coloring book animals, now with monkey

[ptarmic wumpus]

I need to sew down my stash of fulled sweaters, and for inspiration I am using a wacky coloring book from the early 60s. So far I only have made two, one from the cover, the other from the letter "T":





I tried to wire his tail, but I don't think it was very successful.

The cover animal is a sort of psycho bunny:




And here is the coloring book:

Most of the cover animals are not actually in the book, although the tiger is. I think I might make the Yak next.

eta: I made the monkey from the cover instead.  (Yak is still on the list, though)

monkey under construction:


and finished:


i used a dowel to stuff his tail, which is 4 feet (~1.3 m) long.

ok, those little goobers just rock!!!  I love how you made his tail! 

[Little Brass Bird]

  I love them so much you totally captured them completely!! Also since the cover doesn't show the tiger's tail (and because is so cute) I think it works perfectly!!

these are fantastic, and the psycho bunny's hilarious attaching all the stripes must have been time consuming - but so worth it!

Nice! And what a cool place to find inspiration.

These really capture the look of the book!
I'm really hoping you'll do the bird next.

[FoxyBlue]

Wow...you've got serious skill!!! These are amazing!!

[pinokeeo]

Wow, these are great.  You totally rocked them for sure.  Nice work.

[PinkChick]

They are wonderful! I can't wait to see what you make next! That really is a clever idea!

Yea, the tiger is mine, mine, mine (I claimed him in the Shop the Swap swap)! I promise I'll give him a good home, ptarmic.

Any plans for the monkey? I'd claim him in hot minute!
