Published Monsters

This was supposed to be a gardening post. It is now a monster post.

The guy above is now available in the shop, and I'm working on a few friends to join him. He was supposed to be in the mail for Art Doll Quarterly, but I decided to keep him here with me. I'm really pleased with him. He's crocheted out of wool yarn and crochet cotton. I did stuff him with plastic bags and wool fiberfill. I'm going through what's left of the bags and then switching entirely over to wool. Wool is a renewable fiber, and I'd rather support the farm I buy it from instead of the use of plastic bags.

I will be switching entirely over to wool and cotton eventually. I still have a lot of acrylic yarn and fun fur to go through. The fibers will be better as monsters, rather than sitting in a landfill or collecting dust somewhere.

I'm hoping all of this fiber switching and monster making will lead to more magazine submissions and gallery opportunities.

Speaking of... I have just found out that my Knot By Gran'ma mini monsters were accepted to be published in STUFFED Magazine. It's all very exciting.

    1. I'm pretty psyched about the whole thing. The next one will be a submission to ADQ... I just ran out of time for this go around.
