Hand Painted Safety Eyes for Amigurumi

I ´ve painted safety eyes for several years now, mostly to my crochet club members, for my own creations or just because it fulfills the need to paint and work with colors. People have asked do I sell them? I´ve come so far that some of these sets of Amigurumi Gourmet Eyes are available in my Etsy Shop. I use artist´s acrylic paint and acrylic varnish, every pair is worked with great care. Hand painted amigurumi eyes will make amigurumi toys even more special and unique. These examples are 18mm, slit pupil eyes, perfect for amigurumi lizards, crocodiles, dragons, snakes, cats etc.
Hope you like them too!

Simple Tutorial for Sculpting Amigurumi Cat

Simple Amigurumi Sculpting

This Cat is made using exact same pattern: Amigurumi Cat Bianca, just a nose is embroidered and a very simple mouth sculpting is made. Simply using a yarn needle if you feel need shaping a bit...

After the nose is embroidered take some yarn in the same color, make a line and pull it together by making a knot just under the amigurumi head piece and voilà...:)

New Amigurumi Pattern - Amigrumi White Cat Design - named Bianca

New Amigurumi Cat Pattern is out now.

New Amigurumi Pattern  

I´m happy to present a new Amigurumi Cat design. Cat named Bianca is now available on my Etsy Shop

I used 2,5 mm crochet hook and Debbie Bliss Rialto DK, extrafine Merino Wool Superwash yarn, 8 ply, 2 balls. You can also use bigger crochet hook and a different yarn, your Amigurumi Cat will be just bigger. Always take one size smaller crochet hook than written on a yarn label for amigurumi toys. 

Size with 2,5 mm crochet hook would be approx. 27 cm/10,6inc. I used 12mm hand painted safety eyes with slit pupil and 12mm safety nose. If you vary colors you can use the same pattern to have different results.
