Last week I got a repeat order for another set of Bride and Groom Monkeys, so that is what I have been working on. This is the completed groom here. I have reminded the buyer that since they are handmade each is different, just like people. I don't think I could make two alike if I tried. They seem to each take on their own personality. Unlike the first Groom I made, this monkey is sporting a black bowtie to go with his black tux. For the new Bride Monkey I plan to add a bouquet and a garter on her leg.

I just read an article last night where a fellow crafter offered the advise of finding an item that you like, make it a thousand times until you are happy with it. The problem I have with that advise is that I could make the same style monkey 1000 times and each time it would be different and I would be happy with each.
