to notice the fruits of my labors paying off in terms of style consistency. Her pose is cute and the wings are some of the best I've done yet.
A heavily modified waffle top with scenekid soccer vibes. I opened up the sleeves on this one and stitched in extra fabric for texture and color. The back "patch" is jersey material and felt. I experimented with machine-sewing this one since I need to work on saving my wrists a little. The front patch is also jersey and felt.

Two small fairy dogs hear the prayers of the captured fairy dog, Lilac Bloom. They come carrying her favorite flowers but they're unable to spring her free... I wonder what will become of her. This piece is stitched onto a uniqlo dress with cute pockets, and the embroidery is done on muslin. I used a vintage floral for the trim around the fairy pups and some vintage buttons I had in my notions as the fairy trails. This is for CUTIES ONLY!
A partner for "Devil Dog," which comes later in this catalog. While the Devil Dog's head turned out a bit too big overall, this one turned out just fine, but the eye placement makes it look a little walleyed and wide. I'm proud of the tiny heart details and the wings. The ear lining fabric is a super cute hand-dyed vintage cotton. Since they're partners, I'm hoping someone takes them home together, and I plan on offering a discount for both. Both Devil and Cupid are filled with weighted polyfil, which makes them satisfying comfort pets to keep in your lap or on your shoulder. I like to hold them against my chest. It's very soothing.
This piece uses a thrifed, long plaid button-up as a base. I added lace accents to the bottom hem, star buttons to the collar, a large floor-dragger cat tail to the back, and a total of six hand-made patches in a variety of stitching styles. I focused on texture and color in this piece, and felt particularly inspired by early web design. I made this piece specifically for Trans Women. I love you.
I made this in early January, I think. It was the first piece of mine utilizing quilting techniques and multiple textiles (not just t-shirt fabric anymore, like a lot of my older work! My sibling's girlfriend bought it, so it's still in the family :)
My partner named this one. It was originally just supposed to be a weird guy made of scrap fabric. It looks kind of like a sexy Avatar. That's an accident. I don't know what to do with it so it's living in my room until I figure out how I feel...
A gift for my aunts. A hand-quilted and hand-embroidered tapestry of their favorite dog, Benjamin. I'll be making a partner project of their late dog-daughter, Maggie, later in summer '26.
I found this long dress in a thrift store and needed to make a long stuffed animal to wear it. Here it is, passed out in fear after playing Alien Isolation.
Hat with faux fur bunny ears and a little embroidered OC to match.
Simple red thrifted sweater with anime cat girl bust embroidered onto it. Not my favorite piece.
Simple tank with tiny catgirl embroidered in a heart on the chest. This one was in my personal collection for a while before I decided to part with it.
A great thrifted sweater with a funky styrofoam-cup type pattern. The pony is embroidered on felt with a stiff backing added so it holds its shape over time. The author JES really liked this one when I posted it to Instagram, but tbh I think the sweater is what makes it beautiful.
I made this pattern so I could make a small plush of my fursona, and kept retooling it to use for different OC designs. This is the second dog I made with this pattern. The horns are a bit crooked and the head is a bit too fat because I hadn't yet got the hang of how big/small my seam margins should be.
My first more complicated piece, made early in the year. There's a lightweight fabric tail stitched into the back. The embroidery is done in holographic gold thread. This piece was inspired by the Dogstar, Canis Majoris.
I originally made this to vend, but I fell in love and decided to keep it. The black backing is faux velvet.
This was the original plush I made with the pattern I later used on the Devil Dog. This version of the pattern ended up a little long in the torso, so I tweaked it to be a little shorter and chubbier in future versions.
Just a drawing I did of my fursona. I feel very inspired by Yuri Sekiya lately.
A patch jacket made for people to keep putting patches on! May the dogs guard you.
I actually made this early in 2025, but I accidentally filed it into my '26 folder and I know I will forget to add it to my '25 one. Anyway. I wore this to 2025 trans pride with a tiny pair of gogo shorts. It's a bit small and that's a bit sexy. It's a seldom worn piece, but much-loved in my personal collection. Turns out there's just rarely an occasion to wear a shirt with asshole and balls on it.
I can't remember when this one came into being. The collar was salvaged from a too-small velvet children's dress and sewn into this mock-neck t-shirt with embroidered details. Inspired by my love of sparkledogs This is my ideal body.
Inspired by gaudy vintage pillows and gaudy big-eyed cats. I kinda failed on the ruffle detail, but it was my first time trying to do ruffles.
Made in early April as a good-luck charm for a work client of mine as they face some health challenges. On the ears are traditional symbols of luck and prosperty. The pattern is new and made by me, inspired by the classical stuffed animals my great grandmother used to make. The body is made of muslin.
I had the little tassle I used for the tail for a long time in my Notions basket, and the idea kinda came from that, plus I had recently purchased a ton of knock-off MLP toys from Goodwill in big bags. Kitsch didn't like them at first but I think they grew on them. This shirt is supposed to be reminiscent of the knock-off toys and not the original ones, haha, but I'm not sure if that came through.
A simple embroidered sweater with a shy sparkledog design. This seems to be Kitsch's favorite piece of mine.
I made this specifically to wear at the February Furswap in Cap Hill, Seattle. It was a valentine's themed event, and I wanted to wear a valentine's themed outfit. This purse turned out WAY bigger than I intended it to be, which is what I get for making the pattern as I go. I want to make another in the future, and tweak the pattern so that his body is smaller, chubbier, and able to hold more. I made the collar from scratch, as well, and the strap, which has hand-made ribbons with chain details, though it's a bit too long. As it is now, this purse can only hold a pack of joints, my debit card, my ID, and a lighter. My phone can fit if I take the case off. I love wearing this out and I always get lots of compliments on it. It's a massive statement piece.
I loved Warrior Cats as a kid, and especially loved Shadowclan. While reminiscing about the long hours I used to spend on my mom's desktop roleplaying Warriors on every forum I could find, I decided to make this shirt as a tribute to the edgiest character in fiction.
Another tribute to another edgy character. He's saying his classic catch-phrase.
"The Slings and Arrows of Outrageous Fortune" is a quote from Shakespeare, but also a level name from my favorite video game franchise, Marathon (specifically Marathon 2). I wanted to make myself a shirt on this comfortable, oversized shirt base, and I specifically wanted something Marathon-related, but I wasn't really sure I could make anything that cool or in that style, which isn't really congruent with my own. Instead, I focused on my strengths, incorported Marathon's colors, and the quote. And I can get away with saying it's just from Shakespeare around folks who don't care about nerd-ass Boomer Shooters.
A multi-textile patch jacket with a huge back patch. I really love this design. I used it to try out a lot of new techniques and textures, and tried to incorporte as many colors as possible. The jacket itself has a glitter leopard pattern on the shoulders and part of the breast, which complements my work on the back really well. I was really excited to find it at the thrift store. The design immediately jumped into my mind.
An early-in-the-year piece featuring a little embroidered wolf on salvaged t-shirt fabric. The base tee is a tie-dyed pink, a little too long to be a crop top, a little too short to be a regular shirt. I felt inspired by carousel rides for this one.
Some little doodles I've been doing on artist trading cards. I try to do one a day, but I don't always keep up with them. I try to carry these around in case I meet other artists in the world who want to trade, but I haven't had a chance to whip them out yet.
And, of course, my NY's resolution project--my fursuit head! I finished this in time for Vancoufur, which really surprised me. It's way too heavy. I don't know if I ever wanna make another one, but I learned a lot of valuable techniques in making this that have been helping me make more complicated plushies.
2025 was the year I picked up sewing again, and started taking it seriously as an embodiment and extension of my art process. The textures of textile and embroidery really help me feel more attached to my art style, and I've always been a huge fan of fashion of all kinds, so the leap to "designing" upcycled clothing made a lot of sense to me. I made a lot of patches at first. I originally started "upcycling" (I hate this word, blegh) due to financial insecurity--I wanted clothes that looked nice, but didn't have the money to spend on new clothes, so I made them new myself. I vended zines for the first time this year, and went to Furswap #1 in Cal Anderson as an unsanctioned vendor. I just set up on a blanket and gave my stuff away to anyone who was interested, for free! I wanted other folks to have the same euphoria I did surrounding clothing when they were feeling financially insecure. This practice still guides my pricing sensibilities--I price clothes and plushies much lower than the actual work that goes into them. I want people to feel excited about "finding" my art at vending events on the "cheap" ;P
These are patches I made from old t-shirt scraps to give to any vendors I bought things from at Furswap #1. Early on, I worked mostly with t-shirt scraps because it was the only material I readily had on hand--I scrounged a lot of old tees from donation bins at work and the trash at my apartment building. All the shirts were washed before use, of course!
More t-shirt patches, this time with a bit of denim from a pair of personal jeans that took so much wear and tear that they were no longer wearable. These two patches I made as gifts for my furry friends, Trekkie and Chroma.
I went to visit my partner's family for Christmas in 2025 and they got me a giftcard to a very fancy yarn and hobby store. They didn't have fabric yardage, but they did have sashiko thread and needles, which I bought in abundance. I also bought this very fine-woven "embroidery cloth" that I cut up into pieces to use for these awkward little patches as practice pieces. My original idea was to give them out to anyone who spoke to me at ANW, but not a lot of folks did that, as I was in a pretty large group of friends that warded off as much stranger-engagement as I'd seen in years past. Instead, I gave them out to vendors I bought from in the Dealer's Den.
I made this as a special gift for Crow Vendor at ANW in January '26, though I finished the patch right before the new year. Here you can see my style really coming through for my '26 projects! I don't know Crow Vendor personally, but I knew I wanted to buy lots of prints from them at ANW, so I wanted to make them a special gift as a tip.
These were patches I made at the end of Autumn 2025, and you can see how my techniques and skill have been elevated just a little from the earlier ones! I utilize multiple colors of floss here for more dramatic, vibrant looks, my stitches are tighter, and my lines are much cleaner. You may also notice that I've upgraded from t-shirt fabric to other textiles, and from regular cotton thread to actual embroidery floss.
This is a personal patch on my battle jacket. The character is my OC, Jessika. She has a bald monk's pate. She's from a yet-unstarted comic series my partner and I came up with wherein furries glibly re-enact scenes from the bible. Who knows if that will ever happen or if it's even a good idea...
This was the first patch I made in full-floss color, with no unstitched white spaces. It took me several weeks to complete, and the border hem sucks real bad because I didn't leave myself enough margin material to stitch it onto my jacket properly. On top of all that, my fursona doesn't even have this body type or design anymore, so it was outdated as soon as I finished it. Still, a very lovely addition to my jacket!
I made this from scratch. The pattern was my own concotion, and the fabric was from an old pair of jeans. I made this while I was really high and when I was done it felt like I'd done it in a dream...
Cigarette is my dignified Russian Lady, she's my little pride and joy. I wanted to make a plush to match my outfits (I never ended up making her more than the one outfit, but that doesn't mean I can't make more one day...) and describe the way I felt in my body. She is my ideal form and my muse. She has pierced nipples and a tiny cock, with beads for testicles inside her balls that you can feel and move around.
I made the sleeves and collar on this shirt out of scrap fabric I had laying around, then used scrap t-shirt to make the patches on the front and back. I lived with an artist (Navidermy) in a punk house for a while who would make these really cool shirts out of old t-shirt letters, just mixing them up to make new words and phrases, like collage, and I felt really inspired by that for the back--also, I didn't want to hurt my wrists embroidering big block letters. I still have a mentality that, if something is beyond a certain size, it's better to save my wrists and use a different medium, even if I would like the look of embroidery better. This one was a personal piece for a long while, but eventually got cycled into my sale items just because I don't wear it all that much, and I don't go to very many raves, so it doesn't get its full intended use. The sleeves are super-long for maximum Flail-ability.
Two quick shirts I made to give out at Furswap for free. Kitsch really liked the first one. I wanted to make something that seemed like an Angel.
This is my favorite piece in my personal collection. I will likely never let this one go. The idea was to make a shirt based off a fake video game, with text boxes and "sprites" to make it seem as real as possible. People occasionally ask me what the characters are from, which I guess means I succeeded. All the fabrics are from old t-shirts. This project took me several weeks to complete. I'd like to revisit the characters sometime for a future project. The "Rave Angel" says: "Feeling lost" Try using [H-Bar] to equip your shovel and dig holes." H-Bar is a symbol in physics used to denote the Planck Constant divided by 2pi. I was really into physics at the time.
I made an absolute load of Pokemon plush when I was growing up, well into my college years. Most of the earliest ones were made only of those cheap felt rectangles you could buy at Joann's for $0.25 a piece--it was all I could afford, and I was so desperate to own Pokemon plush! It was the 90s/early 2000s and Pokemon plush weren't as ubiquitous or well-made as they are now. Specifically, I made a Shadow Lugia plush that I'd carry around with me everywhere, pretty much until it dissolved. I was obsessed with Gale of Darkness. I don't have pictures of the earliest junk, but I'm trying to collect some pictures of my 2010s-2020 Ouvre just for posterity. This largely means reaching out to folks who I've gifted things to in the past, and they don't always know where those mysterious pokemon plush got off to.... Since many of my friends have moved multiple times over, a lot of times it's just that they're in storage and can't be located. C'est La Vie.
My pretty little lady! I made her in the summer of 2016 when I was living with my former partner in my parent's basement, working at a greenhouse, playing lots of DND, and dreaming of better times to come. The pattern is my own creation. I reused this pattern a lot for different pokemon who had this quadraped body type.
