A course by Carla Mitrani
In addition to being a well-known amigurumi designer, Carla Mitrani is a journalist and TV producer in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Learning how to crochet was a major turning point in her life; she started small, occasionally making dolls on request, and now sells patterns for her original designs on Etsy. In the crochet universe, she's known as “Amour Fou” (crazy love).
In 2020, she published Crochet Iconic Women with the company David & Charles, a collection of patterns to crochet 15 inspiring women who changed the world. She also collaborated with Thunder Bay Press to create finger puppet sets of Star Wars and Disney characters.

Cours très agréable et inspirant, expliqué clairement même si parfois la caméra est trop éloignée des mains ou pas dans le bon angle. Il y a heureusement des ressources supplémentaires pour pallier à cela.
Ce cours ouvre la porte à l'imagination et à une multitude de projets avec les explications pour marionnettes à doigts ou petits personnages en entier.
Merci Carla pour le partage!!
