Trillipa



Trillipa is related to Gralk. They inherited their jumpsuits from their great great grandmother. Trillipa is more mature than Gralk and more suited for older children - button eyes and all.Trillipa would also be a good stocking stuffer. 8" tall, Trillipa is recommended for children three years of age and up.

Gralk


Gralk is not as grumpy as he looks. His Charlie Brown like mouth is a result of complicated genetics. His mother was a smiley monster while his father was a frowny monster. Gralk is proud to share the same colors as Christmas time and hopes to find himself snuggling in a comfy sock that is hanging from a mantle - somewhere. Doesn't matter. Just as long as he feels loved.Gralk is 8" tall and is not as confused as he looks. He is all handsewn.

Linnea

Linnea
Linnea is a lovable, huggable monster. She is definitely not scary making her the disappointment of her family. But she doesn't care. She is her own monster and she just doesn't like to scare people. Standing at 6" tall, Linnea has button eyes. I would give her to a child that has stopped eating his or her toys. She is not safe for babies especially those who like to explore the world with his/her mouth.

Blossom

DSC02175
Blossom is a late bloomer. Although she does communicate with her hands, she isn't quite using words yet. I imagine speech will come with time and patience. I am confident in her ability to learn. She likes to be read to. Her favorite book is The Snowman. I think it's because the story is told with pictures and not words. Blossom is 6" and completely handsewn with no removable parts.

Clancy


Clancy is related to another monster listed at Vexillia Sock Monsters named Chauncy. They were made from the same socks and bare a striking resemblance to one another. There are differences, the biggest one being Clancy's IQ. While Chauncy believes anything you tell him, Clancy questions everything. Clancy can get on our nerves, which is why we're trying to teach him better social skills at our school for Monsters. Clancy is 9" tall with matching button eyes. I recommend him for children three years of age and up.

Big Red


Big Red is one of the tallest monsters at Vexillia Sock Monsters, standing almost 12" tall. He's truly monstrous, as one of his favorite activities is stomping around the house, terrorizing the smaller monsters and making them scamper and scream.Big Red has button eyes which makes him a bit of a choking hazard so I recommend him for children three years of age and up.

Shorty


Shorty was inspired by a teddy bear I saw the other day. I wanted to make a cute and cuddly little monster in very soft colors. Shorty is 8" tall but looks shorter for some reason.Shorty has matching button eyes.

Elliot


I made Elliot while working at the Broadway show Billy Elliot. I had a lot of down time and was able to start and finish Elliot in two sittings. Elliot is wearing a stylish track suit made from one of the many many pairs of socks I bought earlier this year. In total, I used four socks to create him.Regarding his personality, he's a little bit pushy. A bit of a bully, we caught him making fun of poor little Chauncy. In spite of all the teasing, Chauncy still likes Elliot.With his soft horns, Elliot is 11" tall.Recommended for children, three years of age and up.

Marco

DSC02136
Marco's favorite game to play is hide and seek. He's our second monster to really excel at the game. There was one time that he hid so well, we completely forgot about him. Marco has button eyes which makes him risky for children under three years of age. Marco is very soft and stands about 8" tall.

Plink

DSC02139
Plink has a little bit of a Napoleon complex. He got tired of being picked on by the bigger monsters. So, he talked to some of the other little monsters that live at the Vexillia sock monster factory and convinced them to make a little gang. Now they stand up to the bigger monsters. But sometimes I get worried they might try to take over the house. Plink is 6" tall and made out of two different socks. His button eyes are a choking hazard so use your best judgement.

Tiberius

DSC02147
Just because Tiberius is wearing pink pants doesn't mean he's a girl. He just likes to wear pink. There's nothing wrong with that. He likes all the same boy monster activities that tough boys like. Just don't talk about his mother or white belly button. Tiberius is about 7" tall. Button eyes make him appropriate for older children.

Aciano

Aciano
Aciano is short and stout, just like the little teapot. He loves to sing and dance. But he also likes to play two-hand touch on the weekends when the weather starts to get crisp.

Petunia

Petunia
Petunia is a ball of love. She's very cuddly and sweet. Whenever it gets a little bit cold I reliably find her under the covers with her little head resting comfortably on the pillow next to me. Petunia is about 7" tall. She's is completely handsewn with no removable parts.

Sandoval

DSC02152
Sandoval is a fiery little thing. He's got a very spicy personality. He likes to roughhouse with Plink and the other little monsters in Plink's gang(see Plink's listing). But as much as he likes to get into trouble, he also likes to please people. Don't be surprised if he brings you breakfast in bed.

Begonia

DSC02142
Begonia was created in Italy. She is talkative, vivacious and full of knowledge about how the Monsters destroyed Ancient Rome. She is starting to bore our other monsters but she would be non-stop entertainment for an inquisitive child.Begonia is 9.5" tall but doesn't take up much room. She is handsewn, completely.

Cavanaugh

DSC02170
Cavanaugh is a cute little girl monster who likes to get into trouble. So, you're going to have to watch her very closely. We've tried confining her to a small pen where we send naughty monsters for timeouts, but she always manages to escape.Cavanaugh is completley handsewn and probably stands 6" tall, but I'm just guessing. I don't have my ruler with me.

Sirius

DSC02165
Sirius is ironically named for the Dog Star, because he looks like a cat. I really like Sirius, although he is prone to hissing at me if he doesn't get his own way. Although he is not really a cat, he does share similar likes and dislikes. Be careful when you eat tunafish or drink milk because that's when Sirius is most likely to sneak up on you and steal what you're eating or drinking.Other than those little quirks, Sirius is quite a lovely companion.

Chloris

Chloris
Chloris likes to wear her pajamas. She wears them 24 hours a day. Cuddling is her favorite activity and she really enjoys hugging. She also likes to be tickled. Chloris is 10" tall and is completely handsewn. I think that makes her safe for little ones who like to put things in their mouths.

Snowflake

DSC02172
Snowflake comes from a very cold climate. Like all creatures from snowy environs, Snowflake has developed a white coat as camouflage against predators.Snowflake is a litte bit of a showoff. He annoys me when I'm watching Jeopardy by answering all the questions before I've even had a chance to read through the clues.Snowflake is 6" tall and comletely handsewn making him safe for little ones that like to put things in their mouths.Perfect little stocking stuffer.
