Curious monkey

October 15, 2011 · By ·

What is that brown little thing in front of Kyle?

Some say he looks kinda familiar

Is it George, Curious George?

Not Curious George…

He is just a curious bespectacled monkey riding a trike.

 

Made this monkey on a tricycle specially for my brother-in-law to be birthday, who owns a t-shirt of a monkey that looks very much like this little guy. This monkey with his tricycle was tough to make, especially when it came to his mouth and his tiny hands. Didn't occur to me that he would end up looking a little like Curious George though…

    Was looking at curious george pictures and realise that his mouth looks quite different from this monkey. But I think the overall colour and shape is similar

    I love the cute little monkey. Wow, did it take long to do this?
    .-= June´s last blog ..Kids love to learn, so how do we help to grow that love? =-.

    I think I took about 6 hours in all..I am usually doing something else when sewing so cannot really keep track.

    Wow your monkey looks great! You sure have some niffy hands there. Is it made of felt?

    Thanks Susan. The monkey is fully made of felt, so is the tricycle.

    Wow, I really like this cute little monkey!! Ever thought of setting up shop to sell little crafts like this that you make?
    .-= Ruth´s last blog ..We Got Our Tolalu Products… Here’s Your Chance to Get Some Too! =-.

    Yeah Ruth I thought about it. But I realise that it is very hard to cover costs or labour hours with local handmade prices. Generally Singaporeans are not willing to pay for the premium of handmade craft, so in the end it is really not worth my time or effort to sell them. A handmade softie like that will cost like 60+ USD on etsy, but no one will pay that sort of prices locally. So I rather focus on making them for gifts or for my own enjoyment and not have the added stress of thinking how to price it so that people will buy.
