Stacey Hsu is not only a super busy mom to two wonderful children; she is also a wife, children’s book illustrator, published author, plush designer and creator of Original Sock Dogs. Her Original Sock Dogs were first introduced at Art Unleashed 2005, an annual live and silent art auction benefiting the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City, where she has been volunteering since January ‘05. They were such a hit that she decided to continue making them. As an artist who loves animals, her mission is to raise awareness and funds to benefit the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City, no-kill animal shelter (10% of every sale is donated to the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City).
All of her one-of-kind handmade plush can be found in her Etsy shop, Three Red Trees. Her shop offers more than just Original Sock Dogs. Once there, you will find other fun stuff for pet lovers like note cards with Dogs in Bad Sweaters and hand painted paperclay sculptures. She has also been known to create sockcats (my son has one), pink elephants and birds.
