40 cm floppy hare plush. Can't believe this is my first hare ever, I love these animals so much! Part of my personal collection for now, unless someone makes an offer I can't refuse ;)

Japanese sable and Japanese marten plush pieces have been cut out! I have a desire to make every marten species, but it's unlikely that I actually will 😅

The Volcano Pokemon 🌋 My first full-background painting with acrylic inks, featuring two of my current favourite things! I think Typhlosion would do well in the Icelandic landscape I based this painting on (precisely, the Fagradasfjall eruption). Time taken: some 9 hours.

A Valentine's day exchange gift for a friend of her cat Rhea, who has passed the rainbow bridge and is now playing among the stars 💖 Painted with two kinds of fountain pen ink, bleach, and a touch of white gouache.

Lifesized platinum fox commission, made of the fluffiest luxurious faux furs, minky, and hand-painted safety eyes. She has puffy paw pads, a minky nose, and is very floppy and cuddly!

The prototype Sable marten plush. Made of faux furs, plastic safety eyes and nose, and sporting 10 felt claws that are all individually handsewn and attached. The plush is roughly life-sized and very very soft!

After making a bunch of realistic plush, I had the urge to return to my bat pattern and make a Honduran white variety! The test is coming along well so far 😍

Last but not least, here's Zari! She is made of mohair, viscose and wool felt, has glass eyes and fishline whiskers and a wired tail. I love her cheeky expression a lot and was almost tempted to keep her for myself... 💖 But she's attending Dutch Comic Con after all.
