Pixels and Palaeoplushies

@palaeoplushies

My name is Bex! She/Her. I'm a self-employed plush maker and designer of scientifically accurate soft toy extinct creatures and obscure critters. I also try my hand at digital painting, sculpting and other arty things. On top of my own creations, I share lots of content related to whatever my interests are at the moment, as well as photos of my pet rats and my aquarium.

What is Palaeoplushies?

  • Palaeoplushies is a small business run by me, and my sister Sarah helps make things too! My website is www.palaeoplushies.com
  • We make soft toys/plushies of both extinct and living creatures. It’s a very broad subject matter, I know. It’s usually just animals that interest me (Bex)!
  • Plushies are made by hand in small batches- they sell out quickly! Designs usually return but there's no set schedule.
  • You can sign up for restock notifications for individual plushies on my website.
  • I cannot reserve plushies for people, take payment in advance or personally email/notify individuals when things restock.
  • We are a very small team. I handle all the product design, manufacture, customer service, paperwork, packaging + posting. Sarah does a lot of sewing too!
  • I try to get all orders fulfilled and posted within a 7 working days of the order being placed. Sometimes there might be delays, but I’m trying my best.
  • I'm based in the UK, and world events have meant that shipping is often slow/delayed by customs. This is out of my control, I'm really sorry!
  • Do I take commissions? No* *Unless it is for Sci-Comm work, in which case I would love to help you out! Got a model organism you'd like to show folks "in person"? I can do that!

I am pro-accredited aquariums and zoos. My posts critiquing the animal rights movement are blowing up right now and I just want to come out and say definitively that I appreciate zoos and aquariums allowing the public to view wild animals without potentially disturbing them in their natural habitat or resorting to the illegal exotic pet trade. It is valuable for conservation purposes and many aquariums/zoos take unreleasable wildlife and host breeding programs for endangered species. They are not just institutions for human amusement, they are integral to maintaining public interest and studying the ecology and biology of the animals contained within.

I've been seeing a lot of Anti-Scottish Green Party adverts and blazed posts, obviously targeted due to my location.

I wonder who is paying for these? Who is scared? It's all AI generated slop "essays" that make no sense.

I feel even more like I should vote Green in the upcoming parliamentary election (7th May), someone is scared of the Greens, it looks like they could stand a chance!

McCalls Pikachu Plush 2512 Sewing Pattern

This thing has been out of print for like, 26 years and some of us want to make chubby classic pikachu so uh... I figure it's okay to share bc it's kinda hard to get your hands on the remaining physical copies.

Bonus points: Aelith made some embroidery/applique files for it too

This is FREE, please don't pay for the pattern.

Only the EMBROIDERY is paid.
