Silly Monster

I was really having a great time making monsters yesterday and completed another old lady pants monster, as inspired by the book Closet Monsters by John Murphy.

Here is the before photo:

Turns out the inside of these pants looks very different than the outside, and I thought it looked perfect for monster skin.

Here is the creature I came up with, out of those ugly pants:

I have to tell you, this monster is totally as crazy as he looks, but he's also a lot of fun to hang out with.

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?
