Higgs Boson of Wool

Via a posting on BoingBoing I found the shop The Particle Zoo with the slogan "subatomic particle plush toys from the standard model and beyond". It is a small shop in Los Angeles where Julie Peasley is making woolen toys with inspiration from particle physics - below is the gravity related higgs-boson of "wool felt with gravel fill for extra mass".
