Scrap Monster

Currently Listening To: Deal Or No Deal/ Happy About: New Cacti!/ Angry About: Kings totally messing me about >:(

Got super fed up of crocheting for the craft stall last night. Just wanted to make something that didn't require much attention, counting or anything. So I did abit of freeforming and came up with this little guy...

I call him The Scrap Monster because, well, he's made of scrap yarn. Apart from the white, which is from a new ball. He also has odd eyes because they are what I had left over from other projects - he's a total mismash! He was fun to make up as I went along, and I'd love to make more with other scraps I have :)

Morris Mouth

I have a new ami to introduce to you, he's name is Morris Mouth!

Isn't he fun?!! He came into being back in February when I got an email from the lovely Mika, who was an Etsy customer of mine. She said she had some designs and generously said I could use them to base some ami's around. Here is her concept sketch...

The major problem I had with him was the mouth. It dips in in the middle, so I needed to make a kind of oval bowl. It was one of the most complicated patterns I've written, but I think he was worth it :) I also added a top hat and a cane lol!

Here's a picture of me holding him, for scale...

This version of Morris went to live with Mika. For her contributions I am sending her the ami's made from the patterns. So that means there will be more to come!! At the moment I am mega busy with crafting for a craft and vintage fair I have coming up in May (did I tell you about that?!) so I don't have alot of time to write patterns at the moment. But when I get a break I will be working on..... lets just say it's a twist on an existing animal :)

I hope you like Morris Mouth! I will be putting the pattern for him up in my Etsy shop some time this month, he will be $3/£1.88 :D

Oh, and my Blythe doll arrived this week!! I called her Zoe, and will be posting pictures of her soon :)
