I make a lot of toys from kid’s drawings which I sell through my Etsy site. I’ve run out of image space on my page there so I decided to showcase them here too so that all the wonderful young artists’ creations can be viewed. It’s extremely fulfilling working with these artworks.
RAINBOW UNICORN
This is a very colourful unicorn that was made for one of my younger artists. It was an interesting piece to make due to all the various colour combinations and variations.
TURTLE CAT
This little turtle reminded me of a cat wearing a turtle shell. The turtle shell is made up of various overlapping crochet circles and half-circles.
SPACEMAN
The little boy who drew this is very talented. It was great fun to make this spaceman and the artist loved the result.
ELEPHANT
This lovely elephant was sent all the way from the USA. The little boy’s Mum had been carrying the drawing around for so long that it had lost its tail, so we had to make sure we made him a new one.
SPIDER MAN
This was the first Spider Man drawing I received. The little boy has a keen eye for detail.
JOE’S RAVEN
This is Joe’s wonderful raven. His Nan told me that he loves it and keeps it very close.
ALICE
Alice was a Mother’s Day present. The little girl who drew her was only 6 at the time, and very talented.
PRINCESS
This colourful princess accompanies the gallant steed in the photo below. She looks very happy!
GALLANT STEED
This gallant steed accompanied the princess in the photo above. The children’s Mum asked me if I would explain the making process to them, so I put together a document for them as I went along showing them the various steps in crocheting their creations.
THREE CHILDREN
The children drew this one as a gift for their Nana. Another delightful drawing to work with.
TURTLE
This turtle was a gift to her turtle-made Dad from the little girl for Father’s Day. Isn’t it a lovely thing?
DADDY
One of our youngest artists here. Only 3 years old and she made this drawing of her Daddy for Father’s Day. Delightful.
SUPER DAD
This little boy drew his dad as a super hero. I photographed the toy before I added in some of the grey hair though 😉
BETH’S SPIDER MAN
This is Beth’s Spider Man. She was very chuffed with it and her Dad sent me this photo and another with her holding it with a lovely big smile 🙂
CHEETAH
This fierce cheetah was drawn by another of our younger artists. The four year old was going to give the toy to her Dad for Christmas.
NANA
This is the second of two toys that Santa asked me to make to go to one household. I wasn’t sure if the locket said Nana or Nona, so we just made it an N to be on the safe side.
TWO PRINCESSES
These lovely ladies went all the way to France as presents for their respective young artists.
