Last week I got a request for a small monkey. I do have sketches of monkeys. I actually have a collection of stuff/ plush monkeys. I knew I would have to make the ears lower down the sides. Unfortunately I did not have enough brown to make a small sized hat. So I had to first hunt down some brown fleece. That took a couple days, a few phone calls and a long drive.
My first attempt I tried to keep the ears sewn with the crown part of the hat. And after the decision of making the back of the ears dark brown instead of a completely light brown ear I made something that did not quite look like a monkey. Which will now become know as Rye.

The second one required some extra cuts and measurements to ensure better placement of the ears. Now I will have to work on some larger ones so that they will fit the mannequin heads.
