Staplegator Plush

I know everyone thought I was kidding, but here’s a partially completed prototype:

(the proportions are off I know!)

That’s cute. It looks good.
What were your plans for the Staplegator plush? Were you going to sell it at next year’s STAPLE! show?
I won’t be at ASG this coming Sunday, but I look forward to checking out the plush.

mmmmmaybe, but with you guys’ permission, of course! Once my new business activities get settled, we’ll figure it out.
lovely grammar, eh?

Sure, if by cute you mean creepy! But in a good way.
Hey, are you on Etsy.com? If not, you might want to check it out—it’d probably be a good place to sell your stuff.

Great artwork Ursonate! I love the placement of the eyes. It makes ‘em look bonkers! How’s the Staplehead prototype coming along?

Revisions galore! I’m making it slightly smaller and flatter so it doesn’t fall over when you set it down. I’m still on the fence about whether to make it from acrylic or wool felt or felt at all and I’m thinking it will hold its shape better if I stuff it with foam rather than fiberfill. All the little details! I just got an iron finally so that will make a big difference too.

Come to think of it I never changed the design all that much. Oh well. You can see them all in person tomorrow at the Austin Zine Library table!

I love love LOVE my Staplegator!
My boss might not love it as much.
Boss hands Colleen important-type documents
Boss: "Can you get these to the board by 2?"
Colleen shoves important documents in plush stapler presses down it’s nose and yells CLICK!
Colleen: (finally looking up) "What did you say?"
