Hey there! I'm brand new to the Needle and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm excited to be a part of this great plush community! I've been making plush for awhile now, and it's really become a creative compulsion- dare I say obsession? :) These guys are my contribution to the Crammed Organisms Show. I'm really bummed not to be able to get out to St. Louis to see it. The photos from the other night looked great!

Your designs are lovely, they remind me of 60s picture-book illustrations!
Thanks Jessica! My husband and I are VERY much into all sorts of old illustration, (we have WAY too many art/children's books- although can you really have too many?! :) ) and it has definitely been an inspiration. I LOVE Tomie de Paola, Quentin Blake, Mary Blair, Aliki, Evaline Ness, Richard Scarry, and Simon James, and...etc etc!
welcome to the group! i love the variety of your toys :) really like that pink goat in the back and the blue creature right under his head. awesome work :)
Thanks Eva! :)
Yes, love your style! Very whimsical--and I love whimsy! And children's picture books. When my first was born, it worked out well that I already had a collection!
I love your style, it's awesome! ♥
Thanks Everyone! I appreciate the feedback and support. I think that looking at and reading so many children's books as a kid really influenced who I am as an artist today. (And can be used to explain away my ever growing collection of books!) Thanks again! :)
I am really looking forward to contributing to the next swap!
