Here come the Zpiderdzigh!

This blog name is zpiderdzigh, how could I never made a spider?
Continuing the "Gigi" series, I made the spider have some sharp tooth.
Of course you never saw the real spider teeth,
If you did, it must be the last thing you saw in this world.

What's the Gigi series, you asked?
I haven't found a better name for my "amigurumi with teeth"-series, so for now, lets called them as the Gigi series.
Gigi is "teeth" in Bahasa Indonesia.
as in the last post, there will be more of the gigi series :D

Komodo the Komodo Dragon

Since I'm making a post about Indonesian animal, here is my komodo-amigurumi.
Komodo is the largest living lizard, which are naturally living at Komodo island in Indonesia.
I made this komodo because that's the least thing I can do to support komodo to become one of the new 7 wonder (nature category).
Well, they said it would be better if I give vote to support the komodo at the new7wonder site,
BUT, shame on me, I can't make it.
I did go to the site but somehow I don't know how to vote it :(
I could just ask anybody else about it, but then I think it would be better (and forgivable) if I could get more people to vote on the komodo too.
So if you find this komodo amigurumi is cute or even if you don't think this komodo is cute at all and you just care about the komodo, please vote for the komodo.
anyway, you don't have to be Indonesian to vote on the Komodo ;)

I must admit I had a problem choosing the komodo's colors.
I'm so confuse, are they green or brown?
Please don't let the color stop you on giving vote on komodos.

I had troubles getting natural background because of the rainy season and I'm not a photoshopper so I manipulated all the pictures in this post.
So please don't praise me for the beautiful background of the picture, the credits belong to the great National Geography's photographers.

Harimau Sumatera (Sumatran Tiger)

It's 2010 and it's a it's a Tiger Year (based on Chinese zodiac)
I'm not Chinese, but I celebrate the new year by making Tiger amigurumi.
and since I'm Indonesian, I made the sketch based on the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae).
The smallest yet special species of Tigers who are living at the largest island in Indonesia.
Gong Xi Fa Chai
May this tiger year become a prosperous year for all of us!

Boo the Humpty Dumpty Boy

I've posted this picture last month, but I haven't posted the story, right?
This is Boo, a Humpty Dumpty
....
No, Boo is a Boy, a common boy.
Boo is the main character from my latest animation:
Boo& Bey's Ways To Save The World
the animation was an entry for CGS' Multimedia Contest

Well since it is a knitting blog, let's talking bout the Boo-gurumi.
I made it in a few days, from the last week of November till the first of December.
I made it of course to promote my animation, just in case there I need some vote :D
Well I didn't win, I never used Boo-gurumi to get some votes, but no regrets.
Made Boo-gurumi as similar as Boo in the animation is quite an achievement for me.

Mr Tooth Froggy

I don't know about winter, summer, spring or autum, my favorite season is the rainy season.
I love umbrella, I love the rain, and I love frogs!
I love their song, and I love how they are boosting up their "ribbit" energy to call the rain :D

I have made 2 frog amigurumis before, both are based on someone else pattern.
The giant frog was actually my very first amigurumi I ever made. See, this is the only time I ever use gigantic yarn for amigurumi. The pattern was from here. The picture below is officially his first picture. You could see the second frog here.

For my third frog, I made him by my own version.
The Grinning Frog, or I love to call him Mr Tooth Froggy.
I accidentally get this idea when making sketch of my self for mini me
... OOPS NO! I'm not a frog!


Somehow, instead of using yarn, I wanted to make the teeth by "real teeth".
I failed of course, because no body voluntary give their teeth.
So I made the teeth by clay.
It took a lot of time, from asking my cousin cause I know nothing about clay, waiting for the weekend to buy the clay, and finally learning to make the teeth.
I'm not good at waiting, but I really love the result, the perfect white teeth, soon I'll make another amigurumi like this.
Just wait, hopefully I still have some time to make amigurumi after the crazy daily work at the studio.... Hu hu hu... T-T

Mini Me

So there's a forum in Live Journal called "We Love Amigurumi".
You could've guess by its name, it is a forum for amigurumi lover.
There is an activity called "amigurumi-along" which means making amigurumi based on the themes. And this January's theme are seasons or mini me.

I pick the mini me, because I think it is a perfect theme for a new month in a new year, since all I'm thinking this January is me, myself and I.
why? Because when I am making my new years resolutions, I must considerate and think about myself, right?

Well, this mini me is only represent about 30% of my real me.
First, mini me is just about 7cm while me a lot taller.
I don't have the right yarn color for my skin tone, mine is a lot darker than mini me's skin tone.
I always wear glasses. I tried to make glasses for mini me, but failed :(

But.. But... But....


Both me and mini me had bangs! YAY! (errr... actually there's nothing to be proud of)
Me and mini me love pink clothes and white shoes.

Me and mini me love to sleep almost everywhere, but prefer to daydreaming than having a real dream at siesta time :D
But of course, don't you ever wake us up, you won't know what kind of monsters we'll become.



I want to have a bulldog someday... for now, mini me got a mini bulldog. The bulldog is a phone strap I bought in Vietnam made by leather, cute right?
