Creating the SMAC! monkey prototype - "Sock Monkeys Against Cancer." SMAC! is a new gang of monkeys mobilizing BIG TIME to help cancer patients, caregivers, etc. SMAC! cancer with luv, some 'tude & sock monkey mojo. And, it's all about GIVING. "One SMAC! = Two." When you buy a SMAC! monkey, one will be given to someone with/impacted by cancer. Crowdfunding campaign to bring these guys to life to launch SOON!! Join the movement. #smacancer
Ok, nobody freak out....here's the first sample of NoMo from the factory. Here's the message from the importer. "I have attached the pictures of the initial sample of your SMAC Monkey. The colors that they used aren't right, but sometimes they use whatever fabric they have available for the first samples until they get it perfected. They also have the WTF? logo on this monkey instead of the SMAC logo, so we will get that corrected. See what you think so far and we will go from there."

@Lisa Waddell I really did the way REBELalaMODE makes these guys. Super cute. Hopefully I'm not adding confusion.

Lisa Waddell I also really like these guys. No confusion. :-)
@Lisa Waddell would ordering a kit like this be helpful at all?

Lisa Waddell Nope at this point I think I should have it right with my next attempt. ]
@Lisa Waddell cute design overall and fun combo of different fabrics

Jennifer Stauss Windrum @Lisa WaddellI really like the scissors they used to cut out the face and eyes. Adds a lot. And, the white dot in the eyes. Would replicating all of this be to complicated for others when making? Obviously, they'd need special scissors.

Fetching pins…
Jennifer Stauss Windrum It's definitely a start. Hard to look past the scraps used to make the sample.Kind of like shopping for a new house and you can't stand the carpet color or paint jobs.
