Topic:
“The Stuffies”
Also known as my large collection of plush toys
Documentation book of each individual
Names, date acquired, personalities, diet, likes and dislikes, friends, etc.
Semi-fictional storyline about their lives as a stuffie
Each stuffie also carries with it a “life lesson” either revealed in the story or from its personality
Things that need to be done:
Photographing of my collection (individually, as a group, etc.)
Developing each one’s profile
Develop look and feel of book
Developing copy (the introduction and story)
Experimenting with cloth texture papers
Planning out elements in book (i.e. pull-out sheets, fold-outs, etc)
Why this topic:
Collection of plush toys started as a toddler
Find it extremely easy to personify items and in turn develop attachment to them
Used to develop imaginative stories about toys when I was a child
Humorous, fun, and playful
