I've never been so excited about one of my crafty makes. Introducing .....
my crocheted baby Groot
Thank you to Twinkie Chan for the free pattern, I had so much fun making him! For those you not familiar with Groot, he is a character in the film 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.
I found a nice purple pot to put him in but it had a label stapled to the side which didn't look like it would come off nicely, so I decided to make a label in CraftArtist to cover it up. I found a great picture of a fully grown Groot on syfy.com for the front of the label, and for the plant care instructions on the back I used Wingdings font.
The bottom of the pot is filled mostly with hessian (I have a HUGE roll of it), with decorative garden pebbles (washed!) and some fake moss to finish off.
He looks like he grew out of there :)
He has a pipe cleaner inside the arms so they are bendable
I used another one to keep him upright in the pot, but I might end up glueing him in.
He looks quite at home on my windowsill.
I would like to enter my Groot in the following challenges:-
Dream Valley Challenges #247 Embellish it
