Traffic Light Crew

This is my first set of stuffed animals. I call them the Traffic Light Crew. They are based off of the three parts of the human psyche: The Id, the Ego, and the Super Ego; in relation to each light on a traffic light.
Green is the Id because the Id is "I want to do this, so I will" and the green light means "go"

Yellow is the Ego because the Ego helps decide between the Id and the Super Ego and when you reach a yellow light, you can decide whether to speed through the light and hope you make it, or stop for the red.

Red is the Super Ego because the Super Ego is basically your concience. It tells you to do what is right instead of what you want and a red light means "stop"

  1. Very clever concept. I can hardly wait to see what type of fabric you use. What size are you envisioning?

  2. I would say that the bodies of each one would be about six inches tall. I wanna see how my other two sets come out first though before I decide on which set I plan on sewing together.

  3. I really like the concept as well. The little creatures look so cute! However, no offense, I think that the very wide mouths are a little scary.

    Cannot wait to see the final results!

  4. Oh those aren't mouths. I guess it does kind of look like that haha; but those are actually really big noses :)

  6. They look like mouths. If you want them to be seen as noses I would rework the designs a little. You could shrink the noses or add small little mouths. They are cute as mouths, it is just if you want them to come across as mouths or noses.
