I got really excited after the inkybear stencil flip experiments… I thought how cool it would be if the stencils ended in some kind of “texture” or pattern that I could bleed over with my roller.
So I created 3 new stencils, all smaller than the one I made for the original inkybear stencil: Cloud, Spike and Lightning.
Here’s a hero shot of the Lightning group (the best of the bunch):

Here’s the Super Berry Bun Bun quiz for anyone who’d like to know which bun bun they are most like… Currently when it shows your results it has an eency bit of code up at the top… scroll past and you’ll get a glimpse into the depths of your soul.
So the main conceit of the Super Berry Bun Buns is that they are cut-outable and sewable. Into stuffed animals. This concept has received raised eyebrows and 3 sales to date, but I’m still going to push with it a little bit more.
In that interest I bought 3 yards of fabric and printed some buns onto it. A couple nights ago I sewed up and stuffed my first buny pupu:
For the live tshirt printing at DesignBox I had to research a new method for printing… I didn’t want to use a screen because they clog quickly and have to be cleaned soon after you’re finished. Not great for one offs. I chose to use stencils, spray mount and these little roller brushes used for trim painting in houses.
While printing that night I thought of flipping the stencil and using 2 different colors. Every time you flip the stencil you’ll get the ink pressed on from the side you just printed. Make sense? So here’s an inky bear (my newest little critter) printed using this method:
flava: rainbow of fruit flavors
type: almost all happy together
flava: strawberry
type: caustically happy
from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny bubu! You are caustically happy - a burbling eruption of giddy delight. Why can’t the other bun buns keep up with you? You think buny pupu should spend more of that brain power on having fun - same with buny beper… that bun needs to RELAX! Buny beru is your friend and always enjoys your tricks. When you sleep one night a week you first sit in the soft, sad and soothing darkness with buny susu.
flava: blue raspberry
type: genuinely friendly
from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny beru! You are genuinely friendly - an architect of friendship. You appreciate all the aspects of all the bun buns. You see how buny susu’s sadness secretly compliments buny beper’s enthusiasm. You see how buny bubu’s spontaneity compliments buny pupu’s more rigid demeanor. It pains you when they are not getting along, but when they are you take pride because you know it was in part due to your friendly little nudges.
flava: blackberry
type: comfortably sad
from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny susu… You are sad, and you are comfortable being sad. Your favorite bun bun is buny beru, who listens and listens to your endless sadness which flows like warm fresh poetry from your heart. Buny pupu means well but doesn’t listen well. You believe over-cheery buny bubu has secret wells of hidden sadness. Buny beper is antagonistic and way too busy.
flava: raspberry
type: unabashedly brainy
from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny pupu! You are unabashedly brainy and take great pride in being called a nerd, dork or geek. Buny beper’s your favorite bun because he needs your help on projects and buny beru’s a great pal who always invites you over for pizza. You’ve tried to cheer up buny susu but get frustrated when the cheer doesn’t stick. Buny bubu interests you from a research perspective.
flava: cherry berry
type: consistently enthusiastic
from the super berry bun bun personality quiz :
You are buny beper! You are enthusiastic and energetic and you focus on getting things DONE. You value the intellectual input of buny pupu, as well as the good will that buny beru brings to projects. Buny bubu is too distractible for you and you avoid buny susu because that sadness just slows you down.
