Attack of the Minions
Some of you may not know this, but Minions are kind of a big deal around here. Not only does (almost) everyone love the little yellow creatures but one of the earliest crochet projects attempted by Faye was the Minion hat above.
I however may have started taking things a little too far.
In fact I fear it’s turning into an unhealthy obsession, at least that’s what the doctors tell me. It’s not like I’ve got that many restraining orders from prominent genetic research organisations, I only send threatening letters on a bi-monthly basis demanding they start research into engineering them for me.
In the meantime, this is the best I can do without the funds, equipment or prerequisite scientific expertise to make my own:

There’s a part of me that longs for the talent and ability to carve this in marble or maybe some suitably yellow stone or mineral.

This is how a comparably normal and sane person like Riven (honest) would draw Elsa.
Whereas a (supposedly) mythical woodland creature, with an odd fixation on animated films and a desire for world domination, such as myself, would draw it more like….

Unravel and Unwind’s Faye and Riven both got the minion treatment, even if they didn’t want it.
![Honestly, this is just how I see people now...](https://unravelandunwindcic.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/minion-and-real-faye-and-riven.jpg?w=660)
Literally nothing is safe from my obsession, not classical art.
![I call it Genesis of Minion. I'm redoing it in oil paints.... stop me please!](https://unravelandunwindcic.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/adam-vs-minion.jpg?w=660)
Not our own recent history, like the soldiers of the first world war.

Not even the plant-life is safe from my Minion addiction, as demonstrated by my attempt to draw lavender and a daisy.

At this point I either need professional help or some actual Minions.
I mostly doodle/paint these either during Riven’s drawing classes or during my time acting as Guard-Yeti during Unravel and Unwind’s other sessions.
