I finally have finished my submission for this year Plush It! group show opening on 12th of November at Ruban Rat Gallery, Sydney, Australia. All artists were given the same template, designed by Serena Kuhl to interpret it.
It was an interesting exercise for me - I started with the shape, what it remind me of and the cactus pop up in my head :) I love cacti, so the rest was pure fun - especially I loved the spiked eyelashes feature :) And with the eyelashes like these it must be girl... and yes, the flower to distinguish the feminine aspects, pink preferably ... So green and pink, I'd picked up some colours...And I really wanted her to smile in a not so cute way, coz she is spiky and sharp ... and freckles to make her even more mischievous... Done!
It is amazing how differently you can interpret the same shape - you can check the show flickr pool to see variety here
My favourites so far are the fishes by Robyn Fabsits, I love her clever twist of the shape, colours and her sense of humour - main ingredient in plushies, I believe :)
