Monstress Crochet

I conjure monsters 🧶 and reblog cool crafts made by others

Etsy used to be a good way to find crochet patterns designed by crafters and artists and a (flawed) way to support these artists.

I used to be able to find great crochet patterns, I've bought patterns before to even use as parts in my own unique crochet projects.

AI generated crochet patterns are ruining this. Some sellers have around 500 sales, totally around £2000 worth of sales per account.

The reviews are bad but despite the photos being obviously AI, the reviewers don't seem to realise that the reason the patterns are faulty is because they're AI generated.

A grandma left a review for a Sonic amigurumi bundle saying she was planning to make all of them for her grandsons birthday, but the pattern is all wrong.

Crochet is such a great art form and this AI generated crap that was all over Pinterest is now all over Etsy. I have reported some of these sellers. I haven't censored the seller account names because shame on them. For ripping people off and taking money away from real crochet designers.

How I Customized My Crochet Doll Base into Love Cell

One of my favorite things about designing crochet doll base patterns is seeing how easily they can be transformed into different characters. For this project, I customized my doll base into Love Cell from one of my favorite K-dramas, Yumi’s Cells. I was inspired to crochet this character because I absolutely loved the animated cells in the show. Their unique personalities and adorable designs…

Fat Horse No. 22

It’s the year of the horse and I’ve always been a horse girl at heart, so I’m finally taking advantage of the excuse to fill the world with fat little horses! These felted friends are about the size (and shape!) of an apple, and if you happen to have any apples to share I’m sure they’d help you out! I initially thought of this one as Epona, but wasn’t sure I got her quite the right color. Most of her appearances have been more reddish overall, but several people did recognize her so I guess the spirit is there! She’s taking a break from running all over Hyrule for you.

This piece is SOLD but I’m already hard at work on a herd of new ones for Furrydelphia, August 7-9th!

WHAAAAAAAAAA??!!! WAWAAAWA

WAWAWAAAAAAAAA

i apologize, i was so overwhelmed by your incredible craftsmanship that i reverted from standard back to my native language of wawa.

This is a fascinating and fantastical piece of art.

[vulcartist]

Thank you so much!!

Omg I forgot the best part: i changed the design to actually say things in vulcan calligraphy lol

after i made my wooden doll, i was musing about what other unusual materials i might use for a bjd. my partner suggested paper, and also gave me access to their craft paper collection -> i made this.

she is almost entirely made of paper & cardboard. the joints are wooden beads & worbla, because i did figure out a way to make ball joints out of paper, but it really was not worth the effort. all her limbs have tubes of rolled-up cardboard in them to keep the structure sturdy, and the origami flowers are glued around those.

this is extremely different from any doll i've made before, and i had so much fun working with pretty papers & figuring out how to turn them into a poseable 3d object.

McCalls Pikachu Plush 2512 Sewing Pattern

This thing has been out of print for like, 26 years and some of us want to make chubby classic pikachu so uh... I figure it's okay to share bc it's kinda hard to get your hands on the remaining physical copies.

Bonus points: Aelith made some embroidery/applique files for it too

This is FREE, please don't pay for the pattern.

Only the EMBROIDERY is paid.

Here's the cover for the Legends & Lattes graphic novel adaptation that my friend Shanti and I have been making over the last year! I'm super excited that this was just announced by the publishers, and should be available to cozy up with this fall. :)

Process below - it was really fun to collaborate with another cartoonist and pass the work back and forth. Our process for the comic pages was pretty similar.

They’re out of the kiln and I made a couple cups too 👀 🐙

I just had to collect all of these responses together in one place

Edit: And one from my friend, who doesn't have a tumblr (yet)

#i keep waiting for someone to address the '18th century looms were huge' claim#like sure some were#but the fact that textile mills had been invented doesn't mean that all home weaving ceased#indeed people still weave for fun or profit in this the 21st century#smaller looms were still being built and used in the 18th century just as smaller looms are still being built and used today#and that's without considering the existence of inkle/tape/band looms which were/are used for making narrower woven ribbons for trimming etc#small 18th century looms absolutely exist

there are thousands of notes and a few people ABSOLUTELY addressed this xD

[twistedmaiden]

I wanna add mine! But it still has some assembling to do before I can move on to the next step

My wife did a lot of hand crafts while we were dating. After we got engaged, my father piped up that at least she didn't have a spinning wheel. We put it in the doorway the first time my parents came to visit.

Her loom is packed away at the moment so she can work on an uncountable number of knitting projects and metalwork at the moment.

What the heck! As of this reblog, this comic has 21 notes. Apparently a little reblog chain happened, but I don’t really remember noticing. Much higher numbers than my usual 0 or 1. My first taste of success, and I totally missed it!

[nopizzaaftermidnight]

honestly, if I had a comic take off I wouldn’t mind this one. I still like the joke.

As the story goes, a woman was distraught that she didn't get into the college of her dreams. In a fit of sorrow and adhd, she spent 3 sleepless days crocheting this.

But lo! A twist! The woman's fears were misplaced, for she did get into her dream college. Her dream college in Ireland. For obvious reasons, she could not bring her hulking creation with her across the pond, so she gifted it to her local game store, Nowhere's Store of Forgotten Lore, in Springfield Missouri. Legend says it can still be found there to this day, available for sale, waiting for his trainer to arrive.
