Fluffels!


Your name : Fluffels by Mariska Vos-Bolman
Where you’re from :Netherlands
When did you first get into plush? Two years ago I got my first sewingmachine. After a simple pillow I made a star plush, then there was no stopping! And now I make plush and DIY plush kits for a living.
What inspires you to continue to make plush? I get a lot of nice reactions on my creations, that inspires me a lot to make more plushies. Japanese kawaii things inspire me a lot to. I've been to Japan once and hope to go there again. I've loved plushies before I started making them, I allready had loads! Now my house is getting really stuffed with them, but the husband hasn't complaint yet, well not to much haha.
If you were going to direct someone to site that best represents you work?

Any favourite plush gods/artists/designers out there that influence you?Oh there are many inspiring artist, to name a few: Marianne Roosa, creator of Oneyes. Ploesiepoesies by Electric Luna, Cuddly Rigor Mortis by Kristin Tercek and many more :)

If you were stuck on a desert island with only a couple of yards of fabric, scissors and thread, what would you make?


A fishing net ;) Well and a plushie to talk to :P
Do you ever have fabric dreams, where you walk into a store and see all of the fabrics you have ever dreamed of for sale? hahaha no. I don't really get excited about fabrics, the process of turning a piece of fabric into something that makes you smile is the fun part for me.
If you were going to make a plush superhero that would represent you style best, what would be their name and what would their powers be?A cute, crazy funny bunny that has the power to make everyone want to hug each other!
Which one of your own plush would you describe as a self-portrait? Hmm I think most of my plushies are inspired by the people around me. I think I have very nice, fun and inspiring family and friends :)
