Hello everyone, my name is Tink! I’m another of Camilla’s creations. I really like jewelry and other pretty things. My necklace and bows make me feel wonderfully amazing! The bells in my tummy make me very magical, and I make jingly noises when I flitter about.

Gluf is Born
Gluf is another creature inspired by the “Stupid Sock Creature” book. Camilla created him last week. She learned to use the sewing machine to sew the long seams on the arms. The rest of him is hand sewn. He has four arms, three eyes, and a wacky hairdo made from toe socks. He insisted on a hat made from leftover sock fabric.The green pillow behind him is one I made about 30 years ago when I was about Camilla age.

Tinta & Chiqui
We've made more sock creatures. Camilla made Chiqui. She is made from chihuahua socks turned inside out.
Tinta is made from an experiment gone weird involving Sharpies, rubbing alcohol, and instructions for tie-dying socks. I didn't wear the resulting socks much, but they were perfect for a creature.
Camilla put a heart in with Chiqui's stuffing, and cut out a heart for my creature also. But I forgot to add the heart in before I sewed her up. Tinta now wears her heart proudly on her outside.

Dinah & Dino
Hi! My name is Dino. I’m the blue one on the right. Camilla made me, because Mom brought home a book called “Stupid Sock Creatures” by John Murphy from a garage sale this weekend. The green one is Dinah. She’s my best friend. Mom made her. I have a tail, but Dinah doesn’t. We’re modeled after Wronky, but look nothing like him. There are no patterns in the book, just instructions to eyeball everything. That makes each of us a little different, just like God made creatures.Camilla did most of the sewing on me herself with just a little help. Mom sewed our arms on the sewing machine, because there were a lot of layers to sew through, and she wanted to make sure they stayed on well. Then Camilla and Mom got a little tired of all the hand sewing, and Mom used the sewing machine a bit more on both of us.
Camilla says she had lots of fun making me, and might make a pet for us.
