Been sewing lots of stuff lately. Just yesterday, I figured how to sew marshmallow plushies! it took me a while, a few days in fact. The first few I did were disastrous. They were all loopy and warped. But now they look like proper marshmallows. So that's an achievement for a beginner sewer like me. Haha. And in case you're wondering why on earth am I making marshmallow plushies, I'm actually sewing this huge marshmallow bag and filling it in with all these marshmallows. It's not just something I'm making, for fun or just because I've got so much time. Instead, I'm making it for school. Though I'm in the painting department, I'm not restricted to paint all day long. I get to explore whatever mediums I fancy, and right now, somehow my art practice of drawing my food bits has translated into soft food sculptures. For inspiration, I've been looking at a lot of food sculptures by Swedish artist, Claes Oldenberg. His work is pretty interesting. You might like to google him.
They look great, so soft and fluffy. I can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteDawn, this is brilliant! You are so totally clever.
ReplyDeleteYour marshmallow plushies are so cute! I definitely can't tell that you're a novice sewer. I'm excited for your exploration of art outside of painting, can't wait to see the finishing project. I think I will have to go check out Mr. Oldenberg, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe plushies are awesome! I would definitely buy a couple for my couch if you ever sell :) hee hee
ReplyDeleteoooo how exciting. this is looking amazing and like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeletethe plushies already look edible! you're so good at sewing!
ReplyDeletewhat kind of sewing machine do you have? and these are adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, it's literally taking shape! I can't wait to see the final result. Are you planning on having a clear bit in the package so you can see the marshmallows inside?
ReplyDeletevery interesting! they look great.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! Would love to see the finished project.
ReplyDeletethese look absolutely incredible! How can you possibly think that you're a beginner sewer...this all seems so complicated. you're doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteFreaking cool.
ReplyDeleteso cute, cool, nice!!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your lovely comments! It's really encouraging to read all of it! For those of you who asked, I use a BROTHER sewing machine. I think it's quite good. PS: I'm such a clumsy person!
ReplyDeleteFor now the marshmallow plushies are not for sale. But I've been toying with the idea of maybe sewing a few mini ones, donuts, macroons and they might be on sale... : )
