Plush You! @ Double Punch

THIS FRIDAY, Over 100 artists exhibit their plush and art @ Double Punch Gallery. Plush You! is an annual exhibit that showcases plush creations from artists all over the globe. The brain-child of Kristen Rask, owner and curator of Schmancy where the first exhibit was held in 2005 and has continued to grow and grow ever since. This year (I am so excited!), a second 2008 show is scheduled @ Double Punch Gallery in San Francisco in addition to the October Seattle show @ Schmancy.
