Chibi Deer, Wool felt, and Bobbles

I've been a busy beaver, and have been too lazy to take pics, lol. I've had tables at 2 events recently (local event Pennington Day, and an artist table at Anime Next). Finally here are some pics of my latest works. This is a shortened list, there is the full posting with more pictures here: http://community.livejournal.com/cute_plush/522235.html

A variation on the chibi-quad pattern, a chibi deer!



The cutie on the right is sewn using mostly hand made wool felt. ^_^ I used tie-dyed minky for his ears and middle head part. There is cotton for the ear insides / tummy. The lace is sewn on top of the muzzle parts for a fun effect. The body stitching I did before sewing him up. It's free-form machine stitching with silver thread. It's fun to do! Though it adds a lot of time to making these little guys.



This is what the wool felt looks like raw. I make it in a tray in my sink using various merino wool roving, most of the colored roving is custom dyed form Etsy artists, I love the different colors! I cut it up and muslin back it to make into plush. This is cause it's too thin to use alone, and is not even in density cause it's handmade. Also, then you can free-form stitch it to the muslin to give it a quilted look. :)



...

These are the bobble creatures. They are one of my new attempts at a simple design / pattern, but still can be made unique and lets me be spontaneously creative with fabric and add-ons. Result? Fun little artsy ooak plushies.

Two on the left have painted ultrasuede faces, the one on the right has safety eyes, and his body is made with an overlay of wet felted wool. The middle one has cool patchwork fabrics on the back.

They have a jingle bell in them too! For scale, they are about 6" tall, weighted with PVC pellets





Here you can see the patchwork on the back of the pink one:

Hello TheNeedle Community! This is my first post. I'm Erin Froehlich and I've been sewing for several years now, but my passion has always been plushies. For me it's hard to compare the satisfaction that comes creating a new creature to anything else. In the past I've sewn them for friends, but now as I've been trying to find a job I can't help thinking how amazing it would be to make a living off them. The plushies below are the templates I'm thinking about designing a line around. You can see more pictures and info at www.weeofmanycolors.weebly.com. I would love to hear any comments or advice you have for me!

Meet Fifi-Lou

Hello friends!
Please allow me to introduce Fifi-Lou, my latest plush creation, made for Plush It!, the coolest show down under.
She was based off a template the show organizers made, in the pink-iest of faux fur and wool felt, not to mention enough mischief for a classroom full of two year olds.

Thank you so much Beeper Bebe!!
This is the first time I have ever participated in a swap. Such fun. I can't wait to play again.

Syd (Dolls for Friends)

ZZZZAAAAPPPPPPP!!!! Our lights dimmed heavily.

ZZZZZAAAAAPPPPP!!!! Our lights went out.

We rushed outside to see what the commotion was to find this little beauty perched on the bottom of our bug zapper. We were so surprised, and more than a little myphed at what we were looking at. I had to actually consult my rare collection of flora and fauna reference guides to even begin to get a hint of what she was.

It turns out that she's a Northwestern reticulated Electro-Rhopalocera. In other words she is one of the only nocturnal butterflys known to exist. They, like other butterflys, feed on nectar at night, yet they are also able to store large amounts of electro-kinetic energy as defense mechanism against predatory creatures.They are harmless to humans, but could be considered harmful to other animals of a lesser size if construed as being a threat.

After tripping the breakers in our house we brought her in to feed her some mangoes and honey. She has now been with us for two weeks. We call her Syd.
