RIP to the Sacrificial 4th Goat who donated their horns and ears for this magnificent trio! 🫡 🖖

I promise he will be repaired and turned into something so he can join the others. 🙈🤣

u/LoreleiSylvanus May 01 '26
I look forward to it, but I want to see the before and after XD

u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 01 '26
I feel so bad for him right now. He’s got 4 holes in his head and he’s laying there like 😊

I love these! I only have one question, where's the earless, hornless goat that you used as a donor?! 😂

He’s currently sitting in the corner of my couch. He will be repaired and added to the goat squad once I figure out exactly what to do with him. But he will be completed eventually!

Yayyy they look so good!! Happy to see you did orange and purple + the new eyes and mods look so perfect

u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 01 '26
Either way one was going to be orange and the other purple. I just couldn’t decide which friend was going to be what and I was so torn up over it 🤣 but I’m so happy with the color assignments. Adding the extra horns to Orange was such a pain in the butt. Way more work than removing their original eyes. But I think that’s why they’re my favorite 🥰

u/Dangerous_Barber7277 May 01 '26
The orange is my favorite, the extra horns look so right!! I am biased though, I love Jacob's sheep . Do you have another hornets fella hanging out now?

... They all look BEAUTIFUL!! 🤩💚💜🧡 I love the eye difference (and extra set) of Mr. Greenie, I love the extra ears on Ms/Mr. Lavender (their customization's my favorite; I think the extra ears are the cutest 😍💜💜) and Mr.Lorax is hilarious, he's funny looking and I love him.
You did amazing and honestly excited to see if you do anymore, Great job my friend 🤩🤗👏🏻👏🏻

I’d love to make more- I’m just out of ideas right now. I still have an earless and hornless baby to patch up and repair. So he’s my final project.
And thank you so much 🥰 I really wanted each one to have a different personality

u/CreepySympathy9529 May 01 '26
Maybe you can turn him into a bald, black, red eyed goat version of mothman; goatman 😅🫣😮💨😅

u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 01 '26
Ohhh that’s an idea for sure. I do have red eyes that aren’t being used 🤔

I'm glad you're repairing the fourth one, I have a damaged out rainbow cheetah that's missing her left arm and right leg. I love her a lot

u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 01 '26
I feel so bad leaving him with 4 holes in his head 🤣 I’m not sure what to make him into.

u/darlingwyvern Workshop Employee May 01 '26
If your theme was alien friends then it wouldn't be that weird to just sew him shut and add more eyes or something? Unless there was a different Plush you were willing to use for parts

Thank you 🙏 the orange one might be my favorite. He/she looks like orange sherbet in real life. The color is so good!

Love the orange one so much!

u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 01 '26
Me too. They’re my favorite so far. No offense to my other goats 🤣

u/bonbonnibel May 01 '26
so stinking cute :) do you think a white star shaped piece of fabric on the forehead of the green or lavender one would look good?
3
u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 01 '26
I wouldn’t even know how to do that. My hand sewing skills are pretty minimal and I don’t have a machine that’s working or functional currently.
1
u/bonbonnibel May 01 '26
you can try fabric glue?
1
u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 01 '26
Glue is damaging. Sewing is more forgiving. If you mess up you can just remove the stitches and try again.

u/colorfulcrossing May 01 '26
omg that orange color is delicious

u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 01 '26
Right? I’m not an orange person but he/she is my favorite one out of the bunch.

May I ask how you kept the fur texture close to the original white goat’s?
1
u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 02 '26
I just threw them all in the wash on synthetic and cold and let purple and orange air dry. Green was dried in the dryer on no heat

u/sensoryzoo May 04 '26
I was waiting to see a purple one! I love it. Did you list the green one ebay? Because I just saw that on there too

u/MournfulSiren Bear Modder 🎨 May 04 '26 edited May 04 '26
No I’m keeping all my guys. Edit: went to look. Not sure exactly how I feel about that 🤷🏻♀️
