This is weighing on me a bit and I was hoping for some outside opinions. I discovered that a mutual recently created a plush, and was kind of shocked by how similar I found it to my own. I expressed some discomfort with the similarities, but I feel like (cont.)

Wish I could be spending my #fursuitfriday at Anthrocon again this year, but sharing some photos from my trip to Ireland last week instead! Hope everyone has a nice weekend, stay cool! ☘️
Another plush from back in February! @notsafeforhoofs.bsky.social's Aster is such a striking fella. He was a super challenging project, but seeing him come together and turn out EXACTLY how I envisioned was such a rewarding moment haha.
Resuming backlog posting with a jumbo beanie of Luna for @/luna_lionesss on Twitter from back in January! I just adore how she turned out, I love her spotty paws.
More teeny plushies! This cute gal was made back in January for @reminissin.bsky.social! She was an especially tricky one with how many details she has, but I love how she came out! 💜
Made this cutie back in January! She was a trade with @kerzewerze.bsky.social in return for Pokemon cards. I just adore this character, she's so pretty. I tried to model her off of Kerze's chibi artwork of her and I think she translated wonderfully to this style of plush. 🥰
Commission from back in December for the lovely @harvestcrossfox.bsky.social of her oc Wick! I love a good german shepherd character and this guy's design is just too cute!
My part of a trade with @/purrrkie over on Twitter in exchange for Pokemon cards! A beanie plush of his character Ocean. I just love his color palette, it was nice being able to use some green tones when I so rarely get to work with any.
Made this lil dude back in December for @/greenbriarss on Twitter! Parker is such a lovely character and I'm honored to have gotten to work on them twice - once in beanie form and once in keychain form! Their design definitely pushed my limits in this size lol, but I LOVE how they came out!
This cute kitty was a commission for @/catbfs on Twitter back in November! I love her simple design, and I think her little scarf makes such a nice accent!
*crawling out from under my rock, apologizing for disappearing and declaring I'm back for the tenth time* Sorry for being so distant everywhere lately...social media anxiety's just been hitting me hard for a while now and I've just been keeping mostly to dm's.
Beanie baby commission from August for @caraid.bsky.social of her gorgeous lynx character of the same name! I had so much fun bringing the lovely gal to life, she has the prettiest design. 🥰
A pair of keychains from back in July that I never shared here! Wani gator in both his standard version and Halloween version for @trigris.bsky.social! 🐊
I only just realized how far back my backlog of unposted work goes, whew. Here's Semaphore for @semaphoresigfur.bsky.social I finished back in July. I had the pleasure of making a badge of this character back in 2024 and it was a pleasure to work with him again in a larger form! 🥰
Still trying to get back in the groove of posting again, but here's a grumpy lad from back in October for @lokiibrenna.bsky.social! Working on complex designs like this is just so satisfying to me. 😊
Happy #FursuitFriday! Featuring the Christmas presents you get the year you come out as a furry to your family lmao
I haven't been around here in forever...gonna try to finally change that again. Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas! 🎄
More backlog posting! I made this guy a few months back for @yksoba.art. I absolutely love Soba's design - it's so pleasantly simple, and his little ponytail and neck ruff are too cute! Not to mention those spotty paw pads! <3
One of my most special projects I've gotten to make - a sculpture to top the newlyweds' @cassmutt.bsky.social and @jtudyks.bsky.social wedding cake! It had been years since I'd sculpted anything but it was so much fun to jump back into for something so meaningful. Congrats again, you two 🥰
Just two cool cats hanging out for #internationalcatday - #fursuitfriday #AC2025 #anthrocon 🐱 @wispychipmunk.bsky.social !! 🪡 @thebeastcub.bsky.social
We had to say goodbye to our girl Skyler this weekend. She made it to an impressive 15 years old, 12 of which we were lucky enough to spend with her. She was truly the best dog I ever could have asked for and I couldn’t be more thankful for the time we had together 💔
Final photos of Cassius in keychain plush form for @crispyhusband.bsky.social! I had SO much fun with this guy, I loved trying to squeeze in as much detail as possible into such a small package. xD He's 5" in total from feet to ear tips!
Got a fresh batch of keychain plushies cooked up! Will share the individual characters soon but I just love how they all look together, haha.
Trying to start sharing some backlog work from the last two months! Here was my half of a trade for @nerdybeast.bsky.social in return for Pokemon cards! Koby is such a cute character and I *had* to include his little snake pal Sascha (who can wrap around his neck, paw, or tail!)
I know I haven't been super active lately, but my husband and I just went through some major travel issues on a recent trip that cost us well over 1000€. I really hate asking for support, but this has been a huge hit on us financially and anything would help! :c ko-fi.com/wispychipmunk
I was thrilled when @/ShachiWolf on twitter was interested in commissioning a plush of my all-time favorite pokemon...arcanine! He was truly a joy to bring to life and I’m so, so happy with how he turned out. I had a hard time parting with this guy when it came time to send him xD
I'm so excited to share my newest plush style - keychains! At just 4.5” (not counting ears or tail), they’re perfect for bags or backpacks. These will be a flat €400€, though complex characters might need a bit of simplification. DM me if you’re interested in one! :3
Gahh, I've been so busy lately that I haven't had the energy to keep up with things here! >_< I have a small backlog of projects I'm excited to share in the next few days, but just wanted to say sorry for the silence lately!
My part of a trade with ShachiWolf on Twitter in return for Pokemon cards! An applique badge of her gorgeous character Shachi. 🥰 Still tentatively open for trades towards vintage cards if anyone is interested in badges like this!
