These two cuties are headed to the land down under. I love it when good ole’ folk art gets exported.
Who says America has no culture! ;) Sorry, I guess I might be a bit touchy about that. I was recently in South America hanging out with a nice German guy who did not hold back his opinions of Americas lack of taste and culture.

Back to Sock Monkeys- I’ve been asked how I make the slightly folded ears for the classic sock monkey.
I draw the shape. (for classic is about 80% of a full circle)
Sew it. (for pre-sewn sock monkey kits this shape is already sewn in)
Turn it right side out.
Bring the two ‘corners’ together and make a small sorta cone shape and sew that to the sock monkeys head.
Happy Monkey Making!

Just finished a fun project for a great company. Sock Guy ordered some sock monkeys for thier next catalog. What a fun idea!

Hottie Sock Monkey was the first one and now here are the other 5.

Vegas Sock Monkey "Ace"

Recently, I was contacted by Sock Guy. The art director had the great idea to have sock monkeys made from some of their sock, for their next catalog. They had me make up a sample sock monkey from the "Hottie" socks.

I think she came out pretty cute. What do you think? :)

I had a some fun with these little guys before I shipped them out. :)

I am loving my new light tent for taking pictures of the sock monkeys. I do find I pretty much have to use it outside though... I don't have enough light in my house.

I think my favorite thing about playing rpg video games is making avatars.

Now, I can make avatars without the huge time sink of playing an rpg. Whoot! :)

Here is my first creation.
