Euen



Euen was made from a pair of sturdy, but plain moss green socks and looked a tad bit dull. I went to the fabric store and purchased a bit of pretty blue, plaid flannel and made him this nifty vest and cap. He looks quite dapper now!

Mikey Dread

This is a Rasta style sock monkey done on request for a lovely customer of mine. I call him Mikey Dread after a favorite reggae artist of mine. The real Mikey Dread sported an awesome beard, but my Mikey is clean shaven. Perhaps I should look into to making bearded sock monkeys...

Candy Stripers

Who says horizontal stripes make you look fat?


I made these two as a gift for my friend's children in England. I love when my monkeys get to travel!

Simian Alien


Alien monkey experiment. After making monkey and alien plushies, this was really the only logical choice.

Aloysius


Aloysius is a little bear I made from some very soft brown fabric I scavenged from the remnants bin. He did not turn out exactly how I had planned and came out with a koala-like look. Still, he is cute in his way and not a little nefarious.
The three bears I have made do not have movable joints, but I am looking into the parts and mechanics of making some with that ability in the future. I have so much to learn yet.
