Really keen to purchase a bearded dragon - to be used as part of the reward system at our school where we have several resident bearded dragons living in our gardens.
Please contact me re quote/costs & shipping to Australia. Thanks!

I just came across your scorpion with babies plushie, and it is adorable! Β My son's science project is about having the yello scorpion found in the Galapagos evolve due to rising water levels as a result of global warming. Β They need to make a model representing the evolved physical characteristics, and would like to try sewing one rather than making one out of paper mache. Would you be willing to share your pattern? Β Thanks!

OH MAN such amazing stuff! Β Definitely going to have to throw some money at you in the future when you're less swamped with customs- really top notch stylization/cute-ification of the forms.

Hello incredibly talented lady! As a marine biology geek, your copepod almost made me cry for joy. I think you could enjoy very much making or even knowing about tripod fish and especially oarfish, if you do not, already

Just discovered your work and I'm in love, would you ever consider tutorials? Or have any tutorials you would recommend for plushie making?

Hi! Sorry, since this is a business for me, I don't make tutorials. I don't even make patterns for myself, it's all off the top of my head!
My biggest suggestion is to take plushies apart. I took apart beanie babies and put them back together for months before I tried making my own. Learned a lot about how to make certain shapes.

Thank you for the response. I've been planning a moth plushie for a while and didn't know how to about it. This is helpful

this is the second time I stumbled across a site showing your work and went "oh wow this person is amazing and they make the cutest of things!" your body of work is diverse enough that I didn't realize you were the same person until I saw the blue weevil.

Just throwing it out there, but I love your plushies! They just looks so cute and huggable! I know you likely don't take requests, and I don't expect you to, but just if you find yourself suddenly bored, I dare you to try to make a scary looking plushie. Scary but cute. It's a challenge kind of thing. But yeah, sorry, you just got yourself another watcher. I'm not naming any names, but it's obviously me.

Thanks so much! I do frequently take custom requests, as long as they are real species. I'm not sure if I could make something look scary, since I think every creature is beautiful in its own way... but we'll see! Any suggestions?
