My Plush Gnome is Done

I recently asked my blog readers to tell me what new plush things they'd like to see me make next. 2 of the answers I got were a Fox and a Gnome. You saw the fox previously but I thought showing them together would be so cute as they are both woodland creatures.

Gnome WIP

The prototype of the Gnome came out o.k just needs a few small tweaks but I love him. I hope you do too! He's 12 inches tall (30 cm). I plan on making more in different sizes and have a female Gnome in the works too. There is the possibility that I may make him into a DIY kit but I really need to think about that.

Foxy Loxy Is In The House...

..or at least the studio. I did the drawing for this 2 months or so ago (maybe more?) and the pattern has been sitting cut out and staring at me since then. Yesterday afternoon I just pushed everything I was working on aside and started working full force on this new pattern idea. Not sure why but it felt good to start something new that's been pinging in the back of my mind for a while now.
 This drawing is a combo of a fox and my Chihuahua Carmelita.

 Here's the original drawing.

The drawing in plush.

Sorry for the photos. It is super sunshiny in here this morning and this was the best I could do.

I've already modified the pattern to change the face cause while it works in a drawing it doesn't in plush. While this fox was fun to make I can see that modifying the pattern further to a more simple streamlined design is probably the better way to go. So I'll do that and show you all soon how that goes.

Meanwhile I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, so please leave a comment. And it's fine if you don't like it just tell me why.
