Plush-O-Rama: Curious Creatures for Immature Adults

Synopsis

What's the big new phenomenon, making lovable stuffed monsters! Influenced by the popularity of Japanese anime and video game culture, urban illustration and design, plus the do-it-yourself craft movement, these designer plush toys are everywhere - even museum stores. Yet they're simple to sew. Just take fabric, a needle, thread and stuffing, combine a touch of cuteness with a dash of utter weirdness and you've got one of the oddest, most irresistible creatures ever. And these 30+ projects - including furry, green-lipped Monkey; Greggles, who sports a coif of tentacles - are as much at home in a trendy loft studio as in a child's room.
