Recently, for a show I participated in called, Open Studio No. 2, I created a special set of 6 Mr. Beardsley plush called Weirdsleys - this batch is made up of fun, bright colors in assorted fabrics. The Mr. Beardsley style that I usually create has a brick or brown-colored body. These are C-R-A-Z-Y!

I think my favorite one is the gnome with the red beard and mint face. These were a lot of fun to create so I will definitely make more Weirdsley batches in the future! They each have a feather sewn into their cap with a hand-stitched, wool felt heart.


Here I am trying to communicate with plush gnomes! This is from the show in Oak Park, IL.There are a couple Weirdsley plush still available for sale that are now up in the shop as well as some new paintings on canvas. Coming soon - - Mr. Beardsley, “Gnome Cone” 7×7 inch prints!
Here is my most recent custom doll project - They are approximately 12 inches high. I used a bunch of different materials - mostly fleece and wool felt. For this set, I did not do any sketches beforehand but created them from a series of photographs.
