I kinda wish that not all my Lovecraft knowledge was secondhand

[soc_puppet]

...Well, I did it.




TinyThulhu, who I made first, because I couldn't find the larger-sized green yarn that I used to make my Objection Gloves; used the original Mutant Mitten yarn instead, but had to dig up a crazy small hook to work with it.



TeenyThulhu, because once I'd finished Tiny, I actually managed to find the yarn I'd originally wanted -_-a



Both together, for comparison's sake. Size-wise, TeenyThulhu (the larger of the two) is about the size of a ping-pong ball, not counting the face tentacles. TinyThulhu is about the size of a marble, maybe slightly larger than the ones that you could get out of your average Ramune bottle.

And I have no real idea what I'm going to do with either of them. I mean, I'm planning to keep Tiny, if only 'cuz he was harder to make (very little experience using a size seven crochet hook here), but I'm still not sure about Teeny, and it's not exactly a what-do-I-do-with-it sort of plan, it's more of a where-does-it-go plan.

Maybe I'll make one or both of them into keychains. Or Xmas Solstice decorations. And I -have- been meaning to make/get myself a new pin cushion; Teeny could be exactly what I'm looking for. Hmmm...

Still actually debating whether to figure out how to make bat-wings to attach to either of them. Otherwise, they're reeeeaaally simple to make. No, really, I mean it.


Futurama Brain Slugs are on my list for when I find the right color yarn - which shouldn't be too hard, once I go out and look for it. Until then, the list is kinda open.

. .. . Those are really cute. ;o;

[soc_puppet]

My roommates agree, and in fact want TinyThulu for themselves ^^a Wonder how much I could sell 'em for...

[pleonasm]

I think I love you for the Brain Slugs. That's amazing.

[soc_puppet]

In all honesty, a couple someones seem to have beaten me to the punch, but that won't stop me from making them! And they will be cute and head-attachable, darnit!

[pleonasm]

SWEET. I would totally buy one. XD

[soc_puppet]

:DDD I should just make up a whole bunch and have a table of 'em at AnimeIowa this year or something. Though I'm still debating the merits of hairclip vs headband...

[pleonasm]

Maybe both? Men would probably be more likely to use a hairclip because it's less... gay. But women would prefer the convenience of a hairband!

[soc_puppet]

Both would probably work, yes... I'll have to see what I can find.

Also, you are making me deeply regret my lack of Futurama icons, so have a psuedo-Simpsons icon instead.

[pleonasm]

VETINARI~~~~ ♥

I have a ton of Futurama icons and nearly all of them are quote icons. XD Great quotes in that show.

[soc_puppet]

Yeah, I was all like, HEY, he's doing the Mr Burns thing! And so I made an icon ¦Db

It is quite excellently quoteable, yes :3b ...Speaking of, I think I hear my roommates watching it in the den :O *wanders off to join them (and maybe crochet more)*

I'd go for a hair clip personally. You can snap them onto any available strand of hair that way.

And you've made terror adorable with TinyThulu.

[soc_puppet]

Yeah, that's my inclination as well, though headbands are also good for if you don't have quite as much hair.

Then truly I have more than accomplished my goal ♥

[sleepfighter.livejournal.com]

...awww, adorable little ravager of worlds!

[soc_puppet]

Their cute little squishy faces fill my soul with terror ^.^ ♥

[pellucere.livejournal.com]

Oh, you should totally read Lovecraft's stories, they're great.

TeenyThulu and TinyThulu are adorable. :D (Aw who's the cutest great old one in the cosmos? you are! awww lookit the destroyer of worlds' tiny widdle tentacles!) (etc.)

Brain slugs are an excellent idea.

[soc_puppet]

Yeah, I definitely should. I just. Keep waiting to randomly stumble across them somehow, and it has yet to happen. (Well, aside from that one movie on the SciFi channel.) Obviously, I have to go out of my way and do some actual looking for it on my own.

They turned out better than I expected them to, actually ♥ Not that I'm displeased ;)

Of course, if I -do- sell them at a convention, I shall have to be careful about who I sell them to, make sure they don't die of starvation.
