So I’ve been quiet because I’ve been busy. While I haven’t commented a lot, I have been peeking in now and then to see all of the amazing thing you all have been creating. Most of the projects in this series are first drafts of new plushies. Some have been improved. Some still need work. I didn’t realize how many I had made until I started looking through my pictures. Let me know what you think,
Two year olds are weird. A while ago I made a spatula plushie for my cousin’s grandson to replace the the hard plastic one he carried around everywhere. Not too long ago, a couple asked if I could do custom work. Their niece (age 2) had attached to a bottle of cayenne pepper and they wanted something safer. I finally did some math and some experimenting and figured out how to do a cylinder. These are the first three tries at the pepper bottle. Which version do you like the best?
As long as I was making cylinders… This one will definitely end up on the Isle of Misfit Toys although I’m not to sure how is Toy Not Included notice will fair there. I’ll share pictures of the second and third drafts later. No one else will probably ever notice, but the top and bottom connections are different!
Cosplay Kitty wanted to dress up as a Martian. That was easy. But then…
He also wanted a space ship. This one too is a first draft and will end up on the Isle. But I know how to do it now, I will do what is essentially a quilt binding around the edges on the next one, in addition to making it a wee bit smaller. Although he could invite all the rest of his space friends over for a party in this one.
And then… well, I couldn’t decide which version I liked better. I put them all out and I only have the one on the left left. So I guess he isn’t a winner. It will probably be one of the two on the right. What do you think?
Lastly, Cosplay Kitty decided that I needed to STOP making all the things I ‘needed’ to make and make him a gingerbread costume – the little poop. So I dropped everything and made him a gingerbread boy, He really, really wanted to have a leg bitten off, but I resisted.
Next up Marshmallow. I have to keep that cylinder streak going!
