Back Road BearsIn another thread we decided to challenge oursleves by choosing an animal other than a bear or whatever we are accustomed to making. The animal could be anything... as long as it challenged our abilities. And it can be made of mohair, synthetic, other fabric or felted.
So..... though we set July 30th as a deadline..... whenever you have your Beast made... share it with us here!!! Photos!!! Lots and lots of photos!!

Sonya
DoodlebearsI know I have already posted Packito's picture before but I thought he should be added here where I should have put him in the first place. I'm such a dill I couldn't find where to post the pictures when it was so obvious.
Hugs Jane.

Finally got something done for this challenge. I've had a fabric remnant for years that I bought to use as paw pads, but its texture looks somewhat like elephant, rhino, hippo, etc. hide . . . so I decided to use it for my first ever hippo. Paul has an affinity for hippos and can add it to his collection. It's 9.5 inches from bum to end of nose and 5 inches tall. I have to confess that I did study one of his stuffed ones . . . a giant (26" long) hippo made by Cooperstown Bears . . . to figure out how to draw some of the pattern pieces. That one had a gazillion pieces just in the head, so I definitely simplified my version and did a lot of needle sculpting.
Kim-Bee BearsOOOOOHHH SUEANN!!! I LOVE HIPPOS!!! AND YOURS IS WONDERFUL!!!!
Past Time BearsThank you very much, ma'am!!
Back Road BearsOh, my........ I hadn't checked in here in a while and LOOK at all this talent!!!
Kim... I am in LOVE with your raccoon!!!! Wow! How did you do his tail???? I'm impressed!
Jane.... love that monkey's personality!
Sue Ann.... I would find a hippo to be a HUGE challenge yet look at your guy!!! He's perfectly hip!! Fantastic job!
Sonya..... I love your clever imagination and originality! You are so creative!
Millie...... Your buffalo looks so soft!!!
Krista..... Another clever creation...... what a face that dragon has!
Ahhhhh.... the inspiration that just comes ooooozing out of my computer from you all!

I never thought I would say a hippo is cute but here goes...
Hugs Jane.
Past Time BearsThank you much, Jane . . . yup, hippos don't have much going for them in the looks department! 
Matilda Huggington-beareThe Hippo Sue ann is just wonderful. !!!
There is alady here in WA who also makes hippos. The level to which the needle scultping is taken is unbelievable.
Yours has such an alive face.
Wendy
Past Time BearsThank you soooo much, Wendy, for your nice comments on the hippo. Does the lady that makes hippos there have a website? I'd love to see her work!
