Kurt Cobain - Sock Monkey style

[Dorkariffic]

This is Kurt Cobain:


This is Kurt Cobain as a Sock Monkey:



I used a pair of Kodiak Boot Socks for him, as well as yellow yarn and blue embroidery thread. ALL of the stitching is done by me by hand, both on him and his clothes, and I've never done embroidery (or, for that matter, made a sock monkey) before. His guitar is a printout of one of the actual Kurt's guitars, which was then glued to manilla paper and cut out.

I'd like to sell this sock monkey. Would anyone want to give him a good home? (I'll even include a poster.)

Ok, so I had a friend who thought he looked like Kurt Cobain, but your monkey looks so much more like him!     Great job!  He really rocks!
