Just when we think we have seen it all, another amazing talent appears before our eyes. Crocheting is nothing new. Our grandparents do it, there are crochet clubs, and chances are somebody handmade crocheted something for you as a gift that you still have, or that you kept from your childhood. Crocheting anything takes an abundant amount of patience and skill, especially if you want the wool to actually create something that is recognizable.
It’s hard to imagine that anyone could have such crocheting talent that he or she could not only design micro pieces of art, but truly capture the look of a cat, owl or pop culture items that we have cherished in our own way. A crafty family of crochet crafters known as Su Ami has done just that, and you can find them on Etsy. Their creative name is derived from a nickname of the youngest member of the family whose interests inspire many of the amigurumi patterns.
Their talents range in technique, but as you will see, they are magnificent and produce a new micro creation on a monthly basis for you to collect or give as a unique gift. The detail that is added from the various colors of wool gives each handmade piece a realistic look. To add to their already astonishing creativity, the Su Ami store also encases each of their micro crocheted miniatures inside a clear plastic box with a removable lid so you can create a miniature dollhouse or scene to house your crocheted items individually.
Each crocheted miniature doll is made to order, so each one is one-of-a-kind. Their design is crafted using various colors of wool that are crocheted using embroidery threads. To enable movement with the arms and legs of some of these crafts, some are filled with polyfill to provide a 3D version. The crafters use five way full threads to create joints so you are able to move the miniatures into an array of positions and bring life to your one-of-a-kind collectible.
These micro handmade crocheted miniature dolls are intended for adult collectors only.
