Description
A little about this Side Quest
This chonky boi was inspired by the bumper crop of endangered baby kākāpō that arrived in 2026 — a record-breaking breeding season for these gorgeous birds! His portly build and the mishmash of different yarns and textures used to create him made this a particularly fun Side Quest to work on. His fuzzy little face is finished off with a baby mussel shell for his beak.
This is a one-of-a-kind Tangled Side Quest, handmade by me in Whangārei, Aotearoa NZ. There is only one available. While there may be other Kākāpō in the future, there will never be another exactly the same…
The details
Approximate size:
Height: 35 cm
Width: 35 cm
Length/depth: 30 cm
Materials:
This creation is a fun & chaotic mix of new and 2nd-hand wools, and acrylic & novelty yarns with hand-stitched details. I especially love incorporating recycled, upcycled and 2nd-hand leftovers into my works. The polyester filling is made from recycled bottles.
This creation features a baby mussel shell for a beak, sequined yarn and wire-wrapped toes!
Handmade & one of a kind
Each Tangled Side Quest is designed and made individually by hand — intentionally slow-cooked with love and proudly AI-free. There are no commercial patterns here; each creation comes straight out of my head and hands, using a selection of whatever yarns/leftover wool balls happen to be on hand in my overflowing stash. I don’t make identical copies, so once this one finds a home, this particular Side Quest is gone.
Small irregularities and quirks are all part of the handmade nature of the work.
Care
This piece is intended primarily as a decorative fibre-art piece rather than a toy.
Spot clean gently if required. Please avoid machine washing and keep away from prolonged dampness, strong direct sunlight and enthusiastic pets. 😅
