What Will Become of the Monk, the Monk




I finished my Monkey! He is intended as a gift for someone, so I haven't named him yet.
(details about the pattern are in This Post) My absolute favorite part of making toys is the surprise that comes after I add their facial features. This guy turned out to be a tiny bit shy.. who knew? I never plan these things, just add eyes, nose, mouth, etc. and let serendipity (or my subconscious) surprise me :-}
I will be making at least one more of these, I think.

Make another one to give away and keep this little guy! Yes, he does look a little bashful, or coy. So sweet!

It's amazing what a facial expression can do, isn't it?

I must've missed this post in all my hoop-la last week. . . He is ADORABLE. I love his little topnotch and his sweet little face. So very cute. He looks like the old fashioned Lifesavers candy package to me! :-)
