Moya the #lioness is here and everyone else’s pouncing toy designs have some catching up to do. She’s smol by my standards, 3.2m long and under 7 kg, I wanted to make her easier to mail.

The new 76 PHR vinyl is wonderful. Like a 1990s snow tube on a warm day.

Some minor blemishes and weldover but not to a concerning degree. I’d want this tightened up for production.

Her size is quite dreamy, but 3m or 2.75m might be more practical. She’d still dwarf existing pouncers though.

Alas, the trade situation has only degraded, so a run of her later in the year is probably a pipe dream…

The design principle of #inflatable #architecture is simple:

air is introduced into a confined structure to create individual elements and interactive or immersive spaces.

The ability to be constantly deflated and inflated allows these structures to be transported with relative ease,

which is why most of their current applications are found in art projects,

such as the Big Air Package,

as well as in exhibitions and pavilions, like the
London Antepavilion, Tricolor Trilogy, and the Airship Orchestra.

ArchDaily · Inflatable Architecture: Pneumatic Structures Transforming Built EnvironmentsInflatable architecture challenges the traditional architectural paradigm of permanence, proposing ephemeral buildings that use textiles and air as materials.

It's hard to find areas with low enough light pollution to see a densely starry sky, but on my recent vacation with my walf, up to a part of Maine he likes a lot, we spent some time sitting on the beach at night, just gazing at the beautiful night sky. It was really lovely and peaceful.

I originally planned to get something puffier with my sketch redeem from @BlurTheFur but ended up choosing this. It's nice to just...exist somewhere you'd like to be, as the you you'd like to be. It's peaceful, and lovely. Thank you so much for such a wonderful piece :kay_blush:
