Subatomic Particle Plushies

Matter of fact: The Particle Zoo makes particle physics that make you warm and cozy!


Particle Zookeeper, Julie Peasley hand-makes the particle plushies in her studio in Los Angeles. Her "particles are art items factoring the equation: SCIENCE+ART=UNDERSTANDING." In addition to being doggone cute, Peasley creates her plushies to raise awareness and interest in the fascinating field of particle physics.

To simulate maximum mass - she adds gravel to the dark matter (instead of standard poly-fill minimum mass)
