Finally, we have the final SeaquestriaFest mascot, Taffy! She's a seapony who loves to party, and is ready to have a good time with everyone at the convention.

One conundrum I faced when designing my seapony pattern was figuring out how to get her to stay upright without toppling over. Ultimately, I made the base of her body considerably wider than the rest, and filled the base with weighted poly pellets (to make her bottom-heavy), then stuffed the rest of her normally. It worked rather well, I must say!

Taffy here is one of three mascots for SeaquestriaFest, an MLP convention happening in Ocean City, Maryland this month! I was contracted to make plushies for all three of their mascots, all of which will be donated to the charity auction. The proceeds will benefit JDRF, a foundation fighting against Type 1 diabetes.

About My Beanies
All of my beanies are around 8-9 inches tall (about 11 inches standing), and about 12 inches long from hoof to hoof (princesses are just a wee bit bigger). The heads and bodies are stuffed normally, while the hooves contain weighted poly-pellets to help them stay balanced on your shoulder while walking around. They're the perfect-sized travel buddy, they fit neatly inside a carry-on luggage, and they also look super-cute riding in a messenger bag.
