Plushie: Philias the Steampunk Mouse

Description

My entry for :iconplushie-database:'s steampunk contest! I'm a tad late, but I'm still in time I hope ^^;. Making this took quite a bit longer than I expected.

So here we have mr. Philias Mouse, a respected, middle aged gentlemouse who has a lot of talent making clocks. He keeps his spare gears on his hat, so he'll always have some equipment with him. As you can see, he has two pocket watches, one works (you can see how long it took me to get some decent pictures!) and one doesn't. He'll fix it soon though. He uses a clock's hand as a cane and is fond of reading too. He's actually posing on his favourite book :D. Philias lives in a small town, most inhabitants aren't very adventurous and neither is Philias himself. However, he would love to sail on an air-ship one day, as he wonders what the world looks like from above. Until then, he'll keep on making clocks.

Philias is made like a traditional teddy, which means he can move his arms, legs and head. The tail is wired so it's poseable too. The ears and tail are made of a special, floral patterned felt, which looks like a real mouse's tail. The hat and vest are made of felt by me as well and are removable. The bow-tie is removable too. The gears on the hat come from a real clock, which I took specially for this project. The gears are of a white plastic and since that was very ugly, I painted them gold. The grey fur is synthetic and very soft. The eyes are made of glass and the nose, mouth and fingers are embroidered on.

This was my very first time making a mouse teddy, and I had never made clothes before either, so this took me a bit longer than I originally expected, but it was definitely worth it! I picked this theme for the steampunk contest because I looove mice and I love clocks almost as much. Combine that with some Victorian-inspired fantasy theme and I just couldn't resist :D Little Philias is one of my favourite creations so far! I hope you'll like him too!

I couldn't take more decent photos sadly, I wish it wasn't so darn foggy outside, it's so dark here I was forced to use the flash... Oh well, at least it's decent :P
