NEW ART: I've uploaded some "new" art (older pieces that I've not had online before). You can see them in the July archives.
Neglectable Pets: VetTech 2 and the Spotted Kitty.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this post
VetTech 2 has a lot in common with the first VetTech Neglectable Pet.
Mainly, it's pain.
This toy was made by request, and is "baby-proofed." That is, it has no beans inside, and not decorative detail that would be harmful. It's a low maintenance washable bundle of painful fun.

Envy, the Green Monster.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This little green monster could be the embodiment of Envy. Or maybe he's just a green monster.
He has double button eyes (old, recycled buttons) which are all the better to see you with, and a blanket-stitched mouth bring filled with ferocious teeth that make sticking your hand in his mouth a risk you'll have to take on your own.
The mouth is a small pocket, a great place to hide stuff you want guarded by this monster. He has stripes and spots down his back, and ever-so-faint yellow rick-rack claws on his bottom feet.

Materials: Fleece, cotton, buttons, polyester stuffing.
Size: About 8" tall and 6" wide
Other: Completely washable, easy to care for. Not safe for children under six because of the button eyes.
Price: $20
Availability: This item is on consignment at the Heritage Arts Gallery. Please email me directly if you would like to purchase it.

Stripes the Cat.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
Based on the "brutus" cat pattern inspired by my own cat, Brutus, this cat has stripes on his back. Hence, the name.
Double button eyes (old, recycled buttons) and a blanket-stitched mouth bring filled with ferocious rick-rack teeth give him character. Or attitude. He's lightly stuffed, very squishy, and fun to throw around. Plus, you can hide all kinds of stuff in his mouth; it's a pink pocket that goes down inside of this hungry cat.
See detail | See back
Materials: Fleece, buttons, polyester stuffing.
Size: About 9" tall and 8" wide
Other: Completely washable, easy to care for. Unlike the real Brutus. Not safe for children under six because of the button eyes.
Price: SOLD

Cave Cat
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
Based on the "brutus" cat pattern, this cat is actually kind of sick. He's a cave cat, wearing clothes made out of..."cat."
Double button eyes and a whip-stitched mouth bring out his expression of stupidity. He's lightly stuffed, very squishy, and fun to throw around. Plus, you can hide all kinds of stuff in his mouth; it's a pink pocket that goes down inside of this cave cat.

Traveling Gullivers
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this post
His name is Gulliver, and he travels. He travels wherever you take him.
This unique plush character has a function beyond looking ugly-cute: it holds stuff. And he's cute, of course. He makes a great toy for kids*, purse, novelty item, and travel ID holder for around your neck.
Gulliver comes in two sizes, small and large. The large Gulliver (shown to the left) has an additional pouch in the back for holding larger items.
Gulliver also comes with a few options.
You can add the front vinyl pocket for your ID or leave it off (image here).
You can have Gulliver with or without "lips."
You can give Gulliver a set of rick-rack "teeth."
Gulliver has looped-ribbon ears that allow you to attach a lanyard to him (Gulliver does not come with a lanyard) and hang him around your neck when traveling, keeping your ID close at hand. The loops can also be used to attach him to other things by other means, or they can just remain as his "ears." Gulliver's mouth can hold credit cards, cash and an ID. His eyes are old, recycled buttons and all embroidery is done by hand, the old fashioned way.
All Gullivers are hand-made for each order, unique from each other, and come with a "birthmark" that lets you know you have a real Gulliver in your possession. All Gullivers are washable except those with the vinyl pocket on the front. Gulliver comes in all kinds of colors** and fabrics, including fleece, knits, and flannel.
1. Small Gulliver (no back pocket)
Price: NO LONGER AVAILABLE
2. Large Gulliver (back pocket, longer body)
Price: NO LONGER AVAILABLE
----------
*Not suitable for children under 6. Gulliver has button eyes and these pose a danger for young children.
**Please allow me to choose fabrics, colors, prints and buttons. Feel free to include color choices in the comments section of the online shopping cart. I will do my best to accommodate you with the supplies I have in stock; there are no color/print guarantees. Please do not request extra detailing or specifications than is shown in photos or listed as available; email me with your request and I will adjust the total price accordingly.
