Crocheted cactus, cactus crocheté

I really do love to create amigurumi crocheted cactuses. This is very inspirational work, I don´t follow any pattern, that´s why all my amigurumi cactuses have this special touch. They can be an excellent decoration for homes and also for decorating the places with not enough daylight but where you would like to place some flowers. For the first time I aslo made crocheted cactus with tiny flower.

 

 I also made one "red hot" cactus, I like it very much.

  

J´aime bien faire les cactus - une grande source d'inspiration. Je ne suis pas aucun modèle, donc, chaque cactus crocheté a son valeur unique. Ils peuvent être une excellente décoration pour la maison et pour décorer les lieux avec peu de lumière, mais où vous souhaitez placer des fleurs. Pour la première fois j'ai fait le cactus avec une petite fleur. 

J´ai fait aussi le cactus "red hot":)
