I made this octopus about a year ago in the fall of 2023 during school. It took about 2 hrs. I make them for a freind who collects them, at the moment she has 47 versions.
I have made 2 of these balloon dog animals. One was for my teamate and the one in the photo was for my baby cousion. Each one took about 6 hrs to make because of the complexity.
This is one of my most recent plushies. It took about 3 hrs to make for my sister.
