Lady creature

Description

Little Lady Creature holds her little handbag and wears her pink sweater – all ready to go out and explore the world. She has doubts about it; maybe it would be better staying in.

Lady Creature was made using a unique combination of materials and techniques. Her body, hands, and tail are made out of upcycled old socks. Her sweater is made out of old socks as well, and it has two tiny pockets and two buttons. It can be taken off too.

The crocheted vest collar is embellished with a small piece of vintage lace ribbon.
The same lace ribbon is also used as Lady Creature's headband, and pieces of it are stitched on the back of her ears.
This ribbon is at least 70 years old; it belonged to my grandmother, and I received it as a special gift from her a few years ago.

Lady Creature's head was crocheted using cotton threads, and her facial features are embroidered.

She stands 10cm/4" tall; including her tail, she is 16cm/6.4" long.
