Monstuffies

After much tending and fussing my little mob of Monstuffies has hatched and grown big enough to find new homes this Saturday at the BrisStyle indie Designers Market!

I've decided to go with hand-drawn eyes for these guys now. I like it better than buttons for a couple of reasons. For one, they're now totally safe for under 3's which is great cos we don't want the littlies missing out on a Monstuffie and the second reason is that they seem a little more alive now...what do you think??

  1. Your Monstuffies are just gorgeous. Very clever and I'm sure they'll be a big hit with kids and older kids alike.

  2. Oh, hello Ms Juiceberry.
    I like the handpainted eyes too - as least button sewing as possible, I say. Oh, yes, plus those eyes are very cute and friendly.

    I do hope you have a lovely market day.

  3. I bet those eyes follow you around the room - so cute. Jemima Juiceberry - where do you come up with them? Love it.

  4. These guys are just too cute! Would you mind telling me what you use to draw the eyes? I make my kids monsters every year for Christmas and I'd love to have more eye variety.
