Happy Valentines day!

Look what arrived in the post last week! This is Mela , who was a trade with my new friend Paul who runs Stitches and Glue. She is gorgeous, super soft, well made and came so thoughtfully packaged. Everyone should run over there and buy one right now!!
I love her funny little face 
See the monster i sent paul here
“This friendly yeti is a one-off art toy. She’s around 12″ tall (not including her ears) Her face is an original sculpt by Holly Stanway (thats me in the last picture, to give you an idea of the size!) which I then handcast in resin, painted and sealed with 3 layers of matte lacquer and 5 layers of gloss on her eyes and lips. She has weighted feet so she can stand unassisted and individually weighted claws that move and dangle nicely when you pick her up. Her footpads are made of super soft orange velvet.” Edit: sorry, she is now sold
Last week i sent off this grey skull yeti to go and live with the super talented Paul who runs stitches and glue. This is Pauls picture of him with his own monster Ohdo at his new house.
I am so excited about receiving one of his monsters, as soon as i saw them i know one would fit right in at castle Holly.
My camera died at the weekend so I’m off to hopefully get it fixed tomorrow. I’m working on some new plushes and i want to post pictures later this week!

RAR! a scary yeti! I made her to sell but she has settled into chez Holly too well! She is very good at snuggles 
Now she splits her time equally between the sofa and my room, getting lots of attention off whoevers round. Everyone who meets her says she reminds them of Sully from Monstes inc or one of the creatures from Where the Wild Things Are. I think i must have been subconciously inspired when i watched Monsters Inc the other day (i think its still my fave Pixar film) ive also started making Little Mikey – Mike Wazowski’s teddy bear with one eye and four legs he uses to make Boo laugh. Gah i love that film!
‘Sylvester The Shy Yeti’ is Octobers featured desktop. I put this painting up as a desktop a while back but was never happy with it so here is a nicer version!
