Big Blue Monster Soft Sculpture by Terri Rehg

Caught mid-frolic! Big Blue bursts from his lime-green plaque in an explosion of cobalt felt and textural abundance. That single bloodshot eye peers out from beneath dramatic ruffled brows—one smooth, one covered in intricate embroidered scales that add reptilian texture. A bulbous nose protrudes prominently, while hand-sculpted polymer teeth jut out at chaotic angles beneath a shock of green fuzzy beard. The pièce de résistance? A waffle-cone horn rising from his head like he’s part mythical beast, part ice cream fantasy. Layered felt ruffles in varying shades of blue create dimensional depth and movement.

About the Piece

Part of Terri Rehg’s Monster Series, Big Blue showcases the artist’s playful approach to monster making—this creature clearly doesn’t take himself too seriously. The combination of luxurious felt textures, whimsical details (that ice cream cone horn!), and bold color choices creates a piece that’s simultaneously sophisticated in craft and gleefully absurd in concept. Mounted on a vibrant lime-green circular plaque, the complementary color pairing makes both the blue and green pop with maximum visual impact.
