I’ve Got Plush Fever (WIP)

For the final project in my Art History class, the assignment is to take pretty much any work of art throughout history, of our choosing, and “re-envision” it as we see fit. I chose to work from a self-portrait of Rembrandt van Rijn, and obviously, plush is my medium. He still needs clothes (which will bulk him up a bit more) and some painting accessories to finish him off, but I think he’s coming along nicely so I thought I’d share a progress shot. I have decided to hand sew him despite the fact, as can be seen behind him, my sewing machine is readily available. I’m not sure why I made that choice, but I’ve stuck it out so far. Never again though, machines from now on, I say! He’s about 10-11 inches tall.
I need to make a few robots while I’m still in the plush zone.

nice to see you’re attempting your new years’ resolution. ps: i like the tag.
Was my resolution to branch into plush? Wow, I’m glad someone remembered because I sure didn’t.
