Here's a sock monkey like Grandma used to make! Well, not exactly like Grandma's, this one is anatomically correct! He's make from traditional brown Rockford Red Heel Socks, which are made right here in the USA, and filled with stuffing also made here. He's assembled with a needle and thread, and is about 18" - 22" tall, depending on what's available from my suppliers. Not an import, he's actually made by hand by me, in my smoke-free home. Features will vary slightly, as they are all made by hand. I also dress sock monkeys, and my stock changes constantly. There's a Scottsman, with or without the "package" under his kilt., a pirate (G rated), a mermaid, Steampunk dude (with or without package), and others that come and go at my whim.I am also open to custom work, if you have an idea in mind. Just contact me. for info. Check my listings, they will change often.

You can call me old fashioned and I don't mind. But I love the traditional sock monkey. When I was 5 years old my mother made me my first sock monkey. It was Christmas morning and I remember opening it up dressed up in pink, with a cute bow on...

Confession: I hoard socks. I would love to wear them. I fully believe it is an art therapist's right and duty to be a tad eccentric and wearing wild socks would really work for me in that respect. However, I can not/do not/will not wear any of the completely fun, hilarious, downright radical socks in my collection, because I intend to make things or help others make things out of every last one of them. A part of me thinks I should buy two pair of everything, but that's another story... Gretchen the Group Leader Sock Monster 2009 I have a thing for making monkeys and monsters and when I was under twelve, I also made dolls out of socks. One can also make all sorts of sock animals. Let your imagination run wild. There's just something about transforming one thing into something else that feels so darn right to me. Untitled Donation Sock Monkey 2009 I have also done this with clients in the past: making stuffed sock animal gifts and hiding gratuitous wishes and dreams on slips of paper in the stuffing. (Hint: this is a great thing to do with someone who doesn't do well following through on tasks, because it's different, fun and requires more than a single session). Dame Shirley Fonteyn de Arias Sock Monster 2008 I was talking with a fellow therapist about my love of monster-making and my curiosity regarding what it would be like to make a problem or illness into a small monster of clay or socks and she commented on the power of language with even the suckiest of problems. For example, one might say, "I am IN a depression," and it implies a lack of control and rings of being lost, while, "I HAVE depression," gives one power over it in a sense. Yes, I have this "thing" (this monster if you will), but I HAVE it, so I can put it in a box, shove it in my pocket or I can take it out and examine it when I want. I am in charge. I'm not lost in it. I own it. Plus, I think there is something about making your problems, no matter how massive they are, that makes them feel more controllable or provides another way of looking at them. Archibald MacGroober Sock Monster Dogish Thing 2008 Here are some of my creations. I like to make them, write about them and sell them should the opportunity arise. Examples with stories follow... Owen Titus MacGregor Sock Monkey 2009 Owen loves Camel cigs, cheap beer and hot she-monkeys. He loves to rock out with his buddies all night, play poker and drink tequila shots whenever he gets the chance. He's looking for a home where he can live out his life in the rockstar lifestyle he has always longed for. He prefers to sleep tucked in beside blonds, but any sexy momma will do. Owen is child safe and loves kids, but may be a poor influence on your teens. Amy Argyle Sock Monkey 2009 Amy's off to college at She Monkey University, a private school for she-monkeys, where she will be studying liberal arts. She is the last monkey you would expect to find at a kegger doing body shots or jumping on the furniture at some frat house. Amy loves broccoli, bagels and brie (although not all together), reading nineteenth century French literature and playing Beethoven sonatas. Amy is a vinyassa yoga champion and has practiced ashtanga with the the best. For more information on making sock monkeys go here: http://www.craftbits.com/project/sock-monkey I recommend this book on monsters: Stupid Sock Creatures This book has some good information on making sock animals: Stray Sock Sewing Sock Dolls: Sock Doll Workshop (I haven't seen this one myself, but it has high ratings.)
