Dark purple, daffodil yellow, and orange fleece Hug Me Slugs, stuffed animal plush art toys

Dark Purple Hug Me Slug stuffed animal art toy by Elizabeth RuffingI finished two more plushie 12 inch fleece Hug Me Slugs. I crawled into the garden, which I haven’t cleaned out yet, to get a more glamorous photo of this dark purple slug softie with our bright pink azaleas which are in bloom just in time for Easter.

Dark Purple Hug Me Slug stuffed animal art toy by Elizabeth RuffingThis boy or girl has a magenta heart.

Daffodil yellow Hug Me Slug stuffed animal art toy by Elizabeth RuffingI also have at the moment, three more 9 inch daffodil yellow fleece Hug Me Slugs, where you can pick out your own heart color. I’ve got them ready this time, so there isn’t a long wait, just a couple of days for me to add a heart and make a personalized hang tag for you.

Daffodil yellow Hug Me Slug stuffed animal art toy by Elizabeth RuffingThis one has a cornflower blue heart. I was never able to get this exact color of blue again, and so at some point in the future, I’ll have to switch blues. Not to worry. I have so many colors I am sure I have another blue that will look nice with the yellow.

But in this case, I can add any color heart. I’m leaving that up to the adopter.

Orange Hug Me Slug stuffed animal art toy by Elizabeth RuffingThis orange 12 inch slug is also ready for adoption, at the time I am writing this post. He or she has a gold heart.

My stuffed animal art toys and dolls are over in my Etsy toy shop at hugmeslug.com so please come have a look.
