Semifinalists 09, Round Two

And here it is, people—the second batch of semifinalists in the 2009 Mochimochi Photo Contest!

In case you’re wondering, we selected the semifinalists based on these factors: originality of idea, originality of toy(s), and quality of photo. (And overall cuteness, of course!)

Please help us narrow down the semifinalists to finalists by declaring your favorites in the comments to this post! In no particular order:

This itty-bitty Grass puts all the Tiny Things to shame! Incredible.

Awesome embellishment. How’d you like to catch this cute one in your net?

Halloween Cats by mrs.cheveley

The knitter describes them as “Edgar Allen Poe themed cats.” The small one is from The Black Cat, the middle is from The Cask of Amantilado, and the biggest is from The Masque of the Red Death. Spoooky!

The little chicken looks speechless at what has just hatched. A great mod and photo!

Is French Snake too civilized to swallow French Mouse? (Now I have the urge to put all my toys in aquariums and cages.)

campy and the mallows! and mmmmm… by giolou

The knitter’s own goes camping with some friends. Then he starts eating them.
