Cuddly Toy




Cuddly Toy project - sentimental times! This was created due to the 'loneliness', which I have never recognised, from moving to England from Hong Kong when I was 9. I was looking into how I would cuddle someone and usually bury my face into the part where the neck and shoulder meets. That curve is replicated 6 times to complete the 'circle', so that the user can pick it up from any angle and just bury themselves into the cushion. This black version is stuffed with polystyrene balls so when you hug it, it takes up all the space inside the fabric and stiffens the shape, creating a feeling that it is (some sort of creature and it is) hugging you back.

Handmade Lampshade for our 3D Pop-Up Shop






Lampshades made from shredded paper, string and black thread. This is the first time I wired up my own light, it was pretty amazing that it worked and I didn't get shocked :D
