Been working on a new #ferret plush pattern and this little cutie is the first prototype! Filled with lots of plastic beans, it has a pleasant weight. The mask is painted on. I’m making several ferrets, polecats and weasels to test the pattern further 👀 #handmadeplush #plushart #mustelid

I got my official autism diagnosis earlier this week! I have many thoughts but mainly how I wasn't imagining it when simple things seemed way too hard and that instead of being lazy and weak, I was actually quite driven and resilient 💪

Comic title: "At last". Panel 1: Nervous person holding a scroll is surrounded by people who are all making comments like "You need more practise!", "Just talk to the people!", "If you really wanted, you'd try harder", "You're too shy!", "You're too lazy", "You're complaining way too much!", "You're too privileged so you don't care!", "Other people do it all the time!", "I guess you just enjoy being like that", "You really gotta change your attitude!" Panel 2: Person calmly opens the scroll and it says "Autism Diagnosis". They are clearly releaved. Big text around then person says "Just let me be". The other people are quiet now.

Working on the paws. Every time I tell myself to simplify them and every time they get more complex instead 😅 Takes an hour a paw to sculpt and trim, but it’s worth it, no? #plushwip #handmadeplush

After years of wanting to, I’m finally making a floppy yellow throated marten plush! And… I really love how it’s coming along so much. Gonna be so hard to let this one go, if I even can 😭 #marten #yellowthroatedmarten #plushwip #mustelid #handmadeplush #martesflavigula

I’m working hard on a new plush type: bean-filled slugs and snails! Extremely grabable (especially the slugs) and soft rather than slimy! They promise to leave your plants alone 🤭 Come pick your faves at #Eurofurence or online afterwards. #plushwip #handmadeplush #plushart #snail #slug

Did you know European badgers can be ginger? Eri, the erythristic badger, was my prototype #badger plush. She’s 65 cm long nose to bum, floppy and weighted and super cuddly! Looking for a home, perhaps at #dokomi 👀 See thread for closeups of the paws. #handmadeplush #mustelid

A large handmade plush brown badger sits upright. Avanii’s hand holds one of her front paws.

The plush badger sits upright, seen up front. You can see the details of the sculpted paws and nose, all made of fabric.

Two handmade plush badgers lay side by side on a grey background. One of the badgers is ginger, the other the classic grey and black.

My take on a "Don't Attack Me" style Shiny #Lopunny plush! She's very pastel (Im aware in game the pinks are darker) but I think it fits the aesthetic more Base pattern by @syleniscrafts.bsky.social with custom embroidery and some pattern edits by me { #plushart #customplush #pokemonart #cuteart }

Pleistocene steppe bison Bison Priscus. It inhabited Europe, Asia, and North America until the early Holocene and is the ancestor of modern European bison and American bison. I'm not sure if it's noticeable, but I was inspired by ancient images of bison and Altamira and other caves.
