Hi I'm Bex! I'm based in the UK and I make "Palaeoplushies" - Palaeontologically Accurate Plushies! I also make other animals (mostly fish).

Check out my work here: www.palaeoplushies.com

I've made some smaller beanie versions of the Devonian jawless fish - Zenaspis!

At 25cm long, these are lifesize! www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/zenaspis

I ship worldwide from the UK, US tariffs collected and pre-paid for easy delivery!

Finished up some plushie Small-Spotted Catshark/Lesser-Spotted Dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula) this morning!

These are all printed at-home- this gives me the freedom to use different fabrics and slight colour variations!

They're for sale over here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/smallsp...

PLUSHIE CATSHARKS available on my website; www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/smallsp...
A 90s style advert for plushie catsharks. It's eyestrain purple and pink, with red, black and yellow text. Three plushie catsharks are in the middle, with text layered over them reading: "Small-Spotted CATSHARK Cuddly Plush Friend. Smooth both ways... Just like the real thing!" ... yes I know sharks aren't actually smooth. It's a joke. If you know, you know.

My thought processes when I made this. I swear I sat down to finally pattern the dunk but I just can't focus on it. My focus slides right off.
An angel and devil float above the shoulders of a cartoon thylacine representation of the author. The angel says "Make Dunkleosteus.. everyone wants that!" And the devil replies "No, you know how much you love complexity... Leafy sea dragon!!". The clueless thylacine replies "Uhh I'll make CATSHARKS!" with a bad drawing of a Catshark.

I've been working on a Spotted Eagle Ray pattern. Their shape is surprisingly hard to get right.

I have two listed on my website, they are made of super soft minky and are weighted with plastic beans.

A whole shoal of goldfish have made their way over to www.palaeoplushies.com

These cute carp won't grow too big for your cuddles, and unlike the real thing they don't need a pond (or a real big tank) to be happy.
A selection of realistic plush goldfish- yellow, orange, white and colours in-between. Some have short fins, some have long fins. They all have hand-painted (digital) artwork, with each scale individually shaded. Don't ask how long it took.

These male smooth newts are in their breeding colours! Is it the right time of year? No! But they're plushies so it doesn't matter.

For sale here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/lissotr...

The artwork for these were painted traditionally using watercolours and ink pen.

The first few goldfish I've printed here at home are available on my website:
www.palaeoplushies.com

These plushies were designed and painted digitally based on photos, printed with special ink onto sublimation paper with my modified Epson Inkjet and then heat pressed onto fabric.

I've got some giant plush beetles looking for homes!

Unlike their real counterparts they don't need to be kept on a substrate of leaf humus and rotten wood... Though this one seems to be enjoying the leaves!

I've got three prototype smooth newt plushies up for sale www.palaeoplushies.com

The original artwork for these was watercolour on paper! Next time I'll design the pattern first before painting it because I ended up having to modify it more than I intended. Silly.
