New Customs by Fshizz

Alexander Gürlich aka Fshizz is a toy customizer from Prague, Czech republic.  He makes really cool, creative customs.  These are just a few of my favorites that he has done.  I especially like the Monster Hangover custom, that is probably the coolest barf I've ever seen, I kind of wish it was painted in rainbow colors lol.

Stump Plush by SteffBomb

Someone's work I've really been admiring lately is Steffbomb.  Her creatures are simple, but really unique.  Each plush she makes you can tell came from her, because of their distinct little lips.  Which is my favorite part about these stump plushes!
So clever!  The rest of her shop is occupied by cute delicious food plush, like cotton candy & ice cream sandwiches.  All with her distinctive, wonderful faces.

You should really check out more of her work at her Etsy, or her website!

Muju Water Guardian

I've been a HUGE fan of Muju for a while now, and hadn't looked at their work recently.  So today I logged onto their ETSY shop to see what new and amazing plush creations they have been coming up with.

And just to get this out there, if it wasn't obvious enough already from my paintings, I love blue and purple everything, especially when placed against white or black .  So when I saw this I HAD to post about it, even though it's normally Chelsea's job to post about plush.  The detail in this plush is ridiculous, it's so immaculate.  I could just go on and on, so I'll stop and let you make your own opinions of how awesome this toy is.

Muji says, "This is Handmade by muju in 2009, the giant Muju Elemental Guardians are a series of Plush soft sculptures exhibited in Holland as part of the MOMA festival in Arnhem.
Now they are available to buy here.

The Muju Water Guardian stands approx 30cm tall and is made from recycled felt. Each felt shape was hand cut & assembled in the Muju studio.

This Muju plush is free standing, but also has a loop on the back, so it can be hung on the wall too.

Earth, Fire & Water are the biggest felt toys produced by mrs muju so far.

Abstinence is Key by Jade Nellans

Abstinence is key is the name of this ridiculously awesome, creepy and hilarious print by Jade Nellans!  I stumbled across her work on Etsy & fell in love with everything she does.  Most of my favorites by her seem to center around cats, like this one as well titled "Greed"
Her prints come in large 8 x 10 Gilcee prints, small ACEO's or in 5 packs of notecards.

Her Etsy shop can be found here, or you can check out her website here!

Wigby by Love and a Sandwich

Chelsea Bloxom aka Love and a Sandwich makes some of the most creative, cute, and just down right awesome plush toys I have ever seen.  She recently has branched out into custom toys, and paintings. (which you can see in her Etsy Shop)  No one can resist the coolness that is Love and a Sandwich.

Here's what Chelsea has to say about Wigby, "Monster octopuses, or the Monstroctopi, are some of the most friendly and cuddly creatures in the ocean. Upon researching these creatures strange behavior, it was discovered that the babies of the Monstroctopi were so loving that they enjoyed floating around the ocean floors, not to find food, but to find other creatures to hug. At first glance it may look like an attack, but the baby monstroctopi wraps its tentacles around the creature in a loving, gentle way."


Wigby is about 6 1/2 inches tall
12 inch antlerspan
3.5 inch long tentacles
Handsewn & Machinesewn!

Detective Sam Spade by Kevin Gosselin

Ok,  I'm floored by this guys talent, Kevin Gosselin has completely transformed this mini munny, I almost thought it was a from scratch figurine BUUUT the ears gave it away.  What really does it for me is that tiny hand sculpted revolver (I love revolvers!) check out how the pistol grip has been beautifully etched. And don't forget the tiny police badge.  Everything about this custom is top of the line, great job Kevin, looking forward to seeing more work from you.

He says, "Following my two recent commissions, the vampire and the artist series suffocating piece, I was asked by the same private collector to create a custom munny with the police officer theme. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of police officers especially after my recent experience with jury duty. But after mulling this concept over I did remember one detective that has always arrested my attention. That would be one Sam Spade. Sam Spade is the legendary character from the 1941 film classic, The Maltese Falcon, portraited by one of Hollywood's best, Humphrey Bogart. Now in the film, Bogie plays a private detective and not a police officer, but I took some liberty with the character and suggested a Sam Spade from his years prior to his private practice.

The custom was created using a 4" Mini Munny, wire, polymer clay and acrylic paint."

Dwight by Felt Mistress

Felt Mistress recently uploaded "Dwight" to her flickr.  It's rare to see plush that are so detailed that they look like an illustration come to life, but she does it time and time again.

She says, "Dwight owns his own auto-repair business and likes monster trucks and "purdy ladies". Dwight is 66cm tall."

With the way he's posed I can see him sharing tales from the monster truck rally with his friends. "That there truck was THIS BIG."
