I was really interested to read that Florence, an Australian artist, has been commissioned to make toys for the Queensland Government education department. The toys, called travel buddies, will travel visiting schools and libraries, working with students to explore their local community. Each Travel Buddy comes with a diary and a digital camera and the kids will keep a blog of the Travel Buddies activities.
Each toy is approx 50cm tall, fully lined and reinforced, and takes Florence 2 weeks to construct three, and that’s working all the time, altogether she is making 30 of the toys.

You must have a look at Lolita Blahniks’ blog. She just came up with this superb tutorial.
