Yellow Horse Art Studio started with it's founder making plush from her own patterns for her kids - we have found kids (and adults) have a special bond with these critters - all hand made, all one-of-a-kind. Many of them are custom crafted for people with special little details, like favorite colors, patterns or textures. We seem to make best friends for folks and love every minute of it. Our founder also loves to curl up with her kids and a good book - so she started to write her own - which we proudly offer as well. "Plain Giraffe" was written and illustrated around 2008; our founder updated the illustrations in 2012, and now we get to share it with everyone! We look forward to helping you create new best friends for those special people in your life - both through plush creations and through books!
