If you are in the New York area, I hope you’ll come to the opening of an awesome plush show, Luv-able and Hug-able at gallery hanahou! Their sister gallery, gallery LELE in Tokyo, invited me to participate in their plush show last year. Now I’m honored to have been asked again…this time in the good ol’ US of A.

Luv-able and Hug-able includes an impressive list of well-known plush artists contributing, as well plushes by nine Japanese artists, who are enormously popular in Japan, but rarely seen outside of their home country.

Amazing new work by:
Angel Oloshove, Anna Chambers, Anna Hrachovec (Mochimochi), Betz White (me!), Christina Gordon (jamfancy), Corinne Dean (Not Too Pink), Eloole, Heide Murray (All Good Wishes), Heidi Kenney (My Paper Crane), Hello Brute, I Heart Guts, Kup Kup Land, Lexi Franks (Orangefishy Plush), littleoddforest, Lisa Grue, Lizette Greco + Grecolaborativo, Marcus Oakley, Matt Campbell, Rosa Pomar, Sewn by Blythe, CHiCHiTOHTOH, Chino Akiyoshi, Katsutoshi Otsuka (ToyField), Keiko Miyata, Michiru, Miyoko Ito, Risa Tanikawa, Saki Yamashita, and Yuriko Sera

The opening party is November 8th, 6-9 pm, and the show will continue through December 21st.
