showcase:A shiver of tiny sharks by halbmoki

ยท One min read

After making a lot of small plush sharks in 20-30% size, I wanted to try going even smaller. This is the result. They are about 10% and 6% respectively.

There have been several discussions about making these plush toys in unusual sizes. Going big isn't that complicated, but going much smaller has its limitations. I had to modify the pattern, leaving out the teeth, combining the mouth and belly parts into one, making the body a bit wider, and changing the way the fins are attached.

The material is regular minky, all hand sewn, and the eyes are 5mm rhinestone rivets, attached with a faux leather backing piece (like a washer), so they don't work their way out of the stretchy fabric.
