They're doubled, and have some stuffing in them - to make them look bulgy, with another one sewn on top, and then the sequin and the bead on top of all of that. That little one took me about 6 hours of handsewing - most of which was done in one sitting - to make.
I have another one - an all red octopus - that took me over 8 hours to make. >.<
She doesn't have a name, haven't been able to come up with a good one yet.
And this is another one I'm rather proud of - I made this one for my mom. :] She loves goldfinches.
Edit:
The red one - her name is Rosey
