Kaiju (New Series)

4/1/2020

It has been ages since I blogged, but to be fair it's been a while since Buffalo made anything new. Now that she's been furloughed from her day job she's producing again. She has launched a new kaiju series of hats. It is still very much a work in progress, but I thought I'd share her work so far.

First up, the guy we all know and love, Godzilla (or Gojira, if you prefer).

After crocheting Godzilla, Buffalo went to work on King Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster.

I love his wings.

But what can these two behemoths fight over? My laptop?

Raffia Godzilla v. raffia Ghidorah

Nah. Mount Fuji!

Yes, that is a hat. Her original plan was to attach the kaiju securely to the hat, but they are so much fun to play with that now she's thinking of making them removable. What do you think?

Stay tuned for more.

Mermaid Fashion Blouse

7/7/2019

I've been watching the progress of this blouse for some time. Years, in fact. I blogged about it back in 2016, but at that time Buffalo had already been working on it for three years. It is finished at last, and it is glorious. Behold, the Mermaid Fashion Blouse.

Easter is almost upon us. Whether you want a big floppy hat or something small and smart, Buffalo has you covered. I am particularly fond of the shepherdess hat with cheetah ears. So cute! Men's hats too.

Custom Bouquets

1/18/2019

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, followed in a few months by Mother's Day. You are probably aware that Buffalo crochets flowers since they adorn many of her hats. Have you considered a custom raffia flower bouquet? Buffalo can make flowers of your choosing with some advance notice. If you want a custom bouquet for any occasion, contact Buffalo.

Note: I just noticed that the Etsy store 'Request Custom Order' and 'Contact shop owner' buttons on the main shop page are grayed out on chrome. This should not be the case. If you want to place a custom order, you can do it from specific listings, e.g. from here. I have custom orders enabled so I don't know why these buttons are inaccessible and the forums are currently read-only so I can't ask other shop owners. You can email Buffalo to explain what you want in a custom order but it's easier for her to do the sale through Etsy.

Note #2: I just checked the Etsy store with Firefox and Microsoft Edge browser and the custom order and contact buttons are enabled there. Not sure what the issue is, maybe my popup blocker is in the way? In any case, you can request custom orders through Etsy.

Halloween 2018

Time for the annual Halloween sales pitch. Is there anyone who makes more Halloween-worthy goods than Buffalo? She makes masks, pirate coats, silly hats, and themed Aloha shirts, among other things. Here's is a sample of her current stock (more on Etsy). If you want a special order, better contact Buffalo now. She has limited time available to accommodate special orders.
