My name is Mariska. I'm a designer from the Netherlands that creates cute quirky characters called Fluffels.
I've started Fluffels two years ago, a month after I got my first sewing machine. I bought it to make pillows and maybe clothes, but ended up making loads of plushes instead:)
I also make soft toy kits and patterns for people that want to create their own plush. Those are called DIY fluffies.
I graduated from the Utrecht school of Arts in the Netherlands. After my graduation I worked in the videogame industry as a 3d modeller for a few years, but decided to go full time with Fluffels last year. I got pregnant after one month and now I'm combining motherhood with Fluffels.
A new addition to Fluffels are jewelry designs that I started creating a few months ago. They are acrylic laser cut pendants. I think Acrylic is a perfect material for pendant because it is so strong, but still very light in weight.
I'm giving away one Toy Grabber Bear necklace to a Paper*Cakes finds reader!
to win:
Visit Mariska's store and tell me one thing you liked best :) You can gain additional entries by tweeting, blogging, facebooking, etc as long as you post an additional comment each time. Entries are unlimited. Good luck! Will be drawn for Monday morning!

I love the Fluffel Zumba the Monster best because his expression matches how I feel sometimes - and I don't think I have ever seen a combo of insanity/RAWR!/smashy! captured so perfectly on an inanimate object before!

Oh, thank you so much for the giveaway!
My favorite items at Mariska's etsy store are the "Fluffel buttons" and the "Toy Grabber Necklaces" (bear and kitty).
Thanks again and congrats for the beatiful designs!

Tumsy the bunny is absolutely adorable.

I love Tumsy the bunny because it lifts my spirits! I love the whimsical flower tucked behind one ear. I have a sister who collects everything to do with bunnies and she would love it. Has widespread appeal to almost any age group. Sooooooooo cute!
Ohmygosh, I had hearted this exact necklace a little while back! It is of course my favorite in Mariska's shop ;) I also really like the other colors it's available in, the black and then the red kitty!
Thanks for doing the giveaway! :)

My absolute favorite is the bear toy grabber necklace!! It's adorable and has such sweet details! Thanks for this opportunity!!
I am SO in love with Big Red Cat Boris! He is too cute! The Fluffels are so awesome!
My favorite is the Toy Grabber Bear Necklace. My reaction to seeing the necklace when it loaded on the screen nearly gave my husband a heart attack from the sudden "OH MY GOODNESS THAT IS THE BEST NECKLACE EVER!!!"
My fav was Bruno the dog. He reminds me of the cartoon bulldog from tom and jerry. Very cute I might just have to get one of the fluffel patterns. The dragon is just awesome!
I really love the toy grabber kitty necklace!
Aww what a cute necklace! It is my favourite alongwith the Fluffel buttons.
Thanks for the giveaway :)

Oh these are way too cute! I love the Zumba the monster necklace. I just had surgery, and I think this little guy's expression is an accurate description of my pain level! TOO cute!
Strangely enough, I had the same reaction as Tracey (see above) when I saw the necklace you were giving away. It looks like a design NOTCOT founder Jean Au would be interested in.
