Saint Valentine's Heart

by Mary’s Amiland, January 2016

I made a little heart so I could add it to any of my amigurumi and make the perfect gift for Saint Valentine’s Day.
It can be used also for bags or key chains, I’m sure you will find a way to use it!

RESOBOX's World Amigurumi Exhibit vol. 2: Crocheted Culture Celebration!

The exhibition goes from Dec 11, 2015 to Feb 28, 2016 in New York, and during this time ROSEBOX has organised various events to help make known amigurumi around the world!

- opening party held on 11th December 2015.
If you missed that event check out the video to see how the night went! It was definitely a bustling night and ROSEBOX gallery was filled with ‪amigurumi‬ and people alike.
I could not join the party, however thanks to the video I felt as if I were there. I could even see some of my pieces!

- every day a themed amigurumi is posted on Facebook so we can learn a bit more about the various countries that have been featured in the exhibition.
At this link you can find Italy that I have had the honour to represent with Nick Bear.



- next event is scheduled at Vogue Knitting Live! this weekend (January 15-16, 2015) where you can visit RESOBOX booth on the 6th floor. They will be showcasing ‪amigurumi‬ pieces from the World Amigurumi Exhibition as well as presenting a lecture on Sunday at 2:30 PM on "The current trend of Amigurumi in Japan."
Check out the ‪‎vklive ‬website for more details and registration!

Tino Bear The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, December 2015

Tino Bear has been on my to do list for almost a year. It was worth waiting until now as when I started designing him all was ready and his character came into life smoothly.
He is a “Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff" (from Winnie The Pooh’s song), don’t you think?

Arthur Monkey The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, November 2015


Arthur Monkey is one of the two characters I made for the Circus Design Contest held in November this year.
As soon as I came to know about the contest I started working on Arthur, his character was designed over a week end but took almost a month to finalize all the details. I have redone him many times before getting to his final version. I wanted something original but not too exotic.
I’m so proud how he performed at the contest, he did not win but came in a very good position for as much as I’m concerned.

Oscar Mouse The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, November 2015
   
Oscar Mouse has been quite a fun character to work on.
I have been in doubt till the very end whether to crochet the shoes in green. Do you know what? Green is the perfect colour for such a cool guy, don’t you think?
Love him so much and so proud he took part to the Circus Design Contest back in November this year.
After the contest I made a version in gray with blue eyes, I hope you like him :)
