Mr. Beardsley is Robin Hood!

Here are some pictures from a recent custom order.  It’s Mr. Beardsley as Robin Hood!  He doesn’t have a bow because Beardsleys do not have arms but he does carry around a little green sack filled with arrows.  He shall steal from the rich - and give to the poor!robinhood1.jpgrobinhood4.jpgrobinhood2.jpgrobinhood3.jpg

It seems as though he has dipped his toe in gold and now it has spread to his face!  I used wool felt for this piece and painted his face.  Goldenglob will be for sale at the show so if you are interested in purchasing him, contact the Nancy Gallery:  206.441.7131.The collection of plush was created by artists from all over the world and will be on display in 3 different galleries- Schmancy:  1932 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA, 98101 - - Fancy:  1914 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA, 98101 - -and Nancy:  1932 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA, 98101.

Mr. Beardsley… The Weirdsleys!

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.

Custom Dolls

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.
