How the Monkey Became a Goose














It's simple, really. I found a cute goose on an organic toys website and altered it a bit, using materials I had on hand and made it my style.

A friend of mine asked me to make her a soft animal and left the rest up to me...I like how she turned out, kinda autumnal and cozy. Her body is a cashmere knit from a shrunken sweater, the feet are cotton and the beak is wool felt. I've been making and selling human dolls with a Waldorf flair at a local boutique. They are so fun to make because they seem to come alive with unique little personalities. I think animals will be a fun new venture. Man that cup of coffee this mornning sure made a difference in my productivity level, scary.
