.sock.monsters.continued.

More sock monsters in the making, here we have a octopus which took forever to make because it has so many legs, and also a strange creature that I called a zumble-boo because it has wings, but stripes also.

.MONKEY.

...and my latest of the sock monster clan...Marvin the monkey.

this one took a day to make then I started on an octopuss and with everything being hand sewn it's taking it's toll with it's eight legs :) Below is the monkey in all it's glory.

.Creative.News.Updates.

I have recently started my Doodle a Day mini sketch book and have been posting each image on my website http://www.wix.com/bex_eden/bex-eden-illustration check it out! I am always updating it, adding pages and putting up new images.

Also I have decided to start making sock monsters..as I had some 'pair less' socks that looked a bit lonely and too pretty too throw away so I gave them a new life :) below is 'Freddy' the first monster to be created, As soon as I get my hands on some more stuffing I will make some more :)

.Being.Festive.

Being creative can be difficult sometimes, especially when you try to be creative everyday so today I took a break and made some fragrant tree ornaments for Christmas. They smell gorgeous and are simple to make so try it yourself!

What you will need.

- 1 orange/tangerine/clementine (the smaller the better)

- whole cloves

- cinnamon sticks

What to do.

If the oranges have no stalks, use a needle to thread some cotton/string through parts of the skin to make the hanger, but before you tie the end off also thread it through a small bit of cinnamon stick, tie it off now.

Next stick the whole cloves in to the orange by pushing them through the skin they should stay there by themselves.

Then hang on the tree!

The should last about a week sometimes just over depending on how fresh the oranges are.

They smell gorgeous and add a festive touch to your x-mas tree.
