Description
THESE MONSTER ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ON MY SHOP FOR ONE WEEK. LISTINGS ARE BEING TAKEN OFF AT MIDNIGHT ON 10/29.After that, if theyre not sold, they'll be shipped off to San Francisco!
The monstropi are a highly evolved form of the octopus. In addition to being swimmers, they can also walk on land whenever they choose. In fact, they almost always choose land. They love to climb trees, and will go from limb to limb, using their long tentacles to grab and swing. Monstropi are easy to spot, even at night, because they almost always come in unusual colors that make them stand out against their background. Many animals are so taken back and confused by these creatures that most predators just leave them alone.

Hahahahah, these have to be some of the best ones yet! Oh man, I love it. So lemme axe for a second, if I may..do you only make monstAr plushies, or do you ever expand into making characters from shows or anything like that? Would that be violating copyrights if you made profit from them, then? Damn, cuz you could make some awesome characters. Even Cap'n Jack Sparrow.

I try not to really 'cause it's like taking other peoples ideas & making money off them, which I dont think is fair. The only thing I've ever done like that was make totoro earrings.

Fair enough. 
I mean, if [link] made one, you could make a better one. Oh well, here's to wishful thinking on my part. ^ ^;
Anyhow, keep up the awexomery.

Aww. I love the white one especially! And the eyes are very cool.
Again, nice description (although I think you've used it for your other Monstropi's, right?)...and the names are fantastic.

thank you!! i was afraid the blue one was just gonna flop over because his horns were way too big. But he's just fine.

Do you mind if i try to make one? i wouldn't sell it or give it to anyone, it would just be for me, and it seems like a fun project.

of course not! as long as you give me credit if you post it somewhere.

They are lovely!
I was wondering, where do you get fur like that? How much does it cost? Do you order them online or in a store?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I order them online mostly. I've found some good stuff at Joanns stores, but not much. I use either mendels.com or distinctivefabric.com Distinctive Fabric is cheaper but they only let you buy by the yard, mendels lets you buy by the half yard but theyre prob $5-6 more expensive. Ebay has some good stuff too theyre just wayyy slower with shipping.

Ooooh nice!
I was wondering where to get some felt too... I found some at a cheap dollar store, but they don't have black!! And it's hard to get white!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ummmm, Joanns/Michaels/AC Moore have felt. distinctivefabric.com has felt by the yard. Walmart actually has felt too but not in very many colors. & I sometimes use this etsy shop: [link] to get felt by the yard because its the cheapest

Oooh nice!
Oh but almost all the stores you told me are in USA, and I am in canada... so, or the shipping cost is high, or they don't ship outside USA at all
I gotta find some near montreal then hehe.
But thx a lot for the info!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oohh. well ebay & etsy work. If its from the U.S. it shouldnt be that much unless theyre shipping priority. that doesnt seem fair. i ship stuff to canada all the time & the shipping price isnt very much more
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The shop on etsy isn't that much
I accidentally bought felt lol. I just wanted to see how much it would cost with shipping and all, so I went until the moment we pay but didn'T want to order it really, but I did... lol I'm gonna take it anyway XD It cost me around 6$ for half a yard of felt. I think it's okay...
And faux fur is expensive hehe... I saw some at a fabric store, but no blue or pink or great colors like that...

faux fur is ridiculously expensive. but i love it so much i cant help it. I've dropped about $45 just on two yard before. totally lame

Wow... lol
I gotta try at least one just for fun XD Is it hard to work with? Like sewing and cutting?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
