Sketched out and finished Amigurumi Bear

man...using 100% organic cotton makes a difference. I don't I'm going back to using my left over cheap-o acrylic yarns.
Anyways, this will probably be my last "bear" amigurumi.
I'm looking at etsy.com for inspirations. There are a few amigurumi books out there, but doesn't compare to some of the stuff posted on etsy.
You think there's a amigurumi group on fb?
Next....architectural drawings or something alongs those lines....then towards the winter season, combine all those images and turn it to some skis!
Yeah, I'm either going to try to design my own skis or put my latest images into a portfolio book...)

June 2009- I'm finally starting back on track with

my sketchbook!!!! it's been totally side tracked from other stuff.
As in life, you can't plan for even a little bit of time for yourself.
Anyways, tons and tons of talented artists out there doing amazing things...
but hopefully that won't discourage me, but inspire me to do better stuff
Illustration taken from little bits and pieces of my life.
Oh, and I still will continue with the Amigurumi crochet projects. I'm going to stay away from total cute-ness and go for whatever. I'm starting to see small collections of Japanese Amigurumi in knit shops and craftbooks. hmmm... has this been a trend?

Knitted cap for infant girl. I had Kenny model it. Doesn't fit him but at least it can fit on a kid's head.

Blue Bear amigurumi

My first amigurumi!

Wow! wasn't as hard as I had expected.
So I'll make a few more in the near future.
This is a bear like character with a red scarf.
