Intended Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial concept for this plush was the poro, a fluffy creature from the game League of Legends. I intended to create a fluffy white poro plush which would have a large, round body, eyes, horns, and a tongue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I decided to make the poro light pink instead of white due to the selection of available fabrics. Because the poro represents love and should be a joy to hold, a rose poro would be an appropriate change. I combined multiple tutorials, techniques, and experiments to create the final product, and experienced challenges relating to creating the body shape, horns, and integrating additional body parts. For the round body I used the four piece sphere pattern. For the horns I experimented and sewed three different horn shapes before settling on the most suitable one. Adding the tongue and eyes were a little challenging, but adding the horns to the body was much more challenging. Despite my hand sewing using thicker thread\/yarn at the attachment area, the horns still have a tendency to pop out a little. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Successes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall I like the placement of the tongue and eyes (I had to redo the eye placement multiple times). The final horn shape is also nice. The poro is round, fluffy, and cute. If a person who played League looked at it, I believe they would be able to recognize it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
