Temnodontosaurus platyodon


Temnodontosaurus platyodon
This plush is made from a custom printed minky pattern of an original design, hand crafted and stuffed with polyester fibres. They have plastic eyes with secure backings.
Each plush comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist; Rebecca Groom, as well as the date of creation.
As this is a hand made item, it is not intended for children and is designed to be an art piece for adults. As they are mostly stitched by machine and hand finished, they won't fall apart if handled roughly but have not undergone the relevant safety tests to guarentee their safety as a child's toy.
This plush design was the first “Palaeoplushie” ever made and might not be as accurate as my later work, but it has a charm to it that I wanted to bring back.
Plushie Dimensions: 44cm long
