Shark and Ray

Max asked for a shark, Katie asked for a ray.  Max picked sharkish grey, Katie picked fleecy pink, red spots, candy striper belly.  Her pink ray is named George, after her Grandpa.  The pink fleece is leftover from making her diaper covers 6 years ago.  Even though the eyes normally wouldn't be on top, that's where she liked them.

 I enjoy this work because it is custom, and because I know my clients so well, I can tell when they are genuinely pleased.  Even though my workmanship is shoddy and it's always a rush job, they don't mind at all.

Plushy Monsters

Max's Design:

We changed the 4 necks to 1, because he wanted the neck not to be floppy.  The hole is a recessed compartment, so his guy can shoot missiles out of his tummy.

Katie's Design:

The thing on it's tummy was a shamrock, I was told.  It shoots shamrocks out of his tummy.  Both monsters are born good and learn how to be evil over time.

They picked out the fabrics for each part of the monsters.
