Esteban

Not sure why I haven't made a sock monkey with a moustache until now. Pretty suave.

Daru

A little guy I whipped up for a friend's new baby. I do felt eyes when making sock monkeys for little ones. Hope he is loved by his new friend!

I got a case of monkey blues

My first sock monkey with a soul patch! The guitar was fun to make, but took longer than I thought. I really dig this little guy!

Hemp Jewelry


Before the sock monkey years I used to make quite a bit of hemp jewelry. I made this choker and bracelet set yesterday using hemp cord with glass and wood beads. I am pleased with how these came out even though it's been a while since I worked with this material. Hemp cord is pretty durable and gets softer with wear.

Lucha Duo! Monkey Wrestling is fun!



You can't just make one luchador sock monkey because you need two to do some sweet wrestling moves! Here is Blue Devil and El Santo putting their best moves on each other!

Besties


These little monkeys came out so cute! They were a gift for a pair of adorable little girls.

Blue Devil Monkey

 
This is something I have wanted to do for some time- Luchador Monkey! I used this unassuming young simian [link] and threw in some hot sauce, latex, scorpion venom, and a couple of Indian burns to get BLUE DEVIL MONKEY! Enjoy.
