Brain Slug from Futurama

Today I want to show you another Futurama related amigurumi that I made long long time ago and that I almost forgot about. Do you remember brain slugs? There was an episode in which these parasites sticked to human heads to control their thoughts and actions.

This slug was one of my first amigurumi. It was really fun and easy to make 

I have the intention of sewing it to a headband, it's a perfect last minute Halloween costume  idea!

You can find the pattern for this mini slug and for a bigger one in Hook and Needles

I hope you like it!!

Nibbler

I always found Nibbler adorable. He is Leela's alien pet in Futurama. For those who doesn't know him:

 Long time ago I saw this pattern. I loved it but I wanted to do a smaller version. My friend Silvia helped me adapting the pattern to make it smaller. I also improvised with the cape and the diaper. And here's the result.

He's so cute!  

Chibi dolls

Chibi  is a japanese word to describe a short person, a kid or a childish caricature version of a character. For instance, take this image of the characters of Sailor Moon in their "normal" design and in their Chibi one:

 


I have already shown you my chibi versions of Sailor Moon and the Harry Potter characters in amigurumi. I love to make chibi characters to use as a  brooch or keychain. I'm planning to make lots of these since they are fun and easy to make. Any suggestions or ideas of whose chibi I should make?


This week I have two new to show you, Princess Leia and Dr Zoidberg.

The simple design of the princess is perfect for this type of dolls:

Zoidberg  is a commission for my friend Judith, who asked me for one of these ages ago (sorry!)

I'm really proud of his face tentacles and crazy look   ^^

PD: In Spanish I named this type of dolls as "Chibi-moñacos",  as a reference of the original name of my blog. "Moñacos" is used as an endearing alternative term for "muñecos" (which means dolls) so moñacos would be something like "dollies", more or less. 

I hope you liked my chibi moñacos and that you let me now which other characters you'd like to see as one of these!
