Show-Raccoon-1.JPGShow-Raccoon-2.JPGShow-Raccoon.jpgWell, I posted this little guy in the showcase, but here is my little needle felted raccoon for the bear show next month.  I thought I'd add a little noise in this forum, too (although I'll admit being a bad NF TTer and haven't had time to come in here, either!!  :redface: I'm sorry!) 

here is Smidgen, sitting at just over 5 inches tall.

Hey Renae,

His 'grabby fingers' and toes are made from polymer clay. bear_original  Thanks for the compliment on him!  bear_wub  I have been thinking, "Man, I really want to make a raccoon" ever since we (my family and I) were leaving a state park nearby, and we saw a momma and two babies come waddling out of the woods at dusk. My husband managed to get one pic of them before they were gone.  What a good pic, eh! lol

I just noticed you posted, Dilu... Thank you so much!! 

lol We are bad, we used to feed our resident wild raccoon at our old apartment.  It was just one lone apartment upstairs from a beauty salon and had an outside entrance and stairs, and the little girl would come up and eat every night, wash her hands in our dog's water, sit around and look at us, then leave.  One night a big ol guy came up to get a bite to eat, too, and you should have HEARD it!!  She just growled and spat and scraped at him, and he sat there with the exact same look on his face as my little needle felted one above.  LOL

I was wondering what happened to you, Kim Bee!  I was about to email you if I hadn't seen you soon! bear_original  But... I haven't been able to really browse over TT, so you mught be here and I'm just crazy! lol

Thank you all so much, Lynn, Erin, Karen, and Wendy!  He was a lot of fun to make, too.  I don't think he'll be the last raccoon to come out of the 'Bear' Bottoms Studio! lol

Renae, yes, that's pretty much the look on that guy's face.  It was basically her sitting there, about 3 steps up, hissing, growling, and wagging her tail, while the boy kind of sat there on his butt with his ears pricked like, "What?" sniff sniff, "What's that up there? Smells like dog food!" lol  "Oh, pleeeeaaaase, pleeeaaase can I have some of that dog food?"
