Creating little beasts...

WEE ANGEL

Hello, wee guardian angel!

ARTISTAS CON CORAZÓN

Artistas con Corazón is back! This year I'll participate with 2 of my monsters that are on their way to Santander as I write this post.

Hope the exhibition will be as successful as last year as all the money raised will go to cancer research.

ÍÑIGO AND HIS MONSTER

... it was love at first sight.

Íñigo designed the monster (on a paper napkin) and I made it especially for him. I believed he liked his wee monster as he didn't let go of him for the entire evening. He named him Floppy.

So here they are, the two cheeky monsters posing for the camera: Íñigo and Floppy.

MY MONSTERS FEATURED IN "STUFFED" MAGAZINE

The second issue of Stuffed, a magazine entirely dedicated to softies which is about to hit the shelves, features three of my monsters. I'm so proud to see my little creatures in the magazine. Hope this is just the beginning...

Here they are!

BRUNO HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

Bruno was adopted yesterday and is now on his way to Missouri, USA.

Hope he'll have a safe journey and that he'll like his new home.

OLÉ, ¡VIVA ESPAÑA!

Olé was born in Spain. He's passionate about flamenco and loves tortilla, you can tell by his belly!

He was made using wool fabric, cotton, trimmings and vintage buttons.

He's available in my etsy shop.

ONE

This is One. One was born in Spain, but he moved to Milan, Italy, where he's found a new home!

MiniMANU

This is for my friend Manu. She lives in France now and last time I spoke to her she sounded like she needed some comfort. Hope this wee monster will cheer her up.

FAME!

My monster has become famous...
