Nice monster

Alex's (7) description of the drawing: "This is a nice monster, he doesn't bite, and he loves kids. He may look scary, but he still loves kids. One arm and hand is too big and it's not supposed to be. That's all." Later I learnt from a letter of Alex's mom, that the nice monster was inspired by an old silent movie about Nosferatu. I hope Alex will make friends with his monster!

 Szelídített szörny Alexnek - remélem, a plüss szörnyet könnyedén lebirkózza.

Softie necklace

I've already made a necklace for my niece, here is one more piece of softie jewellery.

Újabb nyaklánc készült. Kedvenc részletem a színes sugarak közötti kriksz-krakszok - hogy a csudába juthatott eszébe a művésznek ilyet kitalálni? És ilyen precízen odarajzolni három színnel mindegyiket...:-)

2 x 2 softies for two 'sets' of grandparents.

King Moose

"I loved this project so much." This is how I wanted to start this post. But I immediately realized it wasn't very original, as I have started so many of my posts with this sentence. But this is the truth. There are so many softies I love making - no, not all of them, but luckily enough most of them. And King Moose was definitely one them! A lovely request from lovely people.

It was a request from Austria, and King Moose was drawn by Trystan (12) for someone, who collects mooses, and Trystan wanted to surprise him with a unique one. Quite obviously King Moose became the ruler of the moose collection (and I enjoyed making his crown so much - sorry, another not-very-original statement...). He has a zipper on his stomach, because he is a moose with an exciting life and lots of experience. He is not young at all, so he had to look oldish and dignified. His arms are wide open because he has a very big heart - these were the things Trystan asked me to keep in mind when making the softie.

The pocket on his tummy was so empty. I was satisfied with its checked lining, but something was missing. And all of a sudden I had the idea: I sewed a big heart for him and I put in the pocket. Trystan liked it.

Trystan was very proud to have his drawing turned into a real softie. This is what he said on getting the photos of the softie:  "there is no chance for another moose on this world to become the king moose, because our king moose is the only one, the best and the most kingly and friendly moose."

Boyfriend softie

Batzy wanted a softie of her boyfriend made from photos. I usually turn down orders like this, because it is so difficult to capture someone's facial expression on a plushie. The only exception I've made so far was a lovely grandmother from Germany - that softie had to be very simple, as it was for a newborn baby.

But Batzy made such a lovely and detailed list of her wishes, that finally I decided to say yes. Her boyfriend Zack is chubby, wears glasses, has a beard and a blonde streak in his hair. He usually wears dark grey shorts and black T-shirts. I was asked to sew the T-shirt with "Darkgard3n" written on it, plus Zack had to hold a camera in one hand, as he is a photographer. That's all :-)

And the best part of the story: the softie arrived in time for their anniversary!

Firkapasi - kivételesen elvállaltam, bár ilyen firkababát varrni őrült nehéz és rizikós. Szerencsére a megrendelő és a megajándékozott is elégedett volt :-)

Alien

A really boyish softie :-)

Amikor a FirkaBaba elérte az 1000 lájkot a Facebookon, hálából nyereményjátékot hirdettem az olvasóimnak, és a random.org az angol Lou nevét dobta ki nyertesnek. A háromszemű az ő fiának készült.
