Monkey and Me

Last year our doll club, the Cloth-a-Dollics, had a challenge to make a doll based on a character in a book.  I chose "Monkey and Me" by Emily Gravett, a delightful children's book that is full of sweet illustrations.  I was quite pleased with my dolls as they evoke a sense of abandon and joy.

My first doll made using Akira Blunt technique.  Monkey is my own design.

My second dolly with her monkey tucked in her shirt-what fun!

The award winning children's book that inspired my two dolls.

A final look at the poor monkey. I think he wants to rest!
