#catschimericalcreations

I am a grown ass human being and that means that if the mood takes me, I will sew my own plushies and if I feel like it, I will make those plushies kiss.

Simon heard Grace likes rocks so he decided to show off some cool stones we found at the beach:

I was like, 90% sure that if I did make Grace PHM in frankenplush form, I would use either a fox or a golden retriever as the base for him.

Then I was going through my box of rodent UnMades (donor plushies bought specifically so I can make chimeras out of them) to find mice for a different project, and boom, here's this hamster giving off Ryland Grace vibes all over the place.

I gave him his book-canon arm and neck burns on his left side along with Rocky's three fingered claw imprint on his right arm. I had to take off the original hamster arm on the left and replace it with a less fiddly teddy bear one so I could sew the "burn scar" fabric over it (it's from a Happy Meal Welsh Dragon toy). I went a bit too ham on that side and the scar is well up over his face and scalp, but on reflection I liked how it looked so I decided to keep it.

His dirty blonde hair is the tail from a Glider the Prehistoric Bird beanie baby left over from an earlier project.

I've really been enjoying fanon's various takes on Angel!Grace so I gave him multiple sets of wings and added buttons in corresponding colours to represent additional eyes.

I initially toyed with shouting out the Good Luck Blanket design in my frankentoy, but there was really no way I could do it justice and tbh I think it would look busy and cluttered on such a small plushie. So instead I picked colours that we see Grace it a lot during the film and used buttons to echo / reinforce that.

I still need to give him some glasses - I dont think I have any bespectacled donor plushies besides the one I used for Tiny Chef, so I might try twisting a couple of paperclips into spectacle shape and see if those work!

And like, one, take that down, it makes us look racist

(and yes, flying the St George flag DOES make you look racist and if that bothers you, take it up with the actual racists using it to justify their racism)

And two, that is the ENGLISH FLAG, we are NOT ACTUALLY FUCKING ENGLISH, he's not even our king, he's technically the "Lord of Mann" if you want to go ahead and believe that the divine right to rule is bestowed on someone based on whose ball bag they were swimming around in before being spaffed out into the world.

Daisy hair ornaments for everyone!

Tree climbing lessons for Simon!

Introducing him to dandelions

And the concept of naps ( he did not sleep ☹️ )

The tree stump was not a hit with him either (not our smartest move tbh)

Back to flowers then!

They wanted to build a campfire but I don't carry matches or a lighter and also it's the middle of the afternoon in the middle of summer, so no.

We also met a kitty (Chance fainted due to the cuteness) !
