Description I went fabric crazy with minky.. hehe. I'm also working on making my plushies bigger than I've made them in the past. The riceball is prob ~twice the size from before and the squid ~one and a half times bigger. I'm going to work on the squid pattern though. Shorter legs and larger mantle, that's the plan!

These are minky prototypes. What do you think? I tried to stick my hand in their for reference. Haha.

So everyone out there, what size plushies do you prefer? Small? Med? Or large? And why? I'm still deciding what size plushies I want to make, but it seems with minky I'll be making them around this size (med).

Former plushies can be seen here: [link] I'm not sure if you can tell the size from the photo, as there is no reference with it. Hm..

You should post the squid pattern if you get it worked it. That is just...far too cute. Skwee worthy!

I want one of your squids so badly! Too bad they don't have minky in black and green leopard print. :<

Aww<3 Black and green leopard print would be very interesting! Although they don't have that, I do have these prints: [link] I guess cheetah/leopard/giraffe? Hahah

How much would one of your squids be? Well, a smaller one at least.

My small ones are ~5inches tall and this one pictured here is ~7inches tall. I'm working on pricing and such as soon as I'm done making them. I'll let you know when I've reopened my shop, but look for it to be around the area of $16, give or take or spot on. Lol.

I think the size for the squid is pretty good. I think riceballs might benefit from being smaller but they kinda work in all sizes. Also like your plans for the new squid pattern ;D
