New and improved, Sharktoplush!

Several months ago I made a sharktopus plush for a friend. I posted that version in here a while back. I have since revised the pattern a bit and made another large one for the director, but something terrible happened. He started multiplying! Now there is a adolescent and baby sized sharktopus, and I'm afraid for all the beach goers out there. Especially with the baby, he's super cute, but deadly. Don't let his cute baby charm or the fact that he hasn't grown in all his teeth yet fool you! He'll chomp your ankles the second you turn around!

Mobile critters

So some good friends of mine had a little girl at Christmas & I've only just been to visit them all. I knew she didn't have a mobile over her cot so I made her one out of felt & fabric scraps. Since I'm a entomologist I decided to make her bugs*!

These all hang from a green wire spiral - left separate for assembly at their house.

* You may have noticed none none of these are actually Bugs (Hemiptera)!
