Today's entry into "weird stuff I make with my son," here's my crochet interpretation of his "Airacuda," a sharp-toothed, poison-tailed flying beast with scaly wings and four red eyes. 🧶

A fun thing about this fantasy creatures collab with my 9yo son is that it challenges me to figure out crochet solutions for new shapes. Like this Airacuda ("like barracuda, but in the air") required a new body and neck design, a modification to my usual paw foot, and now I gotta make the wings 🤔

My 8yo son is his Mama's boy and is very into creating fantasy worlds, so we decided to team up: he makes fantasy world maps, and I crochet the creatures who live in his magical lands. This is our first collaboration, which he has named the Sandstalker!

A long-time customer dug up an old IG post of some eyes I'd made and asked if I could do it again, so I said I'd try - and they came out even better! Might have to add these to the permanent lineup.

Decided to break in the new account by going back to the beginning. Here are my first amis from spring 2021! 👶🏼 I started crocheting then as a way of keeping my hands busy on those pandemic evenings. I had a full-time job, a 4yo, a baby, and a lot of anxiety! 🧶
January 2021: My first "stuffie"... A ball. Description: a cream, brown-flecked crochet sphere held in a white woman's palm. February 2021: First finished amigurumi, a stegosaurus. Description: An orange crochet stegosaurus with red back plates against a gray background. May 2021: A baby blanket for my stepsister's little girl. Description: A white baby blanket made of crochet bobble stitches, with lamb legs and head, folder over the railing of a white crib. A small crochet raven (black wings and body, gray beak) in a green hood. It is Kiri, a kenku character from Critical Role, Campaign 2 (a D&D/TTRPG live play show).

In the interest of moving off some platforms and building a presence on others, I decided to create a separate account for my fantasy crochet stuff 🦄🧶 So hi! I'm Bex, my lil' biz is called Bextraordinary Creatures, and I enjoy designing & making mixed-media beasties!
