Here is my latest plush creation, titled, “Grepp”, that I made for the show “Soft Serve” at OhNo!Doom.

His outfit was handmade with inspiration from the current fashion trends of Luigi Bianchi Mantova.

Some close-up shots of the details:

Mr. Beardsley has transformed himself into Lou Reed as part of a custom order.  I gathered a look from the early 1960′s – Lou had so many different looks in the 70′s that it was tricky to pull one style together.

He is sporting a handmade mini faux-leather coat and pants and striped cotton-blend shirt.  His hair was made out of roving wool.

The banana was made out of wool felt.  I free-handed the ‘ripening’ while looking at a Velvet Underground LP.

And of course he needed his removable Mr. Beardsley  disguise for the complete transformation!
