As described on their website: THE EXCITING yearly, fun...PRE-SHRUNK: small works of ART made especially for you by your favorite gallery artists-over 70 artists participating! All priced at $175!

Beastie

My computer was displaying the blue screen of death for the last 2 months but it's finally up and running again which means time to get back on track with my blog posts!

At the end of November I was in the Beastie group show curated by Anna Taylor. It was an awesome show and my little Beasties had a great time!! There's a gallery of everyone's work on Facebook for anyone interested.

Luv-able Hug-able show

Six more monsters just made their way out to New York to join their friends at Gallery Hanahou's Luv-able Hug-able Show.
Azusa at the gallery sent me these awesome pictures of the show. I love the way she hung the monsters on the wall. They look hilarious!
You can check out all the other great plush creations in the show at the gallery's online store.

Guggenheim

I was asked by Eric in Illinois to make a felt version of the Guggenheim in New York. It was a really fun project and a little challenging but a great learning experience. It took a lot of sewing, every detail is hand stitched and since I had never made anything to scale before it took a lot of sewing, unpicking and resewing!

Gallery Hanahou

Last week I sent off a large box of 15 pieces to Gallery Hanahou in New York for their Luv-able Hug-able Christmas show of plushes. I'm really excited to be part of this show.
