Your name: Heidi Kenney
Where you’re from : Pennsylvania
When did you first get into plush? About 6 years ago I was making plush purses, I got very bored with the purse part of it so I dropped it and have been making plush ever since. I’ve sewn plush before that too but never for selling, just for fun.
What inspires you to continue to make plush? Just the drive to create something new, something challenging.
If you were going to direct someone to site that best represents you work? Mypapercrane.com
Any favourite plush gods/artists/designers out there that influence you? Mary Blair, Richard Scarry, Tove Jansson, and so 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? I guess I would save the fabric at first and weave together strips of vine and such to make housing. I’ve always thought that my sewing skills could come in handy on a desert island. I think because of my love of textiles I would view the leaves, vines, and tree bark in a new way. I would see them a raw materials. I would save the fabric for clothing or things that would need something soft.
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? Not dreams but I have been to a real vintage fabric sell that was pretty close to that!
If you ever become a multinational business, rivalling the market share of all other plush artists, what will you do with your newfound plush power? Hmm I guess use the power for good not evil.
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? Plush Food Girl able to thwart evil with a swing of a donut. Her powers would be donuts of steel, able to create food for the hungry with a snap of her fingers.
Which one of your own plush would you describe as a self-portrait? Currently I would say it is my little house girl sitting with a group of mushrooms. Not because it looks like me, but because I have a strong sense of home + family, and I am currently obsessed with little mushrooms.
