I would love to see Brian by the Pitch Drop experiment in Parnell!

Is it feasible to take up croctcheting cute animals for a living? By living I mean pay the bills, rent and essential extras like dental.

No, I don't think so. I know someone who does it on the side, and the projects just take far too much time compared to the money that gets made. If you enjoy it, great, make some small money on the side and have fun with it, but I don't think there's any way to do it efficiently enough that you can survive on it alone.

Probably not, but you could try it part time in your free time and see if people buy them.

Oooh, Brian on a jacaranda carpet in the Great Court!
