title: "Octoplushy, the plushy octopus: Designer Notes"

Octoplushy. This is one of those designs that have no explanation. I was almost done with the `hi` design,
|
||
|
|
so I had plushies on my mind. The sea, and it's inhabitants must have been on my mind, for all of a sudden
|
||
|
|
"octoplushy" pops enters my thoughts. Where that came from, I don't know. But with that name, I could not
|
||
|
|
ignore what I was apparently destined to work on next.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A plushy octopus. With a cute name. That had to become something very cuddly. The first attempt was a round
|
||
|
|
head, complete with sewn smile and buttons for eyes, and eight arms to complete it. Using the eight arms and
|
||
|
|
extending the upper part into segments for the head seemed logical. It worked out fine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then I decided that a more anatomically correct version should also be possible, just by tweaking the parameters somewhat,
|
||
|
|
and moving the eyes down. And I figured I could then not forget the squid cousin too. So it turned into three designs in one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Have fun making them. They're not hard to sew, but not easy to fill.
