A custom made bunny bear

I am feeling happy today! This evening, I have passed a custom made bunny bear to a male customer which was requested by him 3 weeks ago.

This bunny bear is specially made for his girlfriend =) His girlfriend has lost her bunny-bear which her aunt bought or her as a gift 15 years ago. It was lost during transportation and she is terribly upset as this bunny bear has a sentimental value to her and they could not find the similar bunny in any shops anymore.

He has sent me some of the images of the bunny and I believed this bunny is a manufactured bear. Its really a challenge for me as I m still a novice in soft sculpture design... although as a product designer, I had the ability to visualise 2 dimensional into 3Ds.

Initially, I have thought of rejecting his request but when i met up with him and his girlfriend, I somehow feel that i must help them with my ability and passion for design. I wanted them to be happy and i wish i can do something to help =)







Its really challenging to do this... they have no samples to show me... just a few sketches drawn by me and a rough dimensions given by them... and of course the most helpful photographs from them with no side views :(

My prototype



I have spent a week cracking my head after my work, spent few hours a day to draw designs and made a prototype with cloth. It's really not that easy! My mum had asked me to call them up to reject their request several times, as she isn't confident that i could made it :(

Now a week has passed, and i have proven her wrong! Here's the final design!

Now he has received the bunny bear and is pleased with the design, I am really really glad. I hope her girlfriend will like the bunny and pass her down to their future children and grandchildren.

And they live happily ever after.





Custom made 5.5" Waynestonbaby is now available in my Etsy Shop
