Big Update (it's been a while)

I haven’t posted in a while!  Busy, busy, busy.  Here’s a glance at the past few weeks:

Rough plush prototype I made from tonight's drawing.

Some parts of it work, some need to change.

Oh yeah...

Made this stuffed frog over the last weekend.  I will be making him a stuffed fly friend, too.  Maybe this next weekend.

I did the zipper mouth differently this time and added some piping between the zipper and the fleece.  It was more difficult to sew, but the stitching ended up being nicer because of the extra thickness.  Plus it looks like he has lips and teeth now.  I'll probably do that again.

Plush Challenge

I'm entering the Schmancy Olympic Challenge. For this contest, you are given a sport and you need to interpret it via plush.

My sport is "Made up sport".

The first sport I thought of was radish tossing. (Or maybe salad tossing?) Then I thought about maybe Copy-cat.  Or maybe Rock-Paper-Scissors.

I'm sure the perfect sport will occur to me eventually. Likely at 3am (natch!).

Here's a link to the contest: http://plushyou.blogspot.com/2010/01/schmancy-olympic-challenge.html

Daruma doll

Made from day 3 drawing.  My goal is to create stuff in 2010.
