Hooray! If it’s Tuesday, it must be New Beastie Day! Here are a couple of the other new additions to the Beastie Towers family who joined us at our market last Saturday…
First up… Caff-Fiend Beastie!
Oh, I do love making Beasties with teeny mugs of hot drinks! And as someone with their feet firmly planted in the tea drinkers’ camp, all of my cup-toting Beasties up to now have been clutching a nice, milky brew. However, I have heard rumblings that some people -SHOCK – prefer coffee! And it turns out that this applies to Beasties too. So, Caff-Fiend Beastie has a big ol’ yellow mug full of rich, strong Americano…
…Although I suspect this might not be his first of the day! Check out his hair – is he perhaps a little frazzled?
Maybe we’d better make him order a chamomile tea next time around!
Of course, our “Drinks Beasties” feature today wouldn’t be complete without a Pint Beastie…
I equipped this Barróg* Beastie (those are the ones made out of 100% Irish wool) with one of my new-style pints, to see if the method worked with other types of beer… How about a nice red ale?
[*“Barróg” is the Irish word for “hug”, by the way!]
Looking good – I’d almost drink this myself! Sláinte!
Have you a favourite tipple that you’d like to see recreated in Beastie-size? Let me know in the comments!
Caff-Fiend Beastie is my kind of monster, although perhaps a Bubbly Beastie could share with him a bottle of champagne to help relax those frizzies.
Oooh, classy! I like it! Bubbly Beastie goes on the To Make list, thank you 😀🍾
Bloody Mary Beastie might be necessary if Bubbly Beastie celebrates too much and is seeking a hangover tonic.
Hahaha! Would it be too much to give Bloody Mary Beastie bloodshot eyes and a slightly less chipper expression than usual? 😆
Definitely…and maybe a bottle of aspirin in the non-drink hand?
YES! Bloody Mary Beastie probably needs to make an appearance now… Even if it’s just to prove that Beasties aren’t just for kids!
These beasties are great! I’m a tea drinker myself and can’t stand coffee. I can’t even drink it just to be polite. I’m curious as to how you might beastify a glass of wine. That’s my favourite grown up beverage.
Aaah, I’m not totally anti-coffee… But given the choice, “leaf juice” wins every time! And to satisfy your curiosity, here’s a link to a wine-toting Beastie I made last summer!

I’d like to find a better way to make glasses, but so far all the clear materials I’ve worked with have been a bit of a pain! The search continues…
Love the caff- fiend beastie, that will be the physics department tomorrow when we start back & dust off the coffee machine.
Heehee! Hope you all survived the first day back OK… I can’t believe it’s that time again already!
These are amazing! I really love how neat your beverages are! My wife and I did soft-craft monsters for years, and we never, EVER thought about mugs! This is brilliant work! I will stop gushing now. (but these are neat!)
Oh no, don’t let me stop you! 😀 It’s so cool to meet fellow monster-makers (even if you’ve hung up your craft tools) and I’d love to see your monsters sometime if you still have pictures! Thanks for stopping by 😀
I love caff-fiend beasties hair! Very appropriate. I think it could also be a mug of tea if you take it plain…I’m also a tea person but don’t mind an occasional coffee. I’m happy the pumpkin spice latte season is starting up. Mmmmm. Maybe you need a latte beastie, or hot chocolate and whipped cream beastie? Yum!
Oooh good thinking, especially once the cooler weather kicks in! I also want to make a Beastie with a matcha latte… I can’t get enough of that awesome swampy green colour! 😀
Yeah, that would be cool! And if you want a cool green drink (with a straw?) you could have a green smoothie beastie! 🙂
Brilliant… And healthy! That should help balance out all the beer-drinking Beasties I’ve been making lately 😀
I’m definitely into coffee and just LOVE caff-ied beastie and his electrified hair. The idea of whipped cream beastie also appeals to me … yummy! And the cream could have sprinkles, too. Can you tell I’m in separate need of something sweet. 😀
Hahaha, is it nearly coffee break time already?! I’d be tempted to add some marshmallows too… I think I should test out a few hot chocolate variations today to help me decide! It’s important to approach these things scientifically 😀
I totally agree! One has to do some thorough research on the topic to be able to craft a natural looking piece.
I wholeheartedly agree! 😀
