5 Amigurumi Sackboys by causticmuse

I just came across this amazing crocheter (is that a word?) – Maggie Wang aka causticmuse – on Craftster. She has made a whole bunch of cool, very geeky amigurumi dolls based on Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet. I couldn’t pick a favorite as they’re all great, so here are five:

Sackboy Coraline

If Coraline Were Real Polymer Doll

real-coraline

I’ve been hoping to find a really good Coraline craft for awhile (of course, I wasn’t really looking that hard). Let’s face it, Coraline in 3-D, Coraline by Neil Gaiman, Coraline directed by Henry Sellick (the same guy who did Nightmare Before Christmas), I can’t think of anything about Coraline that doesn’t scream “I belong on Geek Crafts!”. And now, thanks to huggiepeelow posting this amazing If Coraline Were Real Polymer Doll, Coraline is on Geek Crafts, the world is right, and I finally have an excuse to write about Neil Gaiman. How wonderful!
