Springs Preserve in Las Vegas

I've been dusting off my photography skills and took some photos at the Springs Preserve.

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

Eitooh

An Owl inspired fleece hat for this little fellow!

Blues Monkey Goes on a Roadtrip

 Monkey Blue enjoyed a recent roadtrip from Nevada to Oklahoma. Here are a few shots taken in Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.

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.
