This is SO cute and I need one for a pet! Craftster user sparrowarms‘ daughter calls dinosaurs “dinohorsies” so she decided to make a plushie Dinohorsie. Click through to see Dinohorsie’s friend Herb.
Craftster user danger0usangel03 made these Ryu and Sagat plushies for a friend who is attending a Street Fighter tournament. I want to attend a Guitar Hero tournament!
Craftster user loveandasandwich makes plush monsters and this time she’s made an entire monster family. That’s mom in the middle. Check out her Etsy shop for more monster fun.
We are currently all Harry Potter all the time in our house. In the past couple of months, we’ve watched all five movies so we’d be ready for #6, and my little guy and I have been reading the first book, a chapter a night. Now he’s watching Potter Puppet Pals on YouTube, probably completely inappropriate, but very funny. Funny and awesome craftiness. But he just asked me the question I always love and dread at the same time – can I make him a Harry Potter puppet? Love because he thinks I can make anything and dread because half the time it’s beyond my crafting abilities. Any other crafty moms have that problem?
Anyway, all this to say that I took a spin through Etsy to see if anyone else is making Harry Potter puppets right now and found these very sweet dolls, including Ron Weasley, by GirlCalledRic. I love the little Gryffindor necktie! More Potter characters, Star Trek and some super heroes in her Etsy shop.
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:
Level 80 Blood Elf from World of Warcraft
The Nameless One from Planescape: Torment
Is Mystery Science Theater 3000 still on? That show always cracked me up, although watching any movie with my husband usually produces a similar effect. Craftster user MageAkyla crocheted this Tom Servo plush for her very lucky brother. Brilliant use of additional materials and that sleepy eye is hilarious.
