Amigurumi Eeyore handmade by Etsy Shop Owner Heart of the Healer

"Amigurumi" is a Japanese art of crochet where you make animals. The Japanese are master knitters, designing the armor for Samauri, which is intertwined with silks and iron plates and wood. The earliest amigurumi objects were fruit and recorded in the 17th century. Have you seen the cute Pokemon? There's such a mass collection of talented free form artists, but there is a lot of time put into each stuffed animal figure. HOURS. (My kitten right now is playing with her amigurumi oreo as we speak, something I made a long time ago ^ . ^ ) My latest project: Eeyore. I can't remember how many hours went into it -at least 6 hours. Request a custom order, just comment below or visit my shop . Please like my facebook page.

Trade Post #1

Here is a picture of my most recent trade: my leg warmers & moon head band for a custom made labradorite thumb ring (plus she surprised me with a labradorite pendant and gemstones! Insta-Love ). I couldn't help myself and promised a few more trades: a crystal choker, a black floral top, a burgundy cardigan, a tan crop top, and a black maxi skirt. I own a lot of the clothes I've had for a really really long time and I'm really trying to consciously build a wardrobe of essentials and items that fit me well, are in good condition, and compliment my vibes.  "Out with the old, in with the new." My friend Spliffany, who introduced me to the Gypsy Exchange messaged me. I also find that both parties are happier with trades than with money, because my work is worth a lot to me but also some things mean a lot to others. The beauty of trades is the people genuinely want what I have created.
