the adventures of animal...

A few days ago I brought you the adventures of Lulu who has gone to live in LA. Today I bring you the adventures of Animal who is pictured here in his new home in Hartford. He is now staying with Isabella Kiss of MyNameisnotKing. If only Animal could talk maybe we would know more about the adventures he has had - because he surely has had some. He took 6 weeks to get there from Bosnia Herzegovina! I wonder who he visited on the way... You can see more pictures and read more about him over at her blog

Animal - Mark II

You might remember back in October I made an amigurumi animal for a drummer friend of mine. Well last month, after seeing some pictures I'd put up on ravelry of animal, Isabella of MyNameisNotKing asked me to consider making her an animal. I thought about it and sent her a quote which she seemed happy with and we came up with a deal. He needs to be ready for the middle of February. I've been working on him today and he's coming to life! This post is especially for Isabella so she can see how he's coming on!

Happy Birthday :)

So today is a friend of mine's birthday. He's a drummer. He mocks my love of amigurumi quite regularly :) but he set me a challenge - 'make me animal from the muppets and I'll like what you do.' So here is animal from the muppets. The head was quite hard to make - especially getting the mouth right, but I am really pleased with the result. Let's hope he is too!
