Anyone ever heard of the comic strip Calvin & Hobbes?
Well the creator of the strip will not release any merchandise of the C&H characters. That's right.. no t-shirts, plush dolls, hats, stickers or anything! (they do how ever sell the books of all the comic strips)
Anyway.. my Hubby Ray is looooves Calvin & Hobbes, so for his birthday last week I made him a plush doll of Hobbes (the tiger) it took me a VERY long time to finish him.. mainly because I was getting lazy and I had to make the patter myself. But the day before his birthday ,Hobbes was all done!
Well now our 2 year Anniversary is rolling up (May 14th) so I plan to make Ray a plush 'Calvin' (the little boy) to match his friend Hobbes (the tiger) as an anniversary gift. I was thinking, we COULD use them as puppet type dolls too...like do a puppet video with them.. (if we connected rods to their hands) but I dont know if we would want to risk damaging the dolls by poking holes in their arms.
I dunno.. what do you guys think?
Here's pictures of the plush Hobbes doll I made:
Picture 1
Picture 2
So now I must try to make a Calvin doll...
Grrr sewing by hand takes so long!
*sigh*
