Having pop culture inspired art hanging on your walls is wonderful. Having a pop culture inspired plush or doll you can snuggle? It might be better. I definitely find Diane Boucher’s handmade crochet dolls huggable and couldn’t resist featuring them in Fan Art FridayOpens in a new tab. She’s been making her adorable dolls for three years. She started crafting the plushes as a hobby, but it’s become a full time job. Diane pulls inspiration from all sorts of films, comics, and games—including Star WarOpens in a new tabs. Look at BB-8:
I’m guessing a lot of you would be absolutely fine with having a lil’ Jareth from LabyrinthOpens in a new tab to cuddle at night.
Take a trip to the gallery below to see more of Diane’s work. You’ll find Groot and Star-Lord from Guardians of the GalaxyOpens in a new tab, a cookie-eating Snorlax, and more. If you’d like to place an order for a doll of your very own, you can do so at Diane’s Etsy shopOpens in a new tab. Visit her Instagram feedOpens in a new tab to see everything she’s currently working on. And hey, if you’re going to Amazing Las Vegas Comic ConOpens in a new tab in June, you can buy dolls from her in person.
Do you create any sort of fan art? If so, I want to see it. Whether you focus on a specific fandom or pull inspiration from multiple stories and mediums, I’d like to highlight what you do.
