Feb. 13 (UPI) -- A student at Scotland's Glasgow School of Art used nearly 200 feet of corduroy fabric to create the world's largest sock monkey sculpture.
Emilia Evans-Munton, 22, said she started work on her massive plushie as a passion project for her degree show, and only later realized it might be the largest in the world.
"My dad pointed out it was probably the largest in the world and encouraged me to contact Guinness World Records," Evans-Munton told Guinness World Records.
The final sculpture, which was stuffed with 40 straw bales, measures 49 feet and 6 inches long.
"A large part of my sculpture practice is focused on scale, and making my adult audience feel small again in comparison to such a big object to encourage the (perhaps repressed) childlike fascination that exists in us all," she said.
