Castiel The Shoulder Angel (Backpack)

I love the term "shoulder angel" and i'm surprised there aren't more angel inspired backpacks because of it, so i decided to make my own. His name is Castiel, from the hit CW show Supernatural.

He's got removable straps that attach at his hands and hips. The clasps at his hands are contrasting, so they can connect together to give hugs. When not in use, they hide in little pockets in his hands.

His stomach opens up to hold banana chips (and other useful items) while his back (modelled here with some pins) opens up to hold a medium sized sketchbook, with pockets for three pens and a wallet/cell phone and is kept closed with two magnetic closures.

I like to use him to carry my yarn and knitting supplies around so he's usually real soft and cuddly, despite his frowny serious face.
