a silly sturgeon’s day out!

the plush is available until Friday! get ya thingy HERE

silly sturgeon concept -> plush ! 🤎

1. be quite large

2. use your barbels to find prey among the gravel along the bottom of the river

3. extend your siphon-like mouth to eat small fish, shellfish, and crustaceans

4. launch yourself out of the water and make a big splash just for fun

5. show off them scutes!

let's go!!! again!!! 🤎🤎🤎

The scutes make the texture really nice, it feels good to run my fingers over them and feel the seams around the appliqués. My little motif of a heart somewhere on the design works so well in plush form it’s so cute!

Its little face is so darling. I went with two barbels instead of the four that real sturgeons have so it wouldn’t clutter the design and it works really well. Its smile is so sweet and gentle, its little snout is absolutely perfect, and it’s just so CUTE!!!

The size is also great. It’s around 52 cm long, and when I spoke to a sturgeon conservationist at one of my latest aquarium visits, he said that makes the Silly Sturgeon the same size as a 1-2 year old real-life sturgeon! It’s literally a little baby!!!

I sleep with it alongside the Silly Coelacanth. It is so soft and it fits perfectly in my arms. I’ve been having a rough past couple of days (I’m doing alright now!) and holding it is really comforting. I’m proud to have made something that can give that feeling to myself, and I can really hope it can give that to others! I LOVE THIS THING SO MUCH!!!
