Elephants
Quote from Светлана Пашаева on 22.11.2019, 09:03For a long time working on Teddy bears, I have accumulated a lot of vintage multi-colored plush. I wanted to create something unusual, reverent from it, as the plush has its own history, is old with age, and battered in places. Over some pieces of plush, I did experiments: painted, tinted, bleached, soaked. You must work with the old plush very carefully, as it can tear in places or just crumble. I glue some sections with special duplicating fabric, which prolongs the life of such a plush. And so I decided to sew vintage elephants from different pieces of plush. They will be small, baby elephants.
To start, I made patterns, transferred them to the fabric and sewn. Then the long process of stuffing is ahead. I stuff them with small sawdust with the addition of wool and natural sea sand. By the pattern of baby elephants, their head is large, and the body is almost equal to the size of the head, small arms and legs. The head will be on a double cotter pin. Why double? This image of tilting the head to the side gives the toy the expressive character of a cute and naive image.

Clothing will be a complete addition to the image of a small elephant. I plan to make clothes in a marine style, for both boys and girls. It will be a suit with a small collar, shorts, skirts and caps.
