OLIVER IS DONE!!!
The button is meant to be his belt buckle
The character Oliver swift belongs to @directdogman and is from the game Dialtown!
Final toll: a pin prick on my finger, around four days of work, and having to redo every part except for his head
All in all it went pretty great :)))))))
Stay tuned for adventures with Oliver! And a love story between him and the randy plush I also made??? Who knows

Technically, I -AM- in bed!
Had a leisurely shower Friday afternoon, then spent the evening on the phone. Painted my nails a nice dusty blue; very flat and opaque, though still a glossy finish. (It doesn't shimmer like most make-up and nail polishes do. Just a solid color.)
My phone's already asleep for the night, so we've got a low-light, grainy webcam pic. This gray floppy bunny is not my usual snuggle partner, but it was exempt from the plaster dust awhile back. Just haven't gotten to cleaning up the stuffed animals since then. (Shake them out outside, brush their fur for the older ones.)
Mom and I got our floppy bunnies for easter sometime in the 1990s. Mine was white; hers was this gray one. It somewhat mirrored how my Gund Spanky bear is white (Since) and hers was brown (Gus). They're very floppy, with bean-pellets in the hindquarters but not in the limbs. I'm tempted to restuff at least one of 'em, sans pellets, to substitute for a body pillow.
Think I should look into how best to wash the loose polyester fluff. I've got Since's old stuffing still (planned to make a little stuffed heart with it later), and I suppose it could be reused if washed. There's human and pet dander on stuffed animals, along with whatever skin oils and drool might've seeped through the fabrics. (My old cat Gizmo used to nurse on Since when she was a kitten, back in the 1990s.) So I understand there's a health hazard; I certainly wouldn't stuff anything I intended to sell with this recycled stuffing. It's just... I don't wanna be wasteful if there's a somewhat simple solution.
My best guess would be to stick it in a zippered pillow case (which I have!) and then try to let it air dry, spread out on a table? For pellets, I will either sew pouches or use pantyhose material (those cheap trouser socks you can get, for less than $1 a pair) to help keep them from shifting within the plush body. I bet I could wash those with dawn dish soap and warm water, just by hand.
It takes me a long time before I get around to doing different projects. I may sound ambitious, but it's just the planning process. I have plenty of other projects to do before I get around to this. I mean, remember how long ago I washed Since? Like 2020ish? Yeah, still haven't actually brushed her fur, even though I bought a slicker brush specifically to use with plush. I also misplaced it, then kept forgetting. I mean... *gestures around* This is just me.

Do you have any idea where I can find someone who makes plushies like these, but for sharks and stuff?
(I'm assuming "like these" means "realistic and/or floppy," but please clarify if I've guessed wrong.)
I'm not sure about sharks, but here are a few who do "and stuff."
@palaeoplushies has incredible realistic fish and prehistoric marine creatures. I have a bunch and I love how detailed and floppy they are.
CuddlesGalore on Etsy makes lovely whale and dolphin species, as well as realistic fish. They don't look floppy but they still look super neat. They've been on my list of artists I need to order from.
Please add on if you find any more!
