Sock Monkey with a twist: Mlle. La Raie

The latest sock monkey in the 'range' is, in fact, not a monkey at all. She was made at the behest of a friend of my daughter who said 'Can you make me a Sock Monkey like hers, but not a monkey....more of a doll sort of thing....'

This is the result: Mlle. La Raie who is a kind of hybrid since she has no muzzle, different ears, no tail and also has hair. She is very stylish. Stripes are very 'in' this season in Paris (she says) and so she is 'a la mode' as always. As you can see she has had a lock of her hair dyed 'pistache' and tied it with a little violet ribbon. She's quite the coquette, je pense.

Any'rue'up, this is the result of playing around with stuff and I'm actually quite pleased with her, though it has to be said that someone said recently that my sock monkeys are beginning to look more and more like JuJu dolls and, taking an objective look at Mlle. La Raie, I am tempted to agree.

Ça ne fait rien.
