I saved the first plush I made for this year's Plush You event this October in Seattle for last. He is different from the others, not as cute and perhaps even a little odd but he was my source of inspiration for the rest. I wanted to make a simple small toy that would incorporate my silk screened image of a covered stone. I wanted him to look modern and ancient, soft and strong, having a ethereal almost ghost or spirit like feel.
So with that introduction I want to introduce Halvard the guardian of the the sea stones and merfish. I have to thank lisa for naming him for me. According to lisa it means rock defender or guardian of the stones. Perfect !!!
I hope you enjoy your weekend. I am awaiting the arrival of my daughter Rebekah with tales of her far north adventure and I heard rumors of stones :) and also of my niece, Hannah from Winnipeg.
Halvard has such caracter, and it's because he's a bit different that I love him. And because he's a Merfish & other sea creatures protector. :) Here's a special hug for him xoxoxo
Have a wonderful & relaxing weekend ! Much much love !

I love your description of what you hoped to express in Halvard. That first photo with the black eyed susan really seems to capture it. Happy weekend to you!
