Plushies & things


I've seen these extremely cute appliqued plushies in a few stores here in India. I've even sent a friends son a lovely appliqued story book (It was so unique, I almost wanted to keep it then I figured it was better off with a 4 yr old) These are handmade by women in Gujarat. I'd love to get to the actual source. They retail for about 4 times the cost here.


This is Ganesh Blue by Doze Green - A New York born and bred, pioneer of hip-hop culture & graffiti legend. Ganesh towers at 10 inches tall atop a giant boom box. The Hindu god of good fortune is, sportin' a pair of shell toes and a jewel in his round belly. On his back are inscribed the letters E.O.T.O. -Each One, Teach One .

    Indi : Pigs are rather cute. I'm not sure if they have any pig creatures though. But if I happen to come across any , I'll be sure to let you know.

    Vindy, I KNOW, it looks so cool! My mum has a Ganesh collection , imagine this one perched amongst those.

    Tommy, thanks for visiting ! hope your trip to India was a blast. The images are amazing, will be putting them up soon.

    Arch,
    I've seen a bunch of these at Contemporary Arts & Crafts (dunno if they have one in B'lore) So check it out when & if you do come to Madras.

    I love the whale too & I have to say the Ganesha is probably the most versatile pop icon of India, he has like universal appeal!

    & Thanks for the compliments !
