Cat-Rabbit!

Your name:
Cat-Rabbit
Where you’re from:
Hobart, Australia
When did you first get into plush?
I have always pottered around with felt, but Cat-Rabbit was born in about 2003 out of a lack of money - I couldn’t afford to buy nice birthday presents for my friends so I made them instead.
What inspires you to continue to make plush?
Watching animal documentaries whilst drinking a cold glass of milk.
If you were going to direct someone to a site that best represents you work?

Any favourite plush gods/artists/designers out there that influence you?
Beatrix Potter, Richard Scarry, Stanley Donwood, Ghostpatrol, Empire, Helen Goninon, Tara Badcock
If you were stuck on a desert island with only a couple of yards of fabric, scissors and thread, what would you make?
A small house and some pets. I would then live in that house with my inanimate pets while I slowly and inevitably descended into madness.
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?
Um no, unfortunately. Last night I dreamt that my best friend and I opened a fish and chip shop.
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?
Why, I would take over the world of course.
If you were going to make a plush superhero that would represent your style best, what would be their name and what would their powers be?
I am not really sure, but it would have something to do with a badger and a pipe.
Which one of your own plush would you describe as a self-portrait?
Probably the mountain goat: slow moving, enjoys cups of tea and likes Judy Garland.
