things i started: amigurumi monkeys

i was showing my mom some things i had made, and she saw the amigurumi monkey, mori. she loved it most of all and said to me: “just make monkeys!”

i wish i could just do one thing, but it seems i always have to be trying to do something i don’t know how to do. i like to learn new things. i forget that by doing something over and over, you can also learn new things. i lost the discipline i learned from my sculpture teacher. when i’d show him something i made, which usually involved some kind of serendipity or happy accident, he’d hand it back and say: “make 20 more”.

dig deep!

unfinished monkeys

so i started to make some more monkeys. and i’m starting to come up with a body pattern that i like. it’s like the bunny… it has a butt, and the chest comes in leaving space for arms, and the upper back curves like an old teddy bear.

but i have to get some faces on these asap.

    there’s something magical about learning new crafts but there’s something even more magical when you decide to stick at doing at ya know best.
