Mik - mini crochet bear

I've purchased new for me yarn, so was eager to try it. And I was thinking about present for one of my friend, so... Mik have come to world.

The red fish on the picture of bears at play

This little fish I crocheted a few years ago. Still love it soo deeply!

Bears at play contest.

I decided to join this contest which looks like very interest to me.I like all the pictures which I've saw already. So, why don't try my best as well?
Here is the picture I've put onto contest

And here you can see the same picture along with my fingers which show you the real size of each critter and stuff on the picture. Tiny-mini, in fact!

Owl

This time I created owl. It was one more challenge for me, as from the begin I can't imagine where and how to begin! Every time I have show the process to my husband, he skeptically grinned and asked - and where is... So I have to add more and more details. He left to work, but when he back I proudly showed him the result. Do you know what he did then? He took her on his hand and made her fly! Isnt' it the best compliments?

Little Giraffe born

Have you ever try to create a giraffe? If so, you know that it's not so easy, because it has some special details which consider it as real giraffe. One of my friend ask me to crochet for her giraffe a while ago. I do love challenges so I agreed and begin to think how to do it? After a few months I decided that the time is now. So, please, meet the Little Giraffe. He still hasn't the name as I decided this time that his future owner have to name him. So, just a Giraffe for a while.
I crocheted him from 3 colors of cotton thread, then painted spots with acrylic.

Here you can see the real size of Giraffe

He likes play on the grass
He loves to dream...

He dreams about faraway countries... like this one
He plans to go to the country with such palm trees to live in ... So he can play there
And he also likes to show how he's cute in my hand

Hope you like my lil Giraffe

Spring Swap puppy Leonardo

This year I decided to take part in Spring Challenge at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/threadanimals/threadanimals.yahoo.com/group/threadanimals/threadanimals · Bears and Animals from Thread and Fibers at yahoo groups. I missed the signing date and asking if I can to join anywhay. In answer I have got two letter from two sweet persons which kindly agreed to become my swap partners apart of the general challenge. I created fluffy puppy for the first one - my sweet neighbor Heather. His name is Leonardo and he holds beautiful spring flower - tulip for Heather. He's 7cm tall and 9 cm long. Hope you like him!

First post

Hello to everyone!

My name is Antonina, I'm a big fan of mini and micro objects creation. I use to create mini thread animals of all sorts. Some of them might be not really small, as time from time I use to normal make toy size animals or dolls for my daughter or just for fun. Each of my work is unique as I like challenges in materials and forms. You can see some of my critters in my Blog. Hope you'll like them.
I live in Canada, but originally I'm from Ukraine (ex-USSR, so my native language is Russian).
