The post Crocheter Makes Adorable Miniature Figurines appeared first on TettyBetty.
]]>The self-taught crafter first started crocheting in 2019, but only in 2021 got really into it. She began making amigurumis: miniature figurines; designing them and creating her patterns, doing commissions only for friends and family. But thanks to her husband’s support, Yuen got the courage to start her small business.
Scrolling through her cute Instagram account, you can find animal and food figurines, little dolls inspired by movies and cartoons, people, and more. The crafter explained on her social media that she needs one hour to 12 hours to complete each toy, depending on the complexity.
Because of the pain in her wrist, Yuen decided she would crochet every other day. Meanwhile, on the days in between, she draws new designs, does admin stuff, finances, marketing, and socials.

]]>“My view of vitiligo seems to me to be very different from the general, I think it is necessary first that you have vitiligo, after this acceptance you choose what you want to do,” Stanganelli told Bored Panda. “I still quote Benjamin Disraeli: ‘Life is too short to be small.’”
He made his first doll for his granddaughter, so she could have something to always remember him by. Recently, he began making other inclusive dolls, like a doll in a wheelchair. His goal is to help children feel ‘normal’.
If you are interested to see Stanganelli’s dolls, have a look at his Instagram or Facebook pages.

]]>From vinyl record players to clock radios, tea kettles to outdated recipes, Smith can transform nearly anything into lifelike wool sculptures. He learned the craft as a child and has been practicing ever since, a lifelong hobby that he describes as his source of relaxation.
. . . #crochetersofinstagram #crochet #astronaut #moonlanding #50yearson“My mother taught me to crochet when I was a child. I think I was probably eight years old and I enjoyed it straight away,” Smith said in an interview with the website MollieMakes.
When it comes to deciding what to crochet, Smith finds inspiration from vintage recipe books and dusty magazines from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, as well as the types of appliances that surrounded him during his childhood.
Speaking of the era during which he grew up, Smith told ABC News, “It’s the period I grew up in, the period of lime green kitchens and bright orange appliances, something that I’m familiar with, something I’ve always had an interest in.”
The pieces take Smith around 15-30 hours to create and he’s currently exhibiting them throughout Australia.
Check out his incredible crochet work on his Instagram below.

]]>“As a teenager, I learned how to crochet from my mom, Takako Yamashiro,” she told the Urban Outfitters blog. “Once I figured out that crochet could be so much more than scarfs and baby blankets, the possibilities were endless. I have been consistently crocheting since then, making costumes, bikinis, soft sculpture, wall hangings, pillows, giant portraits based on the Cathy comics…”

See you at 6pm.Now she shares her finished products (unique, playful, and always laid back) with her thousands of followers. Her creations aren’t meant to be perfectly crafted. In fact, they’re meant to be un-perfect, and that’s just the way she likes them.
“Crochet is so versatile and I want to use this medium in new ways,” she explained. “With so much being produced by machine, ‘perfection’ is no longer interesting to me. I used to strive for the ability and skill to be able to produce physically what I envisioned mentally. But now, the changes that occur in the translation from the imagination to material, feel exciting and human. I see what is lost or misinterpreted in translation as the interesting and unique part of the magic that is created when something is made by hand.”

]]>Her crochet has covered buildings, sculptures, and people, exhibiting in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Turkey, France, Italy, Poland, and Costa Rica.
Currently based in New York City, the Polish artist in an avid supporter
women’s rights, equality, and freedom of expression.
In 2009, she stated: “I think crochet, the way I create it, is a metaphor for the complexity and interconnectedness of our body and its systems and psychology. The connections are stronger as one fabric as opposed to separate strands, but, if you cut one, the whole thing will fall apart. Relationships are complex and greatly vary situation to situation. They are developmental journeys of growth, and transformation. Time passes, great distances are surpassed and the fabric which individuals are composed of compiles and unravels simultaneously.”
