I made a neat shape yesterday called a humybug. I’d never done one before. Followed the tutorial here: https://plushcat.blogspot.com/p/humbug-tutorial.html. You start with a rectangle and sew it into a little tetra shape. It’s cute. I think it would make a good cat toy. :)
I was thinking closest food item would be Onigiri, but you’re right! I was only able to find a Swedish product picture, but these definitely existed. Now I feel old ;)
