QUESTIONS FOR PLUSH PEOPLE

Jan. 9th, 2011 at 3:42 AM

hi guys i know some people on my flist make plush so i have a few questions for you.

i want to make a nightstalker plush BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST and somehow animal things are easier for me to work with...sooooooo imma go for iiiiiittttt.

i think i know what materials i want to use for him already so that's not an issue. HOWEVER... i wanna use like real-ish stuffed animal eyes for his eyes. DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THEM? btw night stalkers have two diff eyes so. :I i guess a snake eye and a dog eye...or a cat eye i could settle for...

ALSO.....I want to make his tail rattle because that would be SO ADORABLE. if anyone hasn't seen night stalkers yet they're p much half snake/half coyote...so the rattle in the tail is like a rattle snake tail! yaaay.

i have some pichurs of what im planning under the cut

nightstalker:

what i want to make:

my prototype pattern:

~~he has no feet yet because its almost 4am and im rly tired lololl~~

lol i have made a few shitty plush in the past. for the record i've had no training on doing anything...all patterns/sewing "skill"/etc i have is all taught to me by......me :D....so yea my stuff can look like crap sometimes cuz of it BUT IDK MAN DO YOU GUYS THINK I HAVE A P OKAY THING GOING SO FAR?

i wanna do this. RHRNANRHGGGHHFFF.

Before you spend money on good fabric, I would buy a cheaper fabric, like felt to make sure your prototype will work! Also for eyes, try eBay...Here is what I was able to dig up:

http://cgi.ebay.com/9mm-Doll-Animal-Puppet-Craft-Eyes-Veined-Cut-Yellow-MW-/360319610381?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e4b8ee0d

http://cgi.ebay.com/10mm-Doll-Animal-Puppet-Craft-Eyes-Metallic-Gold-MW-/200543724326?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb1566326

Here we go, these ones have slits:

http://cgi.ebay.com/20-PAIR-10MM-MIX-PLASTIC-SLIT-SAFETY-EYES-Plush-Animals-/400185842128?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d2cef59d0

http://cgi.ebay.com/10-PAIR-PLASTIC-SAFETY-CAT-EYES-18mm-STUFFED-ANIMAL-TOY-/170553660420?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&var=&hash=item6d6ebff0c9

Here is the search I was using:

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A10%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1&rt=nc&_nkw=plastic%20animal%20eyes&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14.l1513&_pgn=1

Some of these sellers have eyes that come in different sizes too!!

You are most welcome! I often have a brain fart and forget to check eBay for things that I know will be up for sale/auction! :P

I am sure you are, I can't wait to see the final result...;)

Dunno if you've bought eyes yet, but check out Suncatcher Eyes :o They're really nice eyes, and she does custom sets.
