Monster's Inc Inspired Umbrella
This week I shipped a different kind of parasol - a horned umbrella. This was perhaps the most difficult item I have ever made! This was a custom design request from a customer on Etsy. She wanted something subtle, but something that still said Monster's Inc. She specifically asked for a green umbrella with horns, specifying that she was aiming for the friendly monster, Mike.
The challenge was really adding horns that would close and stand up. And this was a huge challenge. In order to properly create the effect, I chose to use wire and parachute fabric. Typically, my parasols are made from EVA plastic, however, in this case plastic just wasn't durable enough.It is still a very delicate umbrella, but I love how it turned out.
I think Mike agrees with me, don't you? :)
And now for our featured guest! (Business owners, this is especially for you!)
