Omg I NEED one of your pleco plushies! Will they ever be returning?

palaeoplushies.com•41 days ago

They will be! I'm a bit irregular with re-making things, but the best way to find out when they're back is to select the species you're interested in and sign up for the notification! (You enter your email but you only get 1 notification the next time they restock)

if you ever consider making more popular species, i would punch a baby for an archaeopteryx

or not punch a baby if you really like babies

IMO, the proper term for Rebecca's 'plushies' of which I have about half a dozen, is 'fabric model'. That is what they are to me. They are so much more than the term 'plushie' conjures up. BTW, cats I've had since I first got one of Rebecca's fabric models have never used them as toys. Respect!

I like "Fabric models", "Soft Sculptures" is another term I've seen used similarly.

I started using "Plushies" because (although it wasn't a term used in the UK as I grew up, we called them "soft toys") it's more recognisable and has equivalents in a bunch of languages - Plüsch, Peluche etc.

I also really appreciate the work that goes into even the mass-produced (by people!) plushies, and the craftsmanship that often goes unacknowledged because they're "disposable playthings". I'm happy to sit my work alongside them, and hopefully draw attention to the work that goes into those, too!

Thought you'd appreciate my 5-ft Eastern Box turtle I made for the State Fair of Virginia

That's so rad!!

genehex.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you! This photo warms my heart. To be able to make something that has such an impact on others.

Will the Anurognathus return?

palaeoplushies.com•125 days ago

It will! I make them in smaller batches but if there's enough demand I re-make them. The best way to find out is to sign up for restock notifications on my website
