Description

EDIT:  OMG!  This got a Daily Deviation!!!!  Holey cows!  Would never have thought these guys would get this kind of notice!  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the kind person(s?) who suggested it!!!!

~*~


So the mermaid lady (the one who asked me for commissions in the first place) asked me if I would be willing to do another request....


..after asking me if I did food (I sent her a link to my Happy Food section), she sent me a picture of her tattoo (top left of the picture) and asked if I could make them.  She also requested the carrot have glasses.


Totally curious how this couple came about, she explained that they represented her and her husband.  The veggies came about after she had given him a card with a carrot and a pea on it.  (Wish I could've seen what it said...)  The weapons represented their love of horror movies.


The veggies were not a problem at all.  In fact, I even found the perfect carrot pattern online!


The weapons, however presented several issues.  At first I was going to make them from other stuff but my curiosity got the better of me and I Googled "butcher knife" and "chainsaw".  Man was I surprised!!!  All the horror icon dolls that are out there, though it shouldn't have been a surprise, just astounded me!


The knife took several tries (the first one eventually went to the Chucky doll):


After studying more pictures of real and crochet knifes, I eventually b.s.-ed a version that I was happy with.


The chainsaw took me about 2 weeks to problem solve.  I did all the other stuff, including the glasses and the 3rd Mermaid and Minnie girl, before I tackled the chainsaw.  I think I was scared...I had no idea how to begin this one.  I did Google chainsaws but most were made life size.  The only one that came close was attached to an Ash doll.  I studied that pattern and eventually came up with my own. I attached Velcro to both and called it good.


The lady loved them and seemed especially excited about how I used the chain for the the blade.  She couldn't wait the month to her anniversary, so she gave them to her husband that night.  She wrote me to say that he loved them and played with the chainsaw for a few minutes, making "Vroom vroom" sounds.  Totally awesome!  


People had asked me "what the heck...?" when they saw the weapons and I told them they were a Zombie fighting team.  Later I asked the lady what they were and she said they were veggie slasher villains.   


Anyways, I am pleased this worked...and am now thinking of making more food again. 


I really need to get back to my cross stitch and drawing stuff....

The story behind this commission is absolutely adorable. That lady and her husband sound like a fun couple. Also, the little guys are adorable!

Thanks!  I love making the food guys and these ones especially - they were a good challenge.  And I love the story too, especially the Voom voom part!

Yeah, the part where the husband was playing with the chainsaw and making "vroom vroom!" noises was adorable.

Those are . . . very weird. But given what the request was it turned out awesome! I'm especially impressed by the chainsaw

Yes, weird, but cute.  As much as a brain fry as they gave me, there was something very satisfying about having finished them and in such a way as their commissioner was super happy.  Granted, if El starts wanting weapons with her Happy Foods, then I may have to reconsider any accessories requests in the future....

That probably won't happen for a while . . . teenage years at least. Then she can make her own

If I can get her past making just the chain then maybe weapons will be in the future.... are there any weapons that can be simulated by a crochet chain?

A flail maybe?
