So, I debated on whether or not to post these. Plushies aren't my strong suit and someone once told me that you shouldn't post something online if you don't like doing them (because you know that someone's gonna ask you to do it again)...buuuut, I'm really proud of these, especially after all the frustration has passed lol.
Well, it was mostly the Harley plush that frustrated me to the point that I vowed never EVER to do this ever again. You can't see them here, but I hated the legs on harley....they looked like a freaking lobster claw or something. But, it was a good learning experience too, and obviously I got the courage to go back and re-do her legs.
Joker wasn't as bad though (not to mention he's all one color, where Harley is a flipping patchwork quilt). I had to make his gun like 4 different times...once because I was talking to my roommate and accidentally cut off the stick that held the "bang" lol.
They have magnets in their hands, so they're actually holding hands on their own, not just balancing. Made for an awesome college instructor. =] (Note: They're leaning on a window)
SPECS. Total time taken: about 16 hours Materials: Felt, stuffing, a wooden dowel (for the gun and mallet), cross-stitching thread for Harley's diamonds and lips, basic thread, black lanyard for Joker's tie, and a little hot glue here and there. Design: My own =3
