This is a quote from The Phantom Planet, a delightful episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, which I made for my friend.

This is a quote from The Phantom Planet, a delightful episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, which I made for my friend. The design is based on the poster from the movie. The best part is that I initially stitched it as “attentioin” and had to pick it out so I could spell “attention” correctly.

Fidough is a new Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlett and Violet. My nephew asked for a stuffie Fidough for Christmas.

It’s a pretty complicated shape. I think it turned out pretty well, but its head is so much bigger than the body that it keels over forward whenever you put it down.

The wings are an aluminum frame lined with color-changing LEDs with nylons stretched over them.

Ghostie
