Sour Bunny Brownie Bear

This is the last of the plushies I made for gifts based on a design by Katie. It is actually two separate creatures. I chose to make them in such a way that the little alien thing she had doodled could be turned around and placed into the robot thingy. Katie slips me new doodles most every week so I see no reason why I won't make more of her fun and unique creatures soon.

I have no idea what this creature is. Even Katie deemed it too bizarre a thing to give to a family member. We did find someone worthy of receiving it in the end however. Its "face" is attached via velcro and can be pulled off, for no good reason other than I felt like making it so.

Most of the doodles I get from Katie are of the odd variety. Her characters are nothing if not bizarre. I guess this pickle straddles the line between cute and crazy, but the next few plushies enter stranger territory.

Plushie number three designed by Katie and made by me. It might just be the cutest of the lot. By this point, I was very much feeling it. I didn't want to stop turning the girlfriend's doodles in plush things. So I didn't. Just you wait and see.

Jellyfish! The second piece I created from one of my girlfriend's designs. From this side by side, you can see that I stayed true to the original doodle. I like this creature. It is cute.

The next batch of gift plushies I have to post are unique in that they were designed by my girlfriend. I wanted to make stuff for her family, but I thought it would be cooler if she came up with the ideas for the characters herself. She doodled dozens and dozens of little things and I picked out ones I wanted to make in plush. I imagine this character as being some sort of space traveler. It could really be anything though. For the rest of the characters we took pictures of both the plush and the doodle it was based on.

A mean plush I gave to my brother-in-law, whose name happens to begin with "T."

Craft fur is a new material for me. I was expecting it to be a bit of a pain, but it really wasn't bad at all. The worst part of the entire experience was cleaning mounds of fake fur off everything in my bedroom. This bizarre creature was made for my other sister. I figured she'd get a kick out of the weirdness of it.
