Very pretty! It reminds me of that horse that keeps changing colors in the movie Wizard of Oz

Dido is lovely, Lanie! I really like the dark face and contrasting nose.
Becky
I love Dubby's head! (Don't tweak that part of your design too much )
Is that a synthetic plush fur, or something else? (It looks quite dense, and not exactly easy to sew. Well-done!)
Becky
The little beard under his chin is very sweet, and the felted details work beautifully with that fur.
Becky
Your bears are so appealing, Jan, and this one is no exception.
I hope the auction goes well.

Lisa, Oggy is fabulous! :clap:
It's amazing to me how you can capture the look of so many different species -- including the really fun ones!
(The photo on your website of Oggy with his fingers interlaced is priceless.)
Becky
Kim -- the photo of Evie is adorable!
I wonder whether these messages from the gingerbread man will inspire her to travel the world someday...
Becky
Soooo cool! The multi-colored felt is lovely (and bright), and that face with those big eyes -- wonderful! :clap:
Becky
Thank you Linda!
Now I think I've got it -- The "dangling" end threads pull the knot inside a NEW spot, not the one you just came out of. The knot is actually doing double-duty since it would have to go through the fabric twice in order to pull out.
Yay! :dance: (I've been wondering about that for a long time.)
Becky
This information is such a great help!
Would anyone like to tackle the question about "sinking a knot"? Does that simply mean pulling it inside the fabric? (Wouldn't that negate the purpose of a knot?)
Thanks!
Becky
What a great idea, Paula! :clap:
Carole's fur and her eyes are just lovely, and the big bow is perfect for Christmas.
Becky
You do the cutest feet!
Zero will certainly warm his new humans' hearts this winter.
Becky
Magnus is absolutely perfect, IMHO
I love the size, the antique style, the fur color and the way it works with the eyes and nose color -- just superb :clap:
Becky
Awww...
Maybe it's the vest/waistcoat, but he looks a little "bookish." Possibly a librarian. So cute!
Becky
Oh, yes -- I like him a lot!
The warm beige (?) fur is just lovely on him. It makes me think of a baby woolly mammoth

Hi Gail,
It sounds like fun!
Can we make it a "Holiday Card" exchange, though, so as not to exclude people of different faiths?
I'll send you my info.
Becky
That sounds like great fun! Perhaps the gingerbread man is visiting my part of the world...
Becky
He's a very special panda bear. I really like the fur color and texture, and his sweet nose is beautifully done.
