A brand new big monster I finished up a few days ago!
He's on my list of my all time favorite plush toys I've made so far.

This guy's also special because he's the first monster I've ever put up for auction. The auction runs until my birthday :D (September 14th!) & can be found here! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250292320677)


My Little Monster, Teeku

His story:

Teeku's are one of the most expressive creatures in the monster kingdom. Their vocals can range from cooing and purring like a kitten, to screeching like car tires or exploding like fireworks. Accountable for these powers of sound are their enlarged mouths and vocal chords. With these gigantic mouths they can also make a very wide range of expressions, and you always know what one is feeling. What's even more unusual is, at birth, Teeku mothers must immediately tie their babies tails to a vine or some sort of rope. From the first moment of birth up until toddlerhood, they are filled with a sort of gas that is very much like helium. Once past a certain age, the babies will have grown their legs, and the gas will slowly leak out of them until they're able to walk about on their own.

He's totally one-of-a-kind & totally handsewn. :D
About 13 inches tall & 18 inches wide.

He's a classic, Chelsea! He'd be one of my favourites that you've done. Love the expressive mouth on him! The backstory is priceless too - love they have to tether their gassy babies! :)
Great work as usual and I think the back story makes your characters just that touch more special.

Hey Chelsea,

Hope you don't mind but i was scribbling during my lunch break and tried this lil homage to your awesome Teeku. Didn't really do him justice but he's such a cool character I had to try...

Redfrog: Oh man!! THANKYOU he looks so badass. He's all buff & his belly fur looks like a goatee, hahaha. I made it my desktop background.

Oh & ps! I'll be emailing you soon with lots of toy making questions. :D
