Raver Cthulhu!
Raver Cthulhu! Now, Raver Cthulhu came about because of some odd stuff. First thing is that I was making dog bone toys for the puppy:
Well, I made a green bone on Saturday morning, but wasn't thrilled with the colour for a dog toy, something just wasn't quite right. So I decided to give it a face, thought that might help. This lead Scott(my husband) and I to a discussion about arms/legs. So I made some arms, put on some toes and gave it antenna. I didn't like it, so I flipped it around and thought, 'Ah ha! I can make a cat out of it this way!" and proceeded to put a face on THAT side. No dice. Still not happy. So after ripping all the facial stitches out on both sides I decide to go with the "monster/alien side" of the project and put some tentacles on for a mouth. Gave it eyes and had a pink belt around the join in the bone. Scott made a crack that the pink belt was great and I needed obnoxiously coloured bracelets and my alien would be ready for a rave! So, me being me, I took it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far. I made a glowstick for it. Then I thought to myself, if I had tentacles, I'd TOTALLY be raving the night away with a glow stick in each one! I mean, it was only logical. So more embroidery floss glowsticks were crocheted. Then I didn't like the belt thing, so I made it into a tube top after stitching "UNCE" on it in lime green. I'm sure you can figure out the UNCE joke, if not see this comic:
Then I thought she'd need glow necklaces, I mean obviously! And arm bands, too! Then a skirt, because, well she likes to party, but she's not that kinda monster! ;) And TA-DA! Here is Raver Cthulu:
glowsticks!
This is the first thing I ever really 'winged' stuff for, so even though it's awfully silly looking, I'm kind of proud of myself for thinking outside the pattern. :) Let me know what you think of Slad and Vitter's cousin Cthulhu!
