For the holidays this year, I had no idea what to get most of my friends. I started trying to make an owl for the one I did have an idea for, but placed the eyes too low and messed up adding the beak, so I had a little ball with eyes and really no idea what to do with it. Until she saw it and thought it was thoroughly creepy.
So I left it alone to creep.
And made it a bunch of friends.
Each friend got a creeper with a vague idea of what it was. The brown was still more or less an owl. White was a marshmallow. Green was a marimo moss ball. And blue and grey and red.
Personally, I think the red was my favorite. It was Red Heart in cherry red with 12mm eyes. Most had 9mm, the grey one had 6mm eyes. But there was just something about how the red and the black eyes worked together that made me really like it. Unfortunately, it's the one I don't have a picture of. Hopefully in the future!
They're easy to make, fit really easily in the palm and if stuffed enough, make great stress balls. They bounce, they lurk, they watch, waiting for the best time to pop up and remind people they exist. They're creepers, plain and simple.
Again, worked in rounds much like the cthulhu plush, starting at 6 st and going no more than 30 before tapering off again.
