Trash mountain

Materials for stuffed animals are expensive.
So more often than not, I make some trial things with cheap fabric. This is important process.

They are funny. I have no talent, but endeavour.

Maybe cats.


Not whippet. It was Kishu dog.


Dying horse.


Flying squirrel, hamsters, ermine, ferret head, rabbits.


During making one in practice, I alter the pattern again and again.
When it is done, the pattern is broken, or there are lots of fragments of ex-patterns.
I don't care. Because I hardly make the same thing.

Heads of Newfoundland and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Newfoundland has been done, but still has problems.

Addition (3/23):
I use flannelet or polyester fleece for those experiments.

Cat

This black cat was made with enlarged pattern of ragdoll kitten.




I've made 20 stuffed cats. But nothing of them is satisfactory.

Cat making is not so difficult. To make the face cute is difficult.
I don't think that the pattern is bad.

The balance of eyes, ears and nose makes the impression of the cat.
I need more trial and error.

There are a lot of cat toys at shops. It is hard to find a really cute cat.
Difficulty is not only on me.


A cat of human type.

Unreal cat is easier to make features.
