Naughty and Nice

Holly — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0000

Here is my second Octopal ‘Naughty’. She follows Nice around making weird “clack click clack” noises. Nice pretends not to care but secretly is scared to turn around They are both me testing out a new pattern i made, but i am thinking about making another so sell. For the next one i will pick two colours for each, dark for Naughty and light for Nice, as i think these ones have got a bit too much going on!

The Octopal

This funny Pentapus appeared in my garden the other day looking for a place to stay, i gave her a shrimp sandwich and now she lives with me!

She has been in the pipeline for a while, but didn’t turn out quite how i expected, im not sure about her just yet.

What do you think?

A peek at whats to come

Holly — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0000

Here is a little peek at the direction some of my new designs are going to go in. Ive learnt a lot from my last set of plushes, the little girls in monster suits. I enjoyed setting myself a limit of only producing 10 of them but i think making all 10 in a row has made my blog a big stagnent.

My next line of plushes will come along a bit more sporadically and mixed up with other things – while making the little girls i have been coming up with lots of new ideas that I’m desperate to make as plushes!

I am also working on some cake toppers for a friends wedding which i will post pictures of in the next couple of weeks, i am very excited about getting them finished!!

2.5″ Skeleton Qee

Holly — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:37:41 +0000

This little guy has been around for a while but i only just got a tripod for my camera so these are my first pictures of him in the dark that aren’t blurry! He is a 2″ Qee (I think he was an alien? I remember him having a silver head) keychain. I Removed the keychain attatchment and all the existing paint and gave him a new neon pink look with lots of shiny shiny laquer. In black light he glows even better because the UV paint AND the phosphorescent plastic plastic glow.

New Little Girls in Monster Suits avaliable

Holly — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:57:16 +0000

Numbers 5,6 and 7 of 10 are now up for grabs

These plushes is part of a limited run of 10 called ‘Little Girls in Monster Suits’ each one of the 10 has a different monster costume on. These are number 5, 6 and 7.

Unlike my other plushes these little girls in monster suits are collectible art toys and not designed for heavy cuddling as their faces are original paintings which have been printed onto fabric and carefully hand stitched into place.

They are around 11″ tall (not including their ears) and made from fluffy fur and super soft fleece. Ther hands and feet are weighted so they dangle when you pick them up. Their claws are made from bendy pvc.
