Here it is, the smallest plush I've made to date. It was created for the Medical Experiments Toy Show which opens Mar 17th in Asheville, NC. It has been a drag packing and shipping larger ones that I've sent off , so I figured let's keep this one small. I started making These painted plush things a couple years ago more as an experiment in cheap and quick sculpture than for a love for padded forms and soft things. Weird thing is though, there is a giant subculture of artists and crafters making sewn, knitted and plush creatures out there. I've sort of fallen into a couple art shows entirely themed around or at least loosely based on plush as an art form. One such show, "Plush You" at Schmancy in Seattle, WA Has even spawned a book tie-in published by North Light Books which should be out in November. I have a tutorial in the book so you will have to wait until then to find out how I make these things.
