Supa' Fly's body is made with a novelty yarn that I bought while in New Orleans (I LOVE N'awlins - one of my most favorite cities in the US) about three years ago. So, I was effectively doing a little stash-busting too.
Supa' Fly taking flight:
I even embroidered a little speck of light on his eyeball to add a little "realism" (relative when it comes to my work LOL) to this one-eyed wonder:
From the side, note the sleek body style of this faux entomological gem:
From the top it almost looks like those wings could actually carry his blimp-like bod:
I plan on crocheting Supa' Fly's counterpart too...Flattened Fly! I know, I know, twisted.

You're a thoroughly evil woman. LOL. Hope you're going to edit those pics down some. It took FOREVER for them to load. If it was anybody else, I wouldn't have waited.

ReplyDeleteGot to you here via your Crochetville post---this is hysterical! I Checked out the Softies page which only seems to go up to the April theme announcement; how did you find out about the June theme (and what, exactly is it)? This is the kind of tickle I need to think more outside my usual frame.
