Description This is Andy. He's a Sock Monster, I don't know what else to call him or what species of monster he is exactly. My parents weren't much help either at thinking up a spiffy new name. He looks like a bunch of striped socks sewed together. The base of this artwork is 12'' X 12 1/2'', and he's 10'' at the head, I don't know exactly how long his tail is if it was stretched out...maybe a ft or 13''. He's got four tentacles on his back that come equipped with eyes.
I don't have much info about this guy except he can retract his extra eyes much like a snail and he's very flexible. He also eats strays and sickies (both animals and people), he thinks he's doing them a favor by releasing them from a miserable existence.

The old, leftover clay I used was Sculpey and some other kind of recycled clay (I don't remember the name that I had to make moist in order to mold it) that came in small square packages bought at a yard sale and was in different colors. The extra eyes came from an old Christmas ornament, while the puppy was from some tacky gewgaw that got busted. Β The wire scaffolding consists of old coat hangers and copper electrical wiring.Β

Speaking of socks, I have lots that are missing one of the pairs.

That's why I buy bundles. Except I still lose them. But at least that way I have about forty other pairs for the same sock.

Haha, fun. I buy only one kind of sock so that i never have mismatches. Always the same brand, shape, size, texture... ect.

Thank you. I was kind of doing a cross between a sea snake and one of those Hopi clown.
