Of fish people and plushie beginnings

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin! I make things. The variety of these thing that I make is fairly wide. Generally my preference is clothes and costumes, but those take a little while and are more complicated so sometimes I like to relax and make something small. Like a necklace. Or a plush toy. In this blog I will be going through my backlog of things I have made, and then starting on projects currently in development and so on.

Now, I know that out of the corner of your eye you can see a strange looking plushie and want me to stop waffling about myself so you can find out more about what it is. No worries, here we go!

This is Eridan, he is the first plushie I ever made, and you can tell. I didn't have enough black felt to make his head quite the right shape, so his chin is really very weird. He is a character from an online webcomic called Homestuck and despite his weird chin, I am very proud of how he turned out. Instantly recognisable as the character, and actually pretty good.

The trousers were interesting to figure out how to make, but black sharpie on blue cotton worked out very well. As did black sharpie on blue felt for the scarf.  The cloak, which you can't see too well, took two attempts and still isn't perfect. Overall though, not bad for a first ever plushie!
