Of Bunnies and Hens
Recently, I’ve been crocheting a few gifts, and I decided to get a little creative. Instead of using different colored yarns, I experimented with fabric paint to bring my amigurumi to life. I was really happy with the results and thought I’d share my experience. A coworker sadly lost her adorable pet rabbit, and I wanted do something special for her. I already had a crochet pattern for a rabbit , but this time I decided to sculpt the face with a needle and thread. The outcome was a much cuter and more realistic look than last time. Here is a picture of the rabbit unpainted: I lightly painted the rabbit, giving it a soft watercolor look. The photo doesn't quite capture how nice the greys with a touch of brown looks in real life. I hope it brought her a little comfort during a tough time. Later, a family member requested a crocheted hen for their birthday. I found an adorable pattern called “Flora the Hen” from an Etsy shop called Airali. The pattern was well written, tho...
