Sailor

- Sailor -

The final finished piece Sailor for the Animation Art Show in Dublin from the 17 - 19 Oct. Really looking forward to it, I think it's going to be a fantastic show and auction this year!

Here's some wip photos...

Ciaran made the little wooden pipe! Here's a few more pictures of the finished piece...

Sun and Moon

New version of my Sun/Moon two sided plushies, made as a (very) limited edition for three lovely babies of friends born recently. I added a loop so they can be hung up showing either sun or moon side depending on whether its time for bed :)

Only got shots with two of the plushies since one of the babies arrived a little before expected! It was nice to make these knowing already who they were going to.

On the technical side the newest challenge was making the loops nice and clean with the seams lying flat. I used some matching fabric on each side too. For the stars I used silver embroidery thread which was a fun detail, but that stuff does not behave normally. Its really slippy, like tiny metal strands!

Heather and her Feathers

Recently I made this plushie for a special Kris Kindle art swap.

She's wearing a bird costume, a cape made from feather-pattern material that you can take on or off. 

To get across the bird costume theme I also made a beak/hat. The cape was certainly the hardest part, I don't often make clothes. I ending up having to make a lot of corrections but it was worth it in the end!

Here she is next to the design I based her off.

Lumberjack

This lumberjack has been waiting for me to finish him for quite a while. He's happy now he's all put together with a frame and a hill and everything.

My submission for the Animation Art Show in Dublin! It's in aid of couple of great charities, check out the facebook page for more details. The entries so far look brilliant!

The pieces will be on display in the Science Gallery for the first weekend of November with the auction taking place on the 3rd.

And thanks to Ciaran (who also did a submission, its aces) for the frame, paint/paper help and carving a special wooden hook!

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

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 selling this guy, to fond of him.
