This is my first wombat. Is name is Colin & he is 7" tall. He is also 9way cotterpin jointed.& he has his wee collar with the Huggington-beare logo & wombat pin. I used the Sassy spotted for his foot pads. Nice fabric that.
He has an embroidered bees wax nose and a tiny teeny pink tongue. Which I got the idea from Kimberly because I didnt think I could do such a teeny tongue.
Colin is also #2 in my bush baby series. & thses pics were taken with my new camera. I still have to get use to the editing program. These pics are so big.  I hope they look clearer to you all than what you had to put up from me before :doh:

Cute...but I have to admit although I've heard of a wombat I really have no clue what one really looks like.  I suspect yours is simply much cuter!!!!

Cutie critter, Wendy!

He looks very cheeky too.

The question is: how did you manage to put 9 joints???

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Aha . . . so that what a wombat looks like.  Well, yours is adorable!!!  I love the way you did his nose too.

Hi Wendy, I think your wombat is great, I tried a few months ago designing one myself, and its not that easy.  :clap:

matilda Oct 8, 2006

Karen, you are absolutely correct. I stalled and stalled on making this one. I was unable to see any personality in the critter. :redface:  Then I thought well if I can get his ears and nose right then the rest is entirely artist interpretation    
The pattern needs tweeking. His shoulders are way too narrow and his neck needs to be a wee tad thicker.   
Give it another go Karen I would love to see your interpretation.

Great interpretation of a wombat..I had never seen one before except for a character called 'Willie the Wombat' when I was a child,I had know idea  what one looks like!!

Very creative!!!! :clap:

Great creative, imaginative work, Wendy - as usual for you!!!

matilda Oct 11, 2006

thankyou Sueann. I find it frustrating...one moment I have no ideas and then the next , there is so much that there are casualties in the flood.

So unique and adorable !

I know exactly what you mean Ellen.  I think the only way to describe a wombat is a ...'stream lined hairy football on stumpy legs' :crackup:

matilda Oct 13, 2006

Okay Kitty!!! I caught you 'ere again have I? Loitering by my wee critter! go on scat, ya lit'l bugga.
:crackup:  :crackup:

matilda Oct 13, 2006

OK Kitty all is forgiven. Just loved that wombat sight. Thanks for bringing it to us.   :hug:
