Thank you! Haha yes the splayed hind paws were a happy accident, I’m keeping it on the next plushies though ☺️

Avanii - plush artist and volcano enthusiast @avanii.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I’m happy to hear that :D It’s been fun to work on so far and I’m still tweaking things but eventually I hope to have a lot of different ones available !

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.

Already submitted a long comment on this feedback form, because this is impacting the small businesses way disproportionately and it makes me SO angry. Please read the link and leave a comment there!🙏 I want to be able to keep shipping to my fellow Europeans and buy from them too!

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

The first 3 plushies Avanii made: 1 brown slug, a grey snail without eyes and yellow shell, and a white snail with a glittery body.
