Giggle time! Jane Doe Amineko gave Rorschach a heart "tattoo". If you follow this blog you have seen all the "kids" as we call all our Aminekos (crocheted cats). I was flipping through Palm-Size Softies and Tattoo Bible - Book 2 and got the idea that Roy should get "inked," only the needle used was for sewing and his material was felt and some embroidery floss.
Roy is really happy with Jane's work. Any suggestions for more? I also had the idea that this would be a great idea for fixing a worn spot or rip in a loved softie.
