In the Pitt Rivers museum, I saw a lot of Chinese toys made of fabric with painted on features. They used very simple shapes, and relied on the details to give the animal identity. I've decided that both this, and the fact the Baku is a children's book, is good reason to make a plushie. I also have some fabric that can be put through an ordinary printer. So yay!
So here the design, to be printed on one side of the plushie. The other side will be plain felt in order to save costs (the fabric was expensive!) but otherwise I would have made the plushie two-sided - the other side being the back view of the front half.
