Two Grey Dogs

 

 

In one of my recent posts I wrote about the trial and error process I had been going through in order to figure out how I should crochet these dogs. After the custom dogs were complete, I had some time to play with the "leftovers", and that is how these two came into the world.

 

Both of them are listed in my Etsy store, here and here.

Creature diet and creature love.

Moon Man and Lady Creature met the new creature during their afternoon walk; he was still enjoying his picnic for one.

He was glad to go home with them.

Moon Man and the new creature were delighted to find out they are both keeping the same diet.

When Moon Man went to bed, Lady Creature and the new creature found out they had something in common as well. ;-)

A Picnic for One

The new creature...

… felt claustrophobic and bored in his own room.

So he packed his stuff,

and went out.

He spent a wonderful time out there.

Lady creature

Little Lady Creature holds her little handbag and wears her pink sweater – all ready to go out and explore the world. She has doubts about it; maybe it would be better staying in.

Lady creature is made out of unique combination of materials and techniques; her body, hands, and tail are made out of upcycled old socks. Her sweater made out of old sock as well, it has too tiny pockets and two studs. It can be taken off too.The crocheted vest collar embellished with small piece of vintage lace ribbon.The same lace ribbon is also used as the creature's headband and pieces of it stitched the back of her ears.This ribbon is at least 70 years old, it was belonged to my grandmother and I received it as a special gift from her few years ago. Her head is crocheted with cotton threads and facial features are embroidered.

Pink Creature

A new creature was born yesterday.

Today, he already had a busy day of meetings. First he was introduced to some other members of the Bobilina sock creature community.

At lunch time he was introduced to one of the most important members of the crochet community: Mother Bird.The pink creature was so curious to see the wee bird in Mother Bird's bag; he had never seen such a small creature before!

It was a lot for one day. The pink creature had to take a rest and think about it all.

Calm creature

I left the dolls for a while; sometimes the human-like dolls require so much concentration and patience that I am getting tired of making them.

Monday afternoon, I dug out one piece of sock from a collection of sock scraps that piled up on my desk. At first, I thought it was going to be another bird, but out of stitching and crocheting, this little creature emerged.

Not a bird for sure, just a creature; and a calm one, I assume.
He is now listed on my Etsy doll store.
