The Pink Face – Tongue Out Monster
More simple faces, more tongue! Though I gave into mouthpiece-ear-limb temptations. And then there’s the plaid, rescued from a Cape Cod skirt, to go with the pink bathrobe that has gone into the tongue.

The Blank Stare Doll – Blue Face/Pink Tongue
Time for some minimalist dolls. Two eyes, one tongue, and a blank stare. No eyebrows, no nostrils, my favorite facial components are benched for this week while I play around with ultrasimple monsters.

The Red Winter Monster
This is one of my first dolls ever, my first monster. He’s from Mairead’s clothes, a red hoodie, a green-pink t-shirt, and some green sweater from Uncle Karl. Very red, very bouncy, a permanent resident of Pittsburgh.

How to Make A Monster
I’ve completed my online tutorial of How to Make a Monster — the pattern and instructions are still available for purchase as a PDF booklet at Etsy here — but this online tutorial goes through the instructions with step by step illustrations.
The resultant monster: 10 inches tall, big mouth, a little squat, very embracable. I made him in white fur, so he’s quite a soft little thing, but you can use the pattern with any sturdy, flexible material and come out with quite bizarre results.
Ready to monster? The instructions are here.

The Big Teeth, Big Heart Monster
He is another reconfigured veteran — one of the first monsters I ever made, given some recent adjustments and surgery — most importantly a brand new red heart on his purple belly. He is friends with Harry Potter, he likes his Coonskin cap, and he’s studying Hungarian.

The Skull and Crossbones Little Monsters
I love this little guy — manufactured May-November, Belfast-Pittsburgh, from a skull and crossbones cap in QFT’s lost and found. He is happy or bemused, and has a little pirate/goth atmosphere to him. Just look at his back! His front is a little less threatening if you feel uneasy.
He’s up for sale on Etsy, here.
