Politically Plush!
Came across these unbelievably cute plushies on etsy, though no longer available, too bad….
Chris of ChrisCreatures in Rockville, MD made this awesome Tofu for Obama
the text says: “Tofu plushie knows who he is voting for this year!
This Tofu plushie is soft, cuddly, and interested in politics. He’s perfect for any Obama supporter. Includes tofu, t-shirt, and an Obama sign for rallies. Tofu’s t-shirt is removable and has a velcro closure in the back. Because each one is hand sewn and unique, it may vary very slightly from the picture. ” And even better, proceeds of tofu sales went to the Obama campaign! ROck ON, TOFU!
Cassie from talkproof in Fremont, CA had made this Eugene the Polar Bear as a response to the whole Palin issue: 
About Eugene: “Eugene just heard about Sarah Palin and her opposition to putting him and his family (and extended families) onto the endangered species list. He is infuriated and sick and tired of her shenanigans, and has decided to take a stand >:(”
While we’re on the Cute-Tip, I must give props to a fellow craftsperson whose work i truly enjoy, Hilary Pfeifer, a Portland, OR wood artist who does exhibition installations of wood multiples, and makes uber cute small figures through her bunnywithatoolbelt site. Monsters, holidays, and i really like the sets she puts together as vignettes. You almost can’t just buy one by itself, they are so appealing. I mean, how can you resist a green love monster?
just in time for halloween.
and the irresistable tall orange monster, who i refer to as CarrotMonster
Hilary brings her latest installation “Natural Selection” to San Francisco’s Velvet da Vinci this coming January.
Read more about this work on her blog, Bunny with an Artblog.

Hey–thanks for the sweet mention of my ouevre of work! I just had to mention that I had also seen that tofu for Obama stuff on Etsy and thought it was really clever and of course cute. My sweetie and I spent some time looking through all that person’s work and were amazed that they could charge $5 for things??? Do they make a profit? Maybe it’s just a gift to society. We all need a little more cute in our lives, right?
