...around the corner...
The Plush You event at Schmancy is around the corner. There are so many amazing people participating, it's wild. And this list is only the people who have websites. Kristen has a blog and here are a couple of the people without websites and here is another.
Kristen is amazing. She is putting on this great show with people all over the world participating. (Although I am proud to say I'm the only one from New York!!) Just getting everyone organized is crazy. I can't imagine what stress she must have been under. Glad it wasn't me! I only wish that I would be able to make it out to Seattle and see all of the amazing things that are going to be there.
I don't even know what inspired me to join up. I had never made any sort of plush thing before. And the great thing (for me) was that Kristen didn't ask what we would be making. When I signed up I had no idea what I would be making. And then I thought of robots. I thought robots aren't soft and I did a tiny little sketch and voila Felix came to life. Good thing I planned on making him kind of patchworky, because I was working from nothing. No pattern, no sewing machine. Just my two little hands. And I loved it. I loved the way he turned out and I love what is happening with new guys.
Although I am going to have to put them on hold for awhile, because Beck Wheeler is helping with another show down in Australia called "life’s a stitch..." and asked the Plush You people to join up. They are having a Festival in Newcastle. They are building little sets for the plush creations. One of the set is a teashop and the other is a lab with all white creatures. I started my sketches and I am excited about working with a theme!!
