Well peeps! I've had my first crochet commission. A lady who bought one of my pokemon figures at the Christmas market emailed me to ask if I could crochet a turtle from a drawing her son did. Apparently this turtle, called Barry, has been figuring hugely in stories and adventures invented by her son and she really wanted to surprise him with 'Barry made flesh' as it were.
This is the picture she sent. The description was - his body is green and his shell is brown.
Hmmmm.
Luckily there have been a few different turtle-type creatures in Pixar movies and so on, so there were a few patterns out there in web-land to customise.
Heeeeere's Barry!
What do you think?
Once again, features and shell details were needle-felted on, which means you can get much more control over the expression on his face - the most important bit.
The nice lady was happy, and I hope Barry's creator is happy too come Christmas day.
Happy Christmas everyone!
