Furry Monster Beth - work in progress

Tuesday, December 08, 2009

It was a rough and exhausting two weeks getting ready for the craft show that was last Saturday. Though it was a lot of fun, (it was my first show) I'm glad it's finally over. These past few days I've had some time to relax and think about new toy ideas.

Last night I was working on some designs for plush monsters. This little beauty here is Beth. I couldn't help it, I just had to give her a pink bow. It has been a while since I made anything with shaggy long fun fur. I had forgotten how tricky it was to work with.

Originally, Beth was only going to have four stringy legs until someone suggested that she should have six legs instead. He was so right. A big thanks goes to Guy Latulippe for the idea, it really makes a difference. Hmm... I'm wondering now if I made her back two legs a little too short. I might need to adjust the pattern so they're a little longer. Though, she's still a cutie.
