Stuffy Love -- Dinosaur 2

I've been in crochet overload. I swear I'm starting to get carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists. This probably means I should cease but I find my hands itching to do something when I stop. The click of my bones reminds me of the rhythmic sound of knitting. Yep, I think it's time to take up another craft.

This dinosaur was my first commission! Tres exciting, non?

Here he is in pieces:

I'm still working on getting levels right in Photoshop!

And here's the finished product:

It's actually good that someone ordered him before I made him or I think we might have another stuffed animal cluttering our living room! I'm pretty happy with his awesomeness. I have decided to put these guys as made to order in my Etsy shop, so I can do custom skin, scales, tattoos and sweaters.

I am slowly starting to take on real work again which maybe means a little less crochet. It will probably be good for both my wrists and my bank account! While it is excellent to get commissioned to make these, it amounts to about $5.00 an hour. A true labour of love I suppose.

Happy Crafting!
