Hippie Scientist
Steve Collins, a hippie NASA space scientist, loosely inspired by this photo:

Obviously, I took a few liberties. I gave him some excellent flared bell-bottoms, Birkenstock sandals, a somewhat stoned expression, and a celebratory doobie. Note the time on his watch is the time the Mars Curiosity Rover landed on Mars in 2012.
Made for the Plush Team space challenge.
Steve is made from 100% wool felt with a flannel button-down shirt, cotton bell bottoms, and wool Birkenstocks and watch. His hair and eyebrows are made from wool roving that I needle-felted in place. His doobie is also needle-felted wool. I cheated on his glasses--those are store bought. Steve stands approximately 16" tall and is stuffed with polyfil. His arms are jointed with safety joints for posability.
