The Fantabulous Adventures of Phylux the Plushie

Aivilo's picture
For fun and to keep myself on track with this work-in-progress. Expect slow progress, as I will be doing this between work and school. I am estimating no fewer than 10 hours once sewing begins, as I do not have a machine (but I do have two cats who enjoy playing with thread).
A plushie is born!

Pattern
-Design the pattern (done - heavily modified version of the free pattern found here)
-Cut out (done)
-Trace onto fabric (done)
-Cut fabric (done)

Sewing
-Markings (4/4 legs, 2/2 masks, 0/1 wings) (Wings cannot be sewn on until body is finished)
-Body (in progress - 1, 2, 3)
--Head (done - 1, 2, 3)
--Antlers (Left 1, 2, 3 - Both painted 1, 2) Unfortunately, the modeling clay is more fragile than I anticipated. I lost the antlers in the process of turning the pattern right-side-in. I MIGHT be able to save one, but the other is severely cracked and damaged. One or both will most likely have to be re-built from scratch.
Antler Update: Moderate success in repairing bothp antlers. We'll see if they're stable enough to continue in a few days, but it may take several repair-and-dry sessions.
--Legs (done)
--Underside
--Main Body (done, partially stuffed - 1, 2)
-Stuffing (done)
--Back marking to cover stuffing slot (mostly done)
-Finishing touches
--Face
--Small markings

Lots of new pictures! Mostly

Lots of new pictures! Mostly for the antlers, which are finished (except the paint needs to dry). After that, just need to sew in the antlers and finish sewing up the body, then stuffing and whatnot. It'll still be a while before he's finished, but getting close now.
Yay!

This is pretty awesome. What

This is pretty awesome. What type of clay are you using? I've had pretty good luck with sculpey if it's baked long enough and isn't too thin.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

Eyestrain:
I'm glad you like him :3
It's the Crayola brand modeling clay you can see in the background here. I don't believe it's bake-able... I think it would melt, lol. It works pretty well, but I think it needs a wire frame for something like antlers... which I don't have access to at the moment, so I tried without. Did fine until they got bent a little too much, and then they fell apart.
We use this stuff when we make pawprints for families who've put a pet down, and it works great for things like that. Antlers... Pushing it a little, but I think it'll work out alright.
