Attempt the second

So I was feeling quite accomplished having achieved something quite OK and even if I thought it had some faults my friend was extremely happy.

The next two plushes were requested by work colleagues who promptly started arguing about who got to have theirs done first. I tried to choose whoever had honestly asked me first but who really knows if I was right.

He wanted Black Widow from the Avengers movie. He kind of wanted Scarlett Johannsen but really there are limits to what one can do in a plushie. He also said she had to have proper boobs and I thought, what the heck.

So I started working on a planning sketch. By which I mean something that is not a great drawing but helps me work out what I need to do.


First problem was I didn't really have red hair colour, but he seemed happy with a more pillar box read so I got started.

I decided I'd make the curls more obvious with embroidery and although not entirely accurate colour wise her bullet bracelets would be a sort of shiny maroon.
I some ways she was way easier than 10. There was no separate coat, and to make my life easier and as she was technically in an all in one suit I put her body in one piece with the belt embroidered on.


She also came out slightly more cuddly than 10 and with rather more forehead than planned but I still liked her. All in all one happy PG.

He liked it and his daughter (under the age of 1 year) apparently kissed it, which she doesn't do really.

One satisfied customer.
