Craft

Made of stuffed socks and everyday materialsâÂÂoften the cast off threads, buttons and bows from a sewing projectâÂÂeach sock monkey springs from its makerâÂÂs imagination. From Ron WarrenâÂÂs massive collection of over 2,000 of these playful creatures, Arne SvensonâÂÂs photographs have captured the distinct personalities in each of these colorful, lovable, button-eyed, grinning faces. Whether wistful or cheeky, we find ourselves inventing stories to suit each character. Some are dressed for a night on the town, others for a day on the farm! These charming creations bring out the child in all of us.
