Artist's Comments

Custom Catbus plush sewn from a hand-made pattern. Original character design copyrighted Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki. Catbus is from "My Neighbor, Totoro".


About 85 hours of work went into this, from pattern development to final embroidery. Entriely hand sewn and hand embroidered, no machine use. About 17 inches long from head to tip of tail, and 7.5 inches tall when lying on tummy. Includes destination sign, and all four mousey headlights!

This is, by far, the most difficult and time consuming plush I've done. While the end result is great, I've learned so much during the span of my working on this, that I know I could do better. But that's why we do things, right?

Comments and Critiques are always welcome and appreciated!

And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war.
