Yay!!! I’m so happy to be here amongst these wonderful artists! You did forget someone, though. I know you don’t like to pat your own back, but your plushies should be here for this great big group hug!!!

thank you for your lovely words, I am very flattered to be featured in your fabulous list.. I’m right there with you in finding it uneasy to explain to others what I do. i’m still not sure what to call myself either!

Oh, such a parade of lovely, yummy work!
I discovered a few new plush artists, toy makers, crafters or whatever each amazing maker chooses to call themselves, so thank you for this post.

I call myself a toy making elf. Mostly because it makes me giggle and because I do make soft toys (that can be for play or display -isn’t it interesting that the word “display” when broken down to parts means a negation of play, something that isn’t meant for play) and since Santa lives in Lapland (north Finland, I live in the south) I thought the “elf” monicker was apt and funny. I’m uncomfortable calling myself an artist, so the toy making elf label feels less… well, less charged and burdensome.

And on the subject of sharing amazing plush makers, you should check out Takiyaje/Lyubow’s work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/takiyaje/ Her dolls are in a word, amazing!

How do you manage it with no computer at the moment. I am so honored to be among such giants in the plush art/ soft sculpture world. Such wonderful examples and such a wide range of materials and animals. You might be in luck soon since I snagged some lovely fabric today to make some mungo’s. You have been inspiring me to put down my hook for a little while and dream up some new characters. I do hope you get to borrow Adam’s computer tomorrow.
