Opal stands about 20 inches tall. She is made from deer suede, knits, and minky. She is fully articulated with wire and has a wide range of posability. Her bow is made from clay, wood, and string. Her pearl is hand sculpted and the amethyst is a craft gem. I worked hard to get the body very accurate to her design, which involved a more complex body pattern. The fingers were sewn by embroidery machine which made the hands more manageable. Her face was hand draw, digitized, and embroidered by me. Getting the fabric colors right was also very important since Opal is all about that soft aesthetic. I also tried to push the Amethyst in her features, credit where credit is due for that hair and those hips. The bow was a bit of a challenge, but I am happy with how it turned out, especially the rustic string.



I really enjoyed making Opal. She has one of my favorite designs of the show. This plush is definitely one of my favorite pieces I've made. Overall, I think she came out both accurate and elegant. She was actually commissioned by the same person who bought Pearl, so they will be together! I plan on making more Steven Universe characters in the future. Dolls are always a treat, and I'ma big fan of giant women.
