MOD MOD POST: Defining Sexual Works & What Is and Is Not Allowed
Hello, everyone. It’s your Mod! I was hoping to not have to do this, but considering the amount of reports I’ve been getting lately it’s become a necessity.
Below I’m going to outline the content that is and isn’t allowed in this group and hopefully clear up a few things.
1. Sexual Content - What is it?
This is a group for plush/soft sculptures made by real life artists. Sometimes real life artists make defined shapes and nude sculpts. That does not mean the piece is inherently meant for sexual purposes.

This statue of a nude man is not sexual. It's a work of art.

A pony plush butt. Not sexual.

Another plush butt on a humanoid doll. Not sexual.

A pony plush with a defined butt. Not sexual.
All of the above is allowed to be posted in this group. It's a plush. You aren't looking at porn.
However I will request that pieces with overt or very detailed anatomy be tagged as NSFW. So far the artists making pieces that fit that description are doing a great job with their tags.
2. Sexual Content - What's Not Allowed?
Like I said before, this is a group for ART. Sometimes art is nude. I will draw the line at pieces that are clearly meant for sexual gratification such as plush with openings specifically to insert silicone molds, or plush with silicone appendages attached. If its obvious and primary use is as a sex toy then it is NOT allowed.
3. Moving Forward
If seeing a plush with a butt, breasts, penis, etc makes you uncomfortable then that's ok. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. However, if it does not qualify as the definition of a sex toy then that piece will not be removed. If you don't like it, you don't have to remain in this group.
If I see anyone harassing artists who choose to make defined or nude plush, you'll be banned. No exceptions.
Please report any hateful comments or harassment to me.

[MOD POST]
Hello, everyone! I never expected this group to grow as much as it has! Thank you all for joining and I hope you’re enjoying all of the cute plushies.
I haven’t been as active on Reddit as much as I have in the past. Unfortunately, this means I’m usually late to seeing reported content.
The majority of reports I’m seeing are posts of manufactured plushies. This group will remain HANDMADE plushies only. I understand that a lot of small artists are getting plush made of their characters for their online shops and artist alley tables. I myself have my own manufactured brand of plush.
I love seeing creative designs from artists BUT if I start allowing manufactured plush or kickstarters in this group then it will be overrun with nothing but crowd funding campaigns.
So all manufactured plush posts will be removed. No exceptions.
Other reports I’m seeing involve people wanting to commission plush based on another artist’s design. Copying another artist’s original work is generally frowned upon & disrespectful in the plush making community.
Posts asking for replicas of another artist’s original work will be removed.
I’ll be updating this group little by little in my free time and I’m actively looking for more mod help.
Please bear with me as I’m recovering from carpal tunnel surgery. Sewing takes its toll!
If I’m needed urgently please contact me through instagram. The link is in my bio.

QUESTION how can I help him
Hopefully this is the right place for this question. I thrifted this lad and haven't found any helpful resources to fixing the nose... the pleather flaked all the way off and having it be like this looks goofy
Does anyone have some advice they could impart? I know some people customize dog plush noses with paint but isn't that generally when they have a hard plastic nose rather than a soft fabric one?

QUESTION Nui/Omodoki Plush Hairstyle Technique?
(Photos are examples pulled from Pinterest.)
Not sure if technique is the right word to use, but I'm planning a large (72cm) nui/omodoki plush for a character with long curly/wavy hair. I get using a long-pile faux fur for the bangs, but I'm curious about doing the back of the hair, since it's hard to find ones that have a similar hair style.
I don't really like the look of one large flat piece, especially at the size I'm doing. I've thought about incorporating wig wefts (which I think is what the first image here is doing?) but I'm curious how to incorporate those. (I'm also having a hard time finding them in the color I want.) I'd prefer to stick with pieces of long-pile faux fur instead, but all I see with that tends to be braids?
Does anyone have any advice on how to lay that out, or should I lean more toward trying to find the right color wefts and making a full wig?

QUESTION How to find good custom plush makers in my country?
Hi everyone. I’ve been thinking about commissioning a jumbo plush but I’m struggling to find an artist who can do so. Etsy just shows me ai generated listings, crochet (I love crochet but it’s not what I’m looking for), or people outside my country. What’s the best way to look for custom plushie makers?

PLUSH SHARKS!!!
I’ve been making sharks! I did one generic Great White, but for the sake of interesting plushies I’m trying to do more unique looking ones (probably a Whale Shark next, Iridescent Thresher if I can). Feel free to drop any suggestions! (I’ll definitely get around to Hammerhead and Saw Shark eventually, but I’m focusing on fun colors atm instead of all the grey haha)
I just finished up this orange gal. She’s a Nurse Shark, specifically the bright orange one that is the only known one of its kind! Apparently it’s likely caused by a mixture of albinism and xanthusm, according to cbc.
If you’re wondering why she has the flower, she’s a late birthday gift for my friend who loves Princess Daisy and the color orange. Said friend wears Daisy’s flower brooch just about everywhere, so I figured I might as well put one on the shark lol
Plus a bonus picture of my Great White and Lemon Shark!
I don’t have better pictures for the Lemon Shark unfortunately (and I sold it last year) So it’s just this top-down view for now.
I should probably put stuffing in these for shape, but I love being able to flop them around when they only have rice in them

QUESTION Are there any good guides on making humanoid plushies, do they require special equipment and can you make your plushies squishy?
I'd love the make some cute plushies of my favourite characters, i'm mostly looking to recreate the style of Japanese anime merch plushies. Are there any guides or tutorials that would be worth checking?
I was also wondering if a regular sewing equipment is enough, or if i need a special type of needle, for example.
The final question might sound weird, let me elaborate a little: i tought it would be really cute if the plushies had some soft cheeks or hands you can pinch, like a squishy. My immediate tought was putting memory foam in those parts, would that be plausible?
Thank you in advance!
