Our First Features

Going through my messages can sometimes be a daunting task. Even after clearing up my watch list, I still find hundreds of messages piling up from all of the plush groups I follow. There's one that I pay particular attention to though - can you guess which?

Anyway, here are some of the artists who have submitted pieces to Simply-Plush that have caught my eye recently!



First of all is this cute Pweep Fledgie created by the artist Steph-Laberis. I find it incredible how much expression you can pack into beaded eyes, wool roving, a single feather, and a slightly off-center sort of beak. Pweep is beautifully constructed and is a part of a series which also includes a Cockatoo and an Owlet.

The other two Fledgies in the series are shown below.




One of my favourite pieces from this artist is an Adventure Time piece though - I really just love that show. It's impossible for me not to include Science.






Another great artist I've noticed this month is most definitely OopisNein. I'm not sure if it's the tentacled, cephalopod look or the monster-esque features... or both. But they're absolutely fantastic - especially these two cuties, Abner and Matilda. They have poseable tentacles and some really adorable outfits - I mean, check out Matilda's floral print and bow! Plus their cute little fingers make me really want to shake their hands.


Other than these two cuties, she's also made a fellow named Bosco.




A bunny-eared party monster named Delores.



And a really cool Monster Totem - her 4th





Finally, Rekka. She's a beautiful original character created by artist dolphinwing. I'm a sucker for plushes with long limbs and her long arms and legs really drew me in - perhaps even more than her adorable screenprinted expression. Her outfit is fantastic too. My favourite parts are the striped stockings and the cute little boots.


The artist has also done some really, really fantastic fanart pieces too - including Korra from Legend of Korra, Fluttershy from My Little Pony, and Chun Li from Street Fighter.










That's all for this time, hopefully I see more amazing pieces in my messages from you guys. I don't really have any doubts though, you haven't disappointed me yet. 

Can't wait to do another one of these features - they're quite fun!
