Trico Amigurumi - What's in the Pot?

Recently put the finishing touches on this little guy, thought it fitting to take photos among greenery.  And what better greens for a cat-creature than catnip?


Crocheted with various types of yarn: chunky Homespun for the darker parts of the body; single-ply acrylic silver crocheted together with nylon eyelash yarn to create a very soft texture for the lighter areas; picked-apart Vanna's Choice - from 4 to 2-ply for the horns; even more Vanna's Choice for the legs.  Eyes and tear stains were needle-felted on (but I so wish to create eyes that shine!).
Spent a lot of time creating my own pattern for this, except for the wings, the pattern of which I purchased from   (because they were just perfect!)
