^_^ Okay, where to start.  Well, I originally set out to make a Japanese style "ufo catcher" felt doll of Ashura's character Onyx (from Promises) as a gift for her birthday. However, the doll fell behind schedule, and I ended up just drawing this picture (the picture on the left) quickly for her birthday.  ^_^ 

However, she had no idea that I was making this doll for real until it arrived in a box at her house.  Because of the rush, I forgot to take photographs of it - but thankfully Ashura was willing to take photos of the doll at her house.  I really enjoyed making the doll, but it will probably be the only one I ever make - it took FAR too long to make!!! I'm just glad it went to a nice home. ^_~
