plush commission

He has plushy hip dysplasia but it just adds to his cuteness, in my opinion. The body and mane fabrics are super soft. 

Some details that don't show up well in these photos are the stars on the inner ear fabric and the matte/gloss damask pattern on the back of the ears. 

oldies but goodies

These lithographs were made in 2006. Both were small editions of 7 plus one Artist Proof of each.
They are for sale in my Etsy shop.

Monster #4

aka "last-minute monster". I made this guy in the beginning of September, and can't believe how "quickly" I was able to throw him together. 11 days, but many many hours. No pattern used. He is also a hand puppet.

"Grawrr"

This is my third monster, and by far the most complicated. He's pretty large, and a hand puppet to boot. I made him for my 2yr old niece. She named him "Grawrr". 

octoelafonticorn

Introducing my most recent creation:

Main Entry: oc·to·el·a·font·i·corn -aka- Monster#2
Pronunciation: \octo-el-a-font-i-corn\

Function: noun

Inflected Form(s): plural octoelafonticorns also octoelafonticorn


My newest project is making monsters for my niece to give her on each birthday. This handsome fellow was for her first birthday (the other monster in the second to last picture, "Monster #1" was for her literal birth day).

The creation of this guy required me to make my own pattern, a first for me. Much harder than I expected, and I ended up making a test Octoelafonticorn to see where I needed to revise the pattern, or change fabric types. Monster#1 was hand-sewn and created organically; I did not create a pattern for him before starting. While he came out alright in the end, I decided that I would approach the next monster a little more logically, and arm myself with a sewing machine as well.


Currently, I am working on simplifying the pattern so I can produce a limited run of Octoelafonticorns to sell on Etsy at an affordable price. Or that is the plan, anyways.
