Your name: Alison Grenier
Where you’re from: Salem, MA
When did you first get into plush? I’ve always loved plush. I started making my own in 2001.
What inspires you to continue to make plush? I love the urban vinyl scene and the artists involved with the urban / lowbrow art movement. Even though my pieces don’t fit in with that, it’s still inspiring.
If you were going to direct someone to site that best represents you work? Pepperberry.typepad.com
Any favourite plush gods/artists/designers out there that influence you? Friends with You, definitely, and 203gow http://blog.livedoor.jp/m203gow/
If you were stuck on a desert island with only a couple of yards of fabric, scissors and thread, what would you make? Wow, not much. :) But if I had my crochet hook, definitely an octopus.
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? I’m not too into fabrics, but I love yarns...
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? Start my own bakery. I love to cook, too.
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?
I’m terrible with names. But maybe a plush spring, or an abstract representation of hyperactivity? Or a giant chocolate chip cookie.
Which one of your own plush would you describe as a self-portrait? (feel free to include pics)

If someone wanted to contact you about your plush? Pepperberrycrochet@yahoo.com
Anything else people need to know about you? I have a day job that I love and am passionate about, too. I feel very lucky because of that.
