a few people have expressed alarm when i show them my monkeys. it seems that the general consensus is that if it is a sock monkey it should be a red heel sock monkey. hmmm, to a large degree i understand the thought process but i just do not agree. red heel monkeys are fabulous and iconic, however my monkeys represent originality, individuality and creativity. i do hope to one day adopt a red heel sock monkey, however i find that often the breed is watered down, in poor shape and lacks true craftsmanship.
above & below: traditional red heel sock monkeys, as far as the breed goes i think that these two are fine examples of what they should look like.

This monkey, wearing a fez, also does not freak me out. I would like to become friends with him, and maybe make some bananananana bread for us to share.
