R2D2 gets a friend!

So, when I say friend of R2D2, who comes to mind?  C3PO?  Luke Skywalker?  …Yoda??  No – wrong, wrong, wrong!  The obvious answer should be:

R5D4, of course!!

This brilliant idea wasn’t mine actually…it was a custom order!  I would never have thought of making R5D4, but he definitely makes the cutest counterpart for R2D2! 

Making him was pretty difficult.  I had to start over so many times to get the head shape right.  I even made an extra body using an off-white colored yarn, because for some funny reason, I thought R5D4 was an off-white color…but actually he’s white.  It only looked off-white because of the reflection of the sand on his body.  Ha ha ha…I should have looked at him more carefully before I started darnit….

AND…R5D4 is so much fancier than R2D2!!  Look at all his fancy embellishments!  Those decked out disco-light neck squares, 3 eyeballs instead of 2 (and a glassy crystal eyeball too!), fancy rectangles on his body, and 4 different colors instead of 2 ooooh so special!  When I finished and compared him to R2D2, I almost felt sorry for R2D2 because he looked so empty and, well, naked all of a sudden!  Maybe we got a little carried away with our decorations on R5D4.  Oh well, it’s ok R2D2, you’re still our favorite!

Unfortunately, I didn’t write anything down so there’s no pattern, in case anyone’s wondering.  He was too hard to construct, and making a pattern with nice pictures and step-by-step instructions just seems too daunting for me!  Perhaps in the future when I have more time…

That’s all for now!  Went through quite a dry spell of not posting for a while, but I’ll be making more posts soon, so please visit again!
