Jabba the Sock

When I lived in Japan, I used to like the store UNIQLO because they always had inexpensive, good quality socks available in 20 or more colors. They have them all displayed on shelves making a veritable rainbow of socks. (I made the mistake of getting a bunch of different colors a few years ago, but decided after ending up with a bunch of odd socks that I’d keep it down on just a small selection of colors at once.)

I live in the US now, but I still like UNIQLO’s socks, so I stock up when I’m back in Japan. This time, I thought it might be fun to get some in Jabba’s colors. It didn’t occur to me until later that I could actually use the socks to make an actual Jabba. It turned out better than I thought it might, since I was able to make use of the socks’ natural shapes such as the heels, etc. to help create Jabba’s shape.
