Bombini

A special little bumble bee made for a friend. It was fun to make something so small.

Starboy 2.0

Starboy 2.0

First plush in a long time. I decided to go back and make a new version of a very early plushie from 2007. I actually still like the wonky-ness of the early one.
Now that I have all my fabric and my sowing machine with me I am hoping to make at least one plushie per month since I didn't get to make any last year.

The old starboy

Shop open!

It's been a long time since I've had a reason to update this blog, but now I've opened up shop again. This time its called Plush and Stuff and I'm selling paintings as well as plushies!

I have some items on SALE now, so if you'd like to get a plushie of mine now is the best time.

After working abroad for most of this year I hope to get back to making some plushies in the coming months.

Bunny Photographer

This is a special bunny plush made for Niclas. I took a WIP picture just for fun too.
Its made with fleece, wool tweed, felt and cotton jeans.

Lrrr Plushie

This is the last commissioned plushie I made before heading off to Denmark.

I don't usually make copyrighted cartoon characters but I made this for someone who actually works on Futurama. Anyway I decided to make Lrrr since he doesn't get as much love as Bender (who is also great).

This was made with a green wool fabric and felt. I am not currently taking commissions for plushies.

Flower Faerie

This was done on commission for a friend, but it is based on a design that you can see on my art blog. The eyes were a bit of a challenge as I haven't made them like this before, but I think they turned out ok.

Thank you to Ciaran too who took the pictures below

Link-pops

I made a little Link plushie :)

Not sure if I will sell him, if anyone is interested he's 40E + shipping.
If you want him let me know.

He's all felt and some stuffing.

The King plushie

This is a cross post from my art blog where I started posting about the king design first.
I was looking forward to making him and I'm pleased with how he turned out. He's made from felt and some really soft red material thats a bit like velvet.
He's for sale now in my etsy and dawanda shops.

Purple Lady Plush

A purply plush, a commission for Christmas. All felt with a removable hat.

You cant really see it here but she has doc martins on, so there is flowers and yellow stitching on her boots to match them to real ones.

Spock Notch

This is a Spock plush that I made for a commission. I enjoyed making this one, and I like the way it turned out.

Made from felt and fleece.

Diamonds

So here is somemore plushie decorations I've made for christmas. I used custom printed fabric of my own design from Spoonflower. (You can order some here if you like it). Bringing a bit of bling to christmas.

I'm selling these decorations along with others at the Crafty Market in Dublin on sat 11th, and also online at my etsy and dawanda shops. Cheers!

Slacker Cats

This is a commission I finished recently. The plushies are based off of two cartoon characters.
Made from fleece, felt and stuffed with polyester stuffing.

Little Children Christmas Decorations

I made a few children Christmas decorations, they are all hand-sewn and all unique.

Check them out, along with more pictures in my siopa (shop for all the non-Irish): my Etsy one and my Dawanda one. *jingle of christmas*

Snowflakes

I got some custom made fabric from Spoonflower with watercoloured snowflakes. I made them up into some plush christmas decorations.

Theres a big snowflake on one side and patterened small ones on the other. The fabric with the small snowflakes is available in my Spoonflower shop too. I really like how the watercolour look of the design came through on the fabric.

Available now in my dawanda and etsy shops :) christmassssy

Spoonflower Fabric

I've made a couple of my fabric designs available for purchase at Spoonflower. Its a great website that makes up whatever fabric you design. There is a lot of great fabric desgined by different people there.
I have a few more designs that I'll make available once the swatches have arrived and I can double check the colours.

Here's what I have available now:

Yellow Ele

This is a baby yellow elephant who is just a bit sleepy. Lucky enough it has its own blanket to keep warm.

The ele is made from fleece and cotton fabric patterned with bees and cats. Its a really cute fabric, as is the duck fabric on the little blanket.

SOLD

Craft Market!

I am taking part in the Crafty Market on Sunday 2nd Oct!

I will be selling plushies and postcards and other odds and ends, so come by and say hello if your about.

The place is Shebeen Chic, at the bottom of George's street, near the George's Street Arcade. Its open from 1pm to 6.30pm.

Red Lorry

Decided to make a bigish red lorry (19x13x16 cm). Its mostly felt with some nice traffic patterned material on the side and red gingham on the bottom. I used some clear PVC for the window so its sort of looks like glass. The number plate on the back reads HPP 2010 (happy plush plush).

It was a bit of an experiment but I think it turned out pretty charming. Its up now on in my etsy and dawanda shop.

Thanks to Ciaran for the help with the photos.
