High concept softies

I'm a big fan of all softies (obviously!). Love the cute ones, love the funny ones, love the pink ones (LOL). And today, I especially like the conceptual softies - the ones that you don't expect anyone ever would have thought to make into a plush toy. They show us a really original, creative spirit behind each.

Ok! These are lemmings diving off the edge of the cliff, falling into the sea and then returning to climb back up and dive off again! WOW. what a great idea for a little softie world. This is by the same designer who made the Sleepy Snake Eating a Mouse blogged about here on 4.30

This is a crocheted red Japanese maple tree - look how one leaf has dropped from the tree - lovely detail that!

Designer: Mumblepeg who also won a Softie Award earlier this year
