Monsters!

I thought I would eventually finish writing about my trip in Montana, but since it's been 2 1/2 months since I've been back, I guess it's just never going to happen.

So what have I been doing in that time?  Well....
I've been making Monsters!

They are upcycled from old, ugly clothes.  Here are my first 2 creatures.


The one on the left is named Toothless, also sometimes called Gappy.  He was made from a pair of old lady's green polyster pants, probably from the 70's.

The one on the left is George.  He's made from an Old Navy turtleneck sweater shirt.  He spawned on Richard's birthday, September 18th.  He is currently spending time at the Art/Not Terminal gallery gift shop in Seattle, if you'd like to visit him.

Andy was too attached to Toothless to let him go with his friend, so I had to make a new friend for Toothless.

Here's how it started:

Then I got this:

Then after challenging myself to the max, I felt a bit like Frankenstein must have when turning the switch on HIS monster as I put the last bits of stuffing in.

Here is the monster I finished today to befriend Toothless:


What will I make next?
