It can be so frustrating sometimes.... but just work through it as best you can and try not to be so hard on yourself. We all make these mistakes..some things come with time and often, even when you know how to do something, it can go haywire anyway
I find when I am working and becoming frustrated..I have to just set the little one down somewhere where I can still see him or her....and walk past them ..over and over as I am doing other things. Somehow, as I pass by them and glance at them...the solution often comes to me or...a new direction is found. We all need help now and again..just take a deep breath and keep on going :)
Best of luck and don't give up :)Doreen

THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH EVERYONE. I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR KIND HELP I will let you know how I make out!!!
Hello Everyone..I hate asking for help but I have hit a dead end and can not figure out how to get my bears (and other animals to stand)..well..I can of course if I use a stand or create their legs from paper mache..however...I would like them to stand on their own and be completely made of mohair.....I have TRIED...and TRIED..and tried again...to make them stand by wiring their legs and they flop over every time. I just made a cat yesterday..wired his legs by bending thick wire and placing it in his legs and feet..he stood fine before I stuffed him and now that he is stuffed he flops right over. Are you suppose to attach the wire to the joint? I did not do that as I could not figure out how I would then be able to get the joint tight enough...
Does anyone know of a tutorial for this..or class? Any advice or help would be SO VERY appreciated.
Thank you so much .
