Toy Moodboard

Designs of Toys that will inspire my outcome.

1+2) These are two toys my Grandmother made by a simple knitting patterns and tights, recycled as filling. Felt has been stuck on for the eyes.

3) Toys I made from recycled pencil cases and stuffed with cotton wool. The letters on the blue one's chest spells 'Robin' (for my brother) and has been stitched into the fur.

4) Plastic Toys that has been crafted to look like letters. I thought it was interesting to mix typography with Toys, so I took this picture outside a toy shop in Kingston.
