Hi Everysmurf!
I think I've created a monster. Look!
GNAP Smurf
I'm going to have to keep him in a separate box, away from my other Smurf dolls, or he just might...
GNAP! GNAP! Chomp!
Oh no! Too late!
What do you think? D'you like him?

Thanks very much!!!
I wasn't sure whether to make a Purple Smurf or a Black Smurf, so I used both colors and now I think he looks really creepy, like the fly's bite made him break out with Smurfpox or something. Look out Smurfs, he's contagious! GNAP!

GNAP Smurf is really cute. Who wouldn't want a cute and cuddly little angry purple Smurf? Might be a cute "get well soon" gift for someone, so the both of them could recover together.
Did you ever think of making a doll of the original "evil" black-haired Smurfette? That might be a cute idea.

Aaaaaawwwwwwww, so cute! Brainy , Papa, Hefty, the Smurflings, even the 'baddies' (Gargy and Azrael, of course), Harmony and Vanity look (brilliant mirror idea by the way) perfect but I loved mainly Grouchy , Clumsy (pure smurfy sweetness!!) , Super "Brainy-our-hero" Smurf (very nice details) and, last, but not least, the GNAP! Smurf!! As well as Smurfy and Debbie, I would cuddle him with no fear, he's so threateningly adorable...
The little nurse and Faramir look very sweet, and Samwise Gamgee plus the two Gandalves are so rich in details (eg cloaks). Congrats for your delightful works! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
-------------------- Keep on always smurfin'!!

WOW! Your smurfs are amazing and so are all your other creations! I'm going to try to save up my money and buy one, if my parents say its OK. Do you think you would be able to make Tracker?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!
YES, I could totally make Tracker!!! The feather could pose a challenge, though... I bet I could figure out how to make one. And if anyone would like to request a custom Smurfette doll, I could defiantely make a black-haired Smurfette with a not-flowery dress.
I can't make any new dolls right now - I'm on a research trip and crazy busy - but when I get back to school in a week I could start accepting new challenges. Well, maybe in a few weeks because when I get back I have to write up my research and start classes so I'll need some time for things to settle down. But, I love getting new challenges. In fact, most of the dolls in my shop were challenges!
Thanks again everysmurf! It's a really proud thing to know you guys like my dolls. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Hi Everysmurf!
Sorry I've been away so long...schoolwork's been keeping me so very busy...but look: It's Tracker Smurf!


Figuring out that feather really was tough, but I think it turned out pretty OK. What do you think of him?

Smurfy work once again, Rowena! Tracker's one of my favourites, I was disappointed that he seemed to disappear after Season 3. You did a great job with him here!

I agree Rocker Smurf, they should've kept Tracker through the rest of the show instead of having him in a couple of episodes.... :-(

Thanks so much! I'm so happy you like him! I gave him slightly longer legs and a more prominent nose to make it easier for him to hike through the woods and sniff out truffles for the Smurfs.
Tracker was such a great character, and I did enjoy his episodes. When I have more time, I really need to get back to work on my Tracker story!!!

Hi Everysmurf,
I've got some sad news.
Etsy has deactivated all my Smurf doll listings. Any new Smurfy dolls I make will just be my own private art projects and will not be available for purchase.
Thanks again for your terrific feedback. I'm very happy you like my dolls. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Hi again Everysmurf!
Etsy may have deactivated my Smurf doll listings, but I thought I'd let you guys know that I just made my own made-up Smurf doll crochet pattern available as an instant-download PDF pattern, so if any of you are interested, you can find it in the Smurfy Dolls section of my Etsy shop.
Have a smurfy day! ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
