May the Fourth: Ooh La la!

Recently, in a galaxy relatively close in proximity, I was asked to participate in Bear and Bird Gallery‘s upcoming Stitch Wars exhibition (opening May 14th in Lauderhill, FL), an art show where fiber artists give their yarny interpretations of various Star Wars characters.  

I knew almost immediately who I wanted to recreate: Oola, Jabba the Hutt’s personal Twi’lek slave dancer from Return of the Jedi who meets her fate in the cavernous lair of the Rancor.

What can I say? I have a thing for green ladies.

Here are the results of my crocheted Oola figure…

Oola has poseable arms and legs, comes with her own chain and stands about 17.5″ tall (although figure does not stand on its own). She will be on sale during the run of the show, May 14-July 9, alongside other wonderful fibrous creations from many talented and nerdy artists!
