Can crochet be cute and scary? I think this Great White amigurumi might just prove it.
I have always loved sharks, and once had a very close encounter when snorkeling with my Dad. We were swimming along and before we knew what was happening two sharks were swimming underneath and around us. I was very scared but my dad told me to swim for shore slowly and confidently and he would stay in the water so the sharks didn't follow me. I must have been quite frightened because I landed on the other side of the beach - by the time I had walked back to our area, my Dad was already back and enjoying a cold beer. We later discovered the sharks we saw were big but harmless black tips.
This Great White is considering eating something yummy.
Well maybe just a leg...
Yum!
Gruesome! Lol! I love it. Don't like swimming in the sea myself, partly because it's freezing, and partly because of all the living creatures that might swim past! :-)
