New Plush Dolls by Cat Rabbit are Based on Recent Trip to Japan

Cat Rabbit

Sep­tem­ber is one of my favorite months. Not just because of the cool­er tem­per­a­tures, but because it’s my birth­day, too! (I sus­pect that many peo­ple chose their birth­day month as their favorite, too.) First on my gift wish list? These plush dolls by Cat Rab­bit (pre­vi­ous­ly)! They are total­ly adorable and the detail­ing is, as always, impressive—especially with the small accessories.

All of these char­ac­ters were cre­at­ed for Cat Rab­bit’s show Return to Twin­kle Plaza at the Bris­bane-based Out­ré Gallery, which is based on her recent trav­els. “I used mate­ri­als and sup­plies that I sourced in all of those amaz­ing craft stores you find every­where in Japan,” she writes on her blog,  “includ­ing wool from bricoleurs in Sap­poro and love­ly tra­di­tion­al fab­ric from Nip­pori Fab­ric Town.”

If you’re local check out Cat Rab­bit’s show until Sep­tem­ber 7. Buy works from the show on the Out­ré Gallery web­site.
