Sock creatures need hands

Posted by bayan


"Sock creatures need hands," mumbled the round sock creature to himself,
while I was already crocheting a pair for him.
As soon as they were done, he was invited to take a look.

They seemed to be fine.
Sewing them to the creature's body was painful.
He had to take a rest when it was over.

Crochet construction

Posted by bayan


It was long days of crocheting, till I got the construction of the armchair. Some parts I had to re-crochet few times till I realized how I should do it. At first I crocheted all the parts, sew them together and stuff afterwards. It turned out as a big mistake. I had to crochet all the four legs twice, since only when I stuffed them I noticed that the crochet hook I used was too large and the stuffing came out of the stitches.
After re crocheting the legs, suddenly the arms turned out to be too small, so I had to re crochet them too.
It all was a bit exhausting, and yet there is much more work to do till someone could use this armchair.
The crochet doll wasn't really bothered by it, she decided to give it a try as it is.
Couple of friends popped in, they didn't even notice the new furniture but were very curios to see what she is busy with.

As time passed by, and conversation went on and on, covering much of the issues were discussed in the studio lately, she had to give up the comfy padding.

Eyelids crocheting

Posted by bayan


My birds got wings, head and beak, only eyes were missing.
By a small ball of stitched piece of socks I created the eyeballs and sew it to the crocheted head.
The small bird got a crocheted eye lids.
For the bigger bird it was more complicated, as this bird ordered a made to measure pair of eyelids with eyelashes.

I crocheted both in one piece

and attached it to the head, same as I did with the eyeballs.

It was a very gentle operation, I had to keep it very accurately right on its place, taking care of not causing any damage to the bird's eyesight.

Here it is the bird with its new eyelids-eyelashes.

Red and white, from shoes to birds

Posted by bayan


I was deeply inspired by the bridal shoes I was asked to customize in red and white.

For a long time I had this idea of creating new birds, it was so long since I made the last ones. Some of them already flow away and spring time felt so perfect for new ones.
After the red and white shoes was done yesterday, it was clear what colors the new birds are going to have.
