Handmade One-of-a-Kind Stuffed Felt Creatures

I was the little girl who had no use for dolls. However, I absolutely loved stuffed animals and zoomorphized creatures, and somewhat related to them the way other children relate to human dolls and figurines. And, over time, I never lost that love and delight (see this body of work in the archive pages of this site). Meanwhile, I have dabbled in various fiber arts since my teenage years, for all things tactile and sensory, color and texture.

These stuffies come out of my imagination fairly easily. They start with a doodle of a sketch, and then I create a pattern, consider construction, choose colors and embellishments, and start stitching by hand. As a body of work, this is still somewhat new, even though I did create a few in the early 2010s. It was at my current part-time job working on creative projects with younger Autistic adults that I revisited making felt puppets and stuffies, beginning during the winter of 2023/24. As I came to realize how much I was really into this medium, I began working on a few at home. Once I proved to myself I was serious about it, I indulged in a stash of the "good felt", a much nicer wool-blend material.

This page will evolve, with the design layout eventually changing. The revised page (or pages) will also include work-in-progress images.

These handmade stuffies take many hours to design and create, and I realize that would make them expensive if they were simply toys. Instead, they are one-of-a-kind original art pieces. Prices are listed below for the ones that are currently on sale. Click here to see a page of stuffies that have already been sold, or are otherwise not for sale at this time, just to see them.

• Email me at the address on my Contact page for ordering any of the stuffies which may be available.
• Ordering will be similar to what can be found on my main Watercolors page, but due to the different nature of the medium, ordering will be different too.
• Prices are good through December 31, 2026.
