Arthur

To sell - 2023

From Raggedy Ann (TV specials)

Process

Arthur is a dog that first appeared in the Chuck Jones special Raggedy Ann and Andy in the Great Santa Claus Caper, and is a fan-favorite. I made the two of these to sell.

They use the Giraffe Plush pattern by Choly Knight, adjusted slightly to give him a smaller neck.

Assembling the body

Assembling the head

A test safety nose that was too small

New felt nose

Sewn and stuffed

Time to add some of the iconic features of the character, such as his loop ears, collar, and patches.

For his tail, I braided togather several pieces of yarn for more structure.

Instead of doing wefts like I usually do, I chose to sew bundles of 4-5 pieces of yarn down at once. I don't think this makes much of a visual difference, so in the future I will likley stick to wefts.
