My little plush babies Eva and Mika find themselves watching an amazing fireworks display created by the fabulous Mo Fine.
I love this photo because it represents a collaboration of three of the most important people in my life: Me, who made Eva and Mika (hey, being important to myself was hard earned), Rico, the love of my life and photographer extraordinaire who so lovingly photographs so much of my work, and Mo, little pixie genius of Seattle, who worked her Photoshop magic to put my babies in is sea of fireworks.
Eva is my first ever handmade plush creature. When I look at her, my heart breaks. I remember how excited I was when I saw her coming together. I couldn't believe I was making a creature with my own hands that so captured my love and sense of play. The possibilities seemed endless.
Here she is without her head.
You know that you love your creatures when, even without their heads, they are beautiful to you.
