This was the first hippogryph I've made to test a new pattern. It ended up looking a lot like Silverstream because of the colors I had lying around to test with. (Happy accident!) I'm pretty darn happy with her at the end of the day! In fact, I'm so happy with her, I am open to taking hippogryph commissions for anyone who likes what they see! Feel free to send me a note with the character you're interested in (if OC, ref images are required).It was also the first time I've used my embroidery machine to make the eyes. It was quite a process digitizing and then fiddling with the positioning, size, thread density, etc. I have a lot of respect for people who are able to make much more complicated eyes! I am excited to keep learning more about this process and continuing to improve!The wings, front legs, and tail are all wired. I thought I would doing some testing with this to try to preserve as much cuddly as I could while also getting good structural integrity. I managed to strike a good balance here. My cuddle tester agrees with me here!Some people might recognize her from Bronycon 2018 because I carried her around with me.I'm also working on a gryphon pattern slowly but steadily. I'll post some WIPs here as soon as I'm able!Silverstream is made with Lilac, Fuscia, and Azure Shannon minky fabric.Also, shout out tofor her fantastic tutorials! I highly suggest checking them out as they both teach targeted plushing and general sewing skills in a practical, easy to understand way. I find them HUGELY helpful.
