Hello, it's Thursday!
For the last 6 weeks I've been attempting my largest crochet project ever - Marigold the Flower Dragon. I think at this point I have to consider her a fibre sculpture instead of an amigurumi! She was more like a puzzle than sculpture. She's a massive fairy dragon, made entirely from yarn, with just a little bit of wire to make her dragonfly wings. She's enormous, she's beautiful, she's made up of over 600 pieces!
I hope you enjoy watching me build her :)

For anyone looking for the pattern for the dragon, I did make a video on it! You can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t_vIGxuz3g8.html

@quantumsquid4314 Год назад

Wow! I'm new to this channel and I really apprecieate that you decided to make a pattern for this!

@karacolclough3106 Год назад

I love everything about this video

@paperbark3754 Год назад

well done in making that effort. I wasn't sure you would be willing to after allllllll that work on Marigold!

How successful is money making with patterns is making a video for free and getting paid for views more successful or is making a paid pattern?❤

@neelaylutchmoodoo5166 5 месяцев назад

Hi, this is amazing! Is there any video showing us how to make the scales please?

@justherbirdy Год назад

When I grow up and become a Proper Crocheter, I want to be able to create things even just half as gorgeous as Marigold is. The colours, the scales, the expression on her face, the attention to detail - incredible. Thank you for letting us see her come to life!

@user-wh5fj6pj6m Год назад

You could try now!

@ChiseledDiamond Год назад

Just do it now!

@dragolia1603 Год назад

Just keep practicing and one day you’ll be able to crochet your own marigold!

@poogissploogis 2 месяца назад

And the pose too! It's one thing to do a nice design, but to give the animal such a fluid motion to its pose is a whole 'nother skill!

@Viled_Venom 2 года назад

I totally agree with it being a sculpture instead of just an amigurumi! It seems your whole soul was tossed around with this one, but the outcome was amazing and she’ll most definitely sit proudly on a shelf. I’m glad you shared your experience and hope this week will treat you well☺️

@ComplicatedKnots 2 года назад

Have a good week Mr Jam!

@Kayla-vx5bm 2 года назад

Shes gorgeous!!! The amount of time you put into this is incredible! I love seeing how you make your projects, it gives me inspiration!

@ComplicatedKnots 2 года назад

I'm glad you like her! :)

@chantaleperron 2 года назад

I have no word to express how Beautiful your piece of Art is!!! The expression of her face, her wings and "flower -tail" are so unique and amazing! And, I agree with you about are important was to keep the place for her baby...I think it brings it to another level when designers make their pieces in movement or placed in a situation......Congratulations for this Lady Dragon! She is surely one of yours most achieved amigurumis 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

@rainingdragons6310 2 года назад

She is amazing!! I can't imagine making all the scales, but the result is unbelievable! 😍😍😍 I'm also more than happy to see more pattern-less mind-blowing projects/design walk-throughs! How many (sewing) stitches did you use to attach a scale? Like, how thoroughly are the scales sewn on?

@ComplicatedKnots 2 года назад

At minimum, 2, one in each "corner" so they can hinge for proper movement. But some are sewn the whole way around!

Im homeschooled and am currently in bad autistic burn out to the point i cant do normal school work so im useing crochet as math english and grammar all in one! Thank you for providing me school work😂❤

@1983SpringBonnie 7 месяцев назад

Hey I hope you start to feel better soon (if you don't already!) Being autistic, I know burnout is just terrible. Crochet is definitely a helper when it comes to burnout haha

@Eco_Hiko 3 месяца назад

Wow. Im so inspired to make something complicated with loads of pieces

@michelleochinero1813 Год назад

Amazing. This was a fascinating process to watch. Pattern or not I'm so glad I was able to see all the steps you took to make this beautiful piece of fiber art.

@aknotstalecrochet 3 месяца назад

She is absolutely beautiful, friend! Thank you for all your hard work! Even if we don't get some of your patterns, you have every right to keep them to yourself, and I for one, enjoy watching anyway. It's miraculous to see your beautiful artwork come together. 😊

@aknotstalecrochet 3 месяца назад

She is 💯 an elegant, regal majesty 👑

@katelarouche2835 6 месяцев назад

I've learned so many techniques from you, thank you so much for your generosity.

@mariakristinahawl1640 Год назад

You are a true fiber artist. Wowwwww.

@clairefuzipeg1983 Год назад

This is why I do all my crochet in as few pieces as possible. I really don't like sewing up afterwards so I just do the scales included.

@robynw6307 Год назад

She is stunning. And you are an artiste.

@Just1Nora Год назад

She is absolutely gorgeous and the level of skill and attention to detail are phenomenal! Her babies are so cute too!

@jerseydevll Год назад

She is so gorgeous! And while I am sad I will never have one exactly like her, It makes her beauty all the more stunning!!

@amara560 2 года назад

She is breathtakingly gorgeous! What a feat. I am stunned and in love. This was so interesting to watch.

@bethrobarts2314 Год назад

She is GORGEOUS ❤

@darlanoetzelmann4181 2 года назад

I really enjoy your artwork and style of making these gorgeous dragons. With my illness sometimes hard for to read a pattern so sometimes I just go by diagrams are better for me. Even free style crocheting i enjoy doing but if any one ask how i make something is hard for me write down on paper. I can try and tell people what i used.

@fuzzymelon1261 Год назад

that is so cool. i definately dont have the willpower to make something that complicated and detailed

@janellptacek 4 месяца назад

Only $25 worth of materials is crazy! Amazing work 😮

@allisonfink8883 Год назад

I get what you mean with the sculpting thing. I am crap at keeping stitch count and my projects come out much better once I figure out what the pattern is trying to do vs just following instructions. Marigold came out beautiful and something like this has made it onto my crochet bucket list :)

@Yokopalu Год назад

This is stunning. I can understand how the word Fiber artist came to be. this is literally art

@lavenderrainbow5041 2 года назад

Wow Wow Wooooooow!!!!!!!!!! You never cease to blow our minds to mush! Marigold is *STUNNING* to say the least! You've put your heart & soul into her xxx

@anafermin3648 Год назад

Thank you for all the beautiful design that you shared with all of us that are in love with crochet. Im going to send pics of what I will make from your channel, I promise. I had learned a lot from you, just wanted to said it, please keep your hard and beautiful work, because it’s a blessing.

@faithsoulpyre1684 6 месяцев назад

I love her and I absolutely cannot wait for your YEAR OF THE DRAGON - every dragon you make makes me *heart-eyes* at them.

@beadedwindsocks 2 года назад

Your dragon took a lot of work and time to create. She is beautiful and an inspiration. The details were especially well done? Just amazing.

@mathi3933 Год назад

Your videography, editing and narration are so entertaining! I often find it hard to be patient for a huge project like this - but I'm not tempted to skip ahead at all with this one!

@lizaapgar2394 2 года назад

Its absolutely amazing!! And i totally feel that "no written pattern" because it really takes the fun away from a project!

@kitwickliff 2 года назад

She is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! So much time and love went into her. She very much shows it. Thank you for sharing her with everyone!

@Ailorn 9 месяцев назад

This is beautiful. i love seeing her in the background. She is a work of love.

@aliceinwonderbruh6433 11 месяцев назад

Faulty smokes that is one beautiful dragon! When I get further along in being good at designing patterns, I'd love to do something as amazing as you make Pleas keep on inspiring me❤❤❤

@swarangi5654 2 года назад

This is absolutely insane! Your dragon is so pretty and detailed. I can't even imagine how much work that was with all of those different pieces!

@sammieqt_ 2 года назад

I remember seeing this on Reddit when you posted the progress picture & the final product of Marigold! I really love the way you did this piece; I have only ever really worked with patterns in crochet and have always had a "I need to make this a readable pattern" if I was to make something on my own from scratch. I feel like I would enjoy building a piece like this! Thank you for sharing your process :)

@productochaos6304 Год назад

You are such an underrated artist!!!

@vernahill2841 Год назад

@dalebaughman5830 Год назад

Talent with more to spare. She's absolutely stunning.❤

@kathrynmetcalf1374 Год назад

THIS is an absolute work of love. And art.

@VeroFrijole 2 года назад

She is stunning!! Her wings are so cool and the scales and colors and face…. She’s just awesome. Great work! :)

@JayofallTrades Год назад

Marigold is so beautiful. I love her. My aunt used to crochet me quilt blocks but i never got into it. Crochet takes patience and good hands. You have real dedication with all those scales. I really love the wings as you can pose them being on wire. They are light and unique. They don't flop over like most would without the wire support.

@nadinefranklin2309 2 года назад

Wonderful piece of work. Have a great time off and can't wait to see more videos of your creations.

@juliejay5436 Год назад

ADORABLE!

@kellyroper4066 Год назад

@sprite1784 Год назад

seeing your process in such detail is worth more than a pattern! She's perfect

@merlemiddleton6703 Год назад

OMG! Your dragon is incredible. Your imagination is unbelievable. You are fantastic, you give lessons and make big bucks. I just can’t believe your dragon so unbelievable. More I need more, I love getting mesmerized.❤️

@ATREIDESDUNCAN88 Год назад

Wow. You are an artist. An inspiration. Love how you creators have stretched something so simple as crochet.

@sockerplinga 2 года назад

So gorgeous! You have done such a great job designing and making her!

@zarac2107 2 года назад

Marigold is absolutely beautiful, I love her so much!! The construction of her was really interesting to see, you are so clever! How long did the total crochet and construction take you? THIS VIDEO DESERVES SO MANY MORE VIEWS AND LIKES! I totally agree that this pattern is not one to be shared, as it is special to you, and yours only! It is totally fair , as you made this for stress relief! You are so so talented at designing and crocheting! 😍🧶😁🤩🥳🐉 Xx

@ComplicatedKnots 2 года назад

I worked on her over about 6 weeks? It wasn't full time though. By far the longest part was the scales :)

@sharonhemus1540 2 года назад

@xXEmoGirlXx1996 2 года назад

@ComplicatedKnots 2 года назад

@yez_i_am 2 года назад

Darn I wanted to save this pattern for a fun time, but I completely Understand why you didn’t. Free handing without worry of a pattern unlocks the most AMAZING creations. You can get the angle and shape you need with wild methods and that’s so liberating and exciting!! Ahhh Great work and Thank You for sharing the video of the process

@rhiannonraggi2182 Год назад

After I realized each scale was its own piece I was suddenly VERY concerned. You absolute madlad.

@simplyarden4190 Год назад

I'm so amazed and transfixed! New life goals.

@elliemaze.asmoix Год назад

@susandaniels9733 Год назад

Wow that's amazing... I've never tried a project that large.. she turned out so well.

@HildeTheOkayish Год назад

I absolutely love this piece. she looks so beautiful! I first saw her in the background of your 1, 10, 100 hour owl video (also really good by the way) and was blown away. really inspiring

@SussySays Год назад

I also love the illusion of progress! This is legitimately amazing! Great work!

@Ayame471989 2 года назад

She is very beautiful. But omg so much sewing! I wouldn't have done this. You must be a patience monster. :D

@lavenderwolfbound5886 2 года назад

I might do something similar to her (as in just a statue) with one of my favorite characters from the Wings of fire books. I may wait to do it after my giant one is done and after I finish the redesigns of all my dragon modles.

@angelicasanchez5485 Год назад

Oh my God! You are amazing, creating this gorgeous animals. Congratulations.

@a.surfer7095 Год назад

I'm watching you because it inspires me to play more when I'm doing crochet - and less following a recipe. I've got a whatzit flat piece that I've done because of this idea so seeing your beautiful works just helps the desire grow. Never feel bad for giving us tools to create instead of just patterns.

@BlahLab Год назад

"This is all just math sculpting" is exactly right! I've never been able to articulate it that concisely

@FeefooTV 2 года назад

@speedwagon55 2 года назад

She is beautiful, amazing work! 600 pieces!!! I can't even bring myself to sew on more than 5 so I can't imagine trying to attempt anything on this scale, pun intended. You can really see all the work you put into her.
