Raven Hatchling Plush Toys

I made 2 new plush Raven Hatchlings to take to OZ ComicCon last weekend. Happily both Poe and Cog found loving new homes before lunch on the first day!

Each Raven is roughly 15 cm tall (6 inches) made from soft grey and black fleece. They have felt “beards” and eye surrounds. The polyfil stuffing makes them very plump and squeezable.

Both have name tags with hand-cut leather and bead charms.

Anyone interested in having a Raven of their own can contact me through my Esty shop.

I will be listing more unique handmade plush toys and prints in my shop in the next few weeks.

Blue Eyes White Dragon Custom Plush

Lately I have had more requests for larger and more complex plushies. The latest custom plush order was for a “chibi” Blue Eyes White Dragon from Yu Gi Oh.

I interpreted the character into my own original design to than translate it into a plush toy pattern. The plush is made from quality soft fleece, felt and freehand machine embroidery details.
The design includes:
– Plastic “boned” wings
– Unique appliqué head marking
– Re-enforced open mouth with teeth

Completed plush was meant to stands approx. 10 inches tall but it ended up being closer to 15 inches high making it a good huggable size.

Chinese Lion Dance Plushies

I was so excited when I received the custom order request from the Hung Gar Yau Shu Martial Arts School (HGYS) to create 3 Lion Dance plushies for their 30th Anniversary celebration! The request was for 3 Lions based on their clubs colors; red, gold and green.

Coming down with a nasty flu during process resulted in “false start” with a not quite right pattern and one superfluous lion. But once I recovered I was able to modify the pattern and finish the plushies. I’m so proud of them!

The Lions are roughly 28cm long (nose to tail). They are made from soft fleece with embroidered eyes and face details and felt “fringe”. The mirror on the forehead is made from silver faux leather. All of my toys are machine embroidered freehand.

The mouth is re-enforced so it does not bulge with the stuffing inside and there are hand stiched pom pom nose details. The soles of the feet are stiffened with plasticard to help them stand.

The Lion plushies were part of the raffle and I was told they were very popular on the night 😀

Best Friends Biscuit & Potato Plushies

I recently had a very sweet custom plush order request to create a biscuit and a potato holding hands.

The story behind it is that the client gave a card to her friend about ten years ago that she has treasured with a cartoon of a potato and biscuit holding hands and the words “Friends: The Biscuit would only dare be just a biscuit when it is with it’s true friend the Potato”

The plush pair were ordered as a gift inspired by this card.

Approx 15cm tall plushies made of soft fleece with black plastic safety eyes.

Machine sewn with hand stitched details – felt sugar pieces and knotted potato ‘eyes”.

Filled with cuddly polyfil and plastic pellets for weight and balance.

Their hands are sewn together so they will never be separated 🙂
