Nonavee’s Creatures

I have created unicorns with wings (this was the 5th and least weird iteration), and one fantail bird (intended as Kohanga Reo education toys) bunnies and so on. These were difficult and I found in the end that sea creatures - dolphins, whales, and reptiles were best represented by the knit texture. Other animals were not! (Well the fantail was pretty cool.)

Turtles - a lot of planning. But turtles are the most special.

Shell had to be planning on a graphics program and knitted in one piece. Can be pulled off like a jumper.

This is Chi, and the prototype, Isodora.

But first, there was the plesiosaurus. Some of these ancient water dinosaurs that actually existed once on the Earth looked like Nessie, the mythical Scottish lake creature. The elasmosaurus, and the tuarangisaurus (even in the region of New Zealand!) as featured in the series, narrated by David Attenborough, Prehistoric Planet, look like we imagine Nessie to be like.

As a child, I would have loved imagining riding on this creature’s back as she swam through the water 💦 as a friend - never mind that she would have eaten me in real life!

This is imagination land….

Early work for my daughter, Troy.

Troy wanted the orca to have full predator capabilities! The orca is hollow inside, so can eat seals (I made 3), as they are its prey item. Educational!

Did you know orcas are a type of dolphin?
