Hey y'all! I want to experiment with a new (to me) plushie pattern making technique*, but I'm not sure what I want to make with it. What complex plushies would you suggest? *it's the one where you make a 3D model out of crumpled paper or other objects and like masking tape around it, then draw on lines for the pieces, cut out the pieces, and add darts. I've considered doing it before but didn't want to crumple up that much paper on a technique that I might end up disliking, but it occurred to me this year I could use wrapping paper my family would be throwing away anyway! so this year I am experimenting lol

#the person behind the yarn #this is not a judgment of people who use this pattern making technique it's just my own weird personal hangup about it #if my family still got paper newspapers I'd have no problem using those #but for some reason the idea of crumpling up like printer paper for this was just a major no for me #idk. honestly it might be the texture of the printer paper?#crumpled newspaper or wrapping paper is a lot less sharp than crumpled printer paper #huh okay that's something new I have learned about myself while typing these tags #apparently I don't like the feel of crumpled printer paper #...until you get past the sharp crumpled stage into the 'soft like fabric' crumpled printer paper stage #well did not expect to learn a thing about myself while making this post #but that's not the point! the point is: pattern #currently my ideas are dragon or fox of some kind #but no idea has really grabbed me yet
