I've been busy with designing a new range of soft toys. I haven't found yet a child that doesn't like to play with garden bugs, and so I am designing a new range: Garden Bugs. The image show the first prototypes I've made, but already I'm thinking of changing the caterpillar (looks a bit like a whale). The cricket is fine and I think the snail will be good at the end.
Just a quick note on the Craft Fair organised by Pedestrian Arts in Leicester. A nice venue with lots of people passing through. Above are some images of my wares (lots of sun as you can see). Had the fantastic help of Agata in the morning and then Maia in the afternoon. Thanks girls!

The buterfly cycle : The buterfly hides in the cocoon and it zips up.
O ciclo da borboleta: a borboleta esconde-se no casulo que fecha com zip.
The flowers are all to button up and can be hiden under the grass; On the kitten one ties the ribbon with a knot and lace.
Abotoam-se as flores mas tambem se podem esconder debaixo da relva. No gatinho da-se o no e o laco na fitinha.
