Cat Amigurumi

So instead of crocheting girl amigurumis, this time I decided to make cat amigurumi!

This is the view from the front:

Making cat amigurumi was very easy.  I didn’t even bother crocheting ears for them!  All I did was crochet a sack-like head, stuffed it, and sewed up the tops of their heads into that particular shape.  The ends of it just twist up like that so making ears was not something I had to worry about.  Besides, from past experience, making huge ears for cats just never turns out the way I want it to.  They always end up looking really scary.  They become cat-bats!  Making the ears smaller is what really makes it look cuter, in my opinion.  Sometimes it’s just best not to make your amigurumi look too much like the real thing.  Sometimes it’s just better to simplify them so that they don’t look so scary…or just plain ugly!

And this is the view from the back:

The pink plush heart was sewn by my daughter.  She cut the heart shape out of felt, stuffed it with regular stuffing, and sewed it shut.  Easy!

As for the tails on my cat amigurumi, I just stuffed in a bendable wire so that I could get that signature cat look with the whole curling tail thing.  When you look at a cat, they never move unnecessarily.  The only thing that moves as they’re sitting is their tails.  A little unsettling to see but hey, that’s what makes them smart…looking?

Hope you liked my cat amigurumi!

Dressy Girl Amigurumi

It’s time for my last post on human amigurumi–dressy girl amigurumi!  There’s two!

dressy-girl-amigurumi-8

This time I was going for the formal look and this is how it turned out!

And here are the side views:

The polka dotted portion of her dress is actually a ribbon.  I sewed it together with chiffon trimming and came up with this dress.  Her pendant was something that I happened to find lying around the house again, so I decided to use it here.  Just the dress by itself was not impactful enough so the pendant came in real handy!  Now she looks like one fancy, dressy girl amigurumi.  Wonder where she’s going?  One ridiculously expensive and high-end restaurant?!

The hair was the really fun part in making this girl amigurumi.  The lighting in this picture really captured what I had in mind as I was crocheting her.  I wanted the somewhat dark and mysterious look for her.  Yes, no one can fathom what really goes on in her mind…she’s untouchable…yeah, I like that :D .  But anyway, before I get carried away with my weird ideas, let’s move on to the next dressy girl amigurumi!

dressy-girl-amigurumi-15

Somehow she looks ready to break into a paso doble any second!  Haha or not~

I can never stress enough just how useful those decorative adhesive gems were in making all my amigurumi.  I still have a whole bunch too.  I’m thinking of using the rest of it to make one very shiny and sparkly……….never mind can’t think of anything.  What would you cover with sparkly gemstones?

And here we have the two dressy girl amigurumi together!

I think out of all my girl amigurumi, I like these two the best.  Even though they don’t have a lot of embellishments on them the simplicity of their dresses is what I really like.  In the end, simple is best!

Bejeweled Girl Amigurumi

Anyone want to see a bejeweled girl amigurumi?  I do!  And here it is!

bejeweled-girl-amigurumi-1

This one took a very long time to decorate since I had to glue on every jewel strand onto her hat, her dress, and the ends of her skirt.  It took lots of patience, but it still came out nicely right?  :)

bejeweled-girl-amigurumi-4

For some reason when I look at her, I think she looks like a very fancy and decked out cowgirl.

bejeweled-girl-amigurumi-2

And then I start to think maybe I should have given her a small pistol to pose with!

bejeweled-girl-amigurumi-5

Look at her eyeing those pearls!  Our bejeweled girl amigurumi does love her jewels etc.  If I gave her a pistol then she’d start looking like a cowgirl thief!  That would have been fun to look at.  Too bad I forgot about my little phone charm pistol…it would have worked out nicely too!  I’m almost tempted to take another picture….

bejeweled-girl-amigurumi-6

Don’t worry, she’s not that bad of a person.  She loves jewelry but she knows not to steal it!  It’s so funny how at a certain angle, her face can look so scary and yet at another, (like the one above) can look so happy and harmless.  …Scary girl amigurumi indeed.

bejeweled-girl-amigurumi-3

And here is her closeup!  All nice and happy.  The dress came out better than I expected.  I didn’t think that the strands of jewels would stick on in such a nice curve but it did!

But of course I couldn’t forget that brilliant idea that flashed through my brain in the middle of this post…  This girl is a crazy one I tell you.  You’ll never know what kind of commotion she’ll be stirring up out of the middle of nowhere.  She looks happy and harmless but who knows what really goes on in that head of hers…  Look at that sinister smile…and pistol!!

No…don’t worry, my bejeweled girl amigurumi is actually an undercover sheriff!
