Description
Say hello to Calcifer, the fire demon, from "Howl's Moving Castle"! I have him about to bite into a piece of wood. Nom nomnom!!Calcifer character is (c) to his author, Diana Wynn Jones and "Howl's Moving Castle" (c) to Disney Studios and Studio Ghibli Productions
I created this project for the dA Knitters Club '“Let’s Go to The Movies Contest” [link]
I fell in love with this movie and, thanks to my children, I watch it nearly every day!
He measures about 13ins. by 14 ins. He was worked with single, double, triple chain crochet. He has only a few felt and fleece embellishments.

Just noticed this before heading to sleep, absolutely adorable heheh. I love it dear, I can imagine the amount of work you put into this. The fraying at the tips and mouth add a wonderful feel to it, though it seems kinda shocked in appearance. Sadly never seen Howl's moving castle, might have to pick it up.

I still cant believe the detail in the texture . The way that the fringes convey his sort of flickering, and the blending of the colors into a flame. I think its amazing.
More importatly, hes so damn cute! . The way hes holding the wood actually made me laugh, and who could not love the face
. The pictures were a nice touch. Not having seen the movie yet myself, seeing him in the second one for me more conveyed his smile
.
<3
your work is amazing, dont ever stop

Those hands came to me in a flash. I was going to make them out of felt but then I puzzled out a form for them.
Thank so much for noticing!
