I hope you're all in a flattering mood today, because right now I have a cold, and tomorrow I'm back at work, so I need cheering up :D:D:D
I'm sooo happy! Slothlet is finally complete, all that needs to be done is to work out if he's a boy or girl (boys have a back marking to make it obvious XD) and to take some decent piccys... think I might be stealing one of the local papers cameramen for that job 
Slothlet is likely to be a boy called 'Ai', as I read that the locals called them that after their calls He's about.... 10 inches tall sitting, although his position can change that, and has a double neck joint, (my first ever), needle felted face (second ever) transparent FIMO claws (first ever... these took AGES!) and armature (first EVER! Wow poseability 0_0 )
EEEE!!!!!!
I just want to say thanks to everyone here at TT.... I know that's quite wide, but really, the majority of the information I used to make him came from the extensive library here, and the posts I've already made about these guys... thank you! I'm not sure what to do next with them, maybe they need a little more work... I don't know if he's good enough for the general public yet! But he's good enough for m, an that's all I car about right now.... plus all your opinions too! :hug: Once I decide if I'm selling or making more, and once I have good piccys I'll add him to the second gallery.
Thanks guys! :hug: :hug: :hug:
Past Time Bears:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Big congrats, Chloe . . . he's fantastic!
:D:D Thanks Sue Ann! He's here on my knee now, and I'm all a-judder! EEEE!!!
(... wow, pretty soon I'll be being called an Ee XD)
FenBeary FolkChloe he is stunning, amazing, his earlier pics did not do him justice, I am sure you could sell him :hug:
Thank you Sue I don't know if I CAN sell him, he keeps looking at me! I don't know... I'll see if I get any interest in the idea: after all with all the lovely bars around I'm not sure anyone with be after one of my sloths! One the one hand, nice cuddly bear... on the other... pokey clawy sloth XD
I lobe him tho
Wow, you done a good job with him Chloe, he is really unusual, well done.

Mikki
Cleathero CreationsWho wouldn't want to buy him? He was gorgeous!
Patsy Lake BearsChloe you have done a great job on him, he has a lovely appealing face.
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Awesome Job Chloe!!! Perseverance really pays off! He is just stunning!
Hugs,
Krista
Thank you everyone He keeps beckoning to me, I think I'll be keeping him until I can at least prove to myself that I am capable of making another one, and then and only then he may go on sale I don't want to lose him if he's the only one that will ever be successful! XD
The only problem with him, I think, is tat his fur is relatively sparse so you can see his seams, and I have the worse ladder stitch known to humanity! I was thinking of entering him into a beginners competition, but I don't know if he's good enough...
... I'm still quite glad he didn't come alive in he night and claw me XD
YorkshireWOW amazing 
I've been following all your threads for this wee one and am so pleased to finally meet him. You've done such a great job - clever clever lady :clap: :hug:
Hugs Ali x
Thank you Ali, I'm glad you weren't annoyed by the sheer amount of posts that actually led up to one being completed! There must be about three other sloth topics... XD Ah well, i got there in the end :)
See this is the plan: I'm no good at bears, and everyone on here is very good, so mine will never be as good... so pick something noone else does! MWAHA I think it is safe to say my sloth is one of the better sloths ever made on TT.... see how that works?
I win!
YorkshireAhhh that how you do it - find an unusual animal :crackup: Might try that trick myself!!!! Between us we could do the whole animal kindgom
I loved all your posts - its the best way for me to learn. One question, how did you attach the claws - did you use wire like glass eyes and use glue or was there another technique? I'm so nosey 
Mwahha! The plan is coming together! *rubs hands gleefully*
I need to find more relatively flat-faced animals 
Any suggestions?
His claws were made from FIMO, and then I poked a hole into their base. Cook 'em and then force them onto a copper wire: then bend and secure that as armature. No glue: the claws are held in place because the holes I left in the arms for them to poke through are quite small
YorkshireWow, thats sooooooo clever
How about one of the monkeys - I like the small spider monkey pictures that the lady from Doodlebears took at London Zoo in the General section.
I was actually considering working on an orangutan, but i don't know how I'd work out anatomy: they're so hairy!
Maybe a golden lion tamarin would be nice to do? I like gibbons myself... always open to flat-faced suggestions!
MerBear OriginalsI think you did a fabulous job - he looks so real!
Marion
Tami Eveslage Original Teddy BearsYou have captured this animal beautifully! All that hard work has paid off!
Wow, thank you everyone... I'm so happy! I think I'll try a smaller model next... I don't know that anyone would buy one though they're not really something people collect!
dusty attic bearsHe is wonderful, 
I have always loved sloths and I would buy him, I love things that are a little bit out of the ordinary. He is really great, looking forward to seeing more sloths. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Flying Fur Studiosjust adorable. You did a great job!
well done EEEEE, my dear - you did a super job
i like the wistful smile very much

Thank you everyone! I have to say I took him to my mum's work yesterday and handed him over to their top photographer, who immediately went home to get some branches to pose him on, and his shots are AMAZING! I will add them here later on, as I'd like some input on wether or not he'd be good enough to enter into the beginners section of a competition or not...
I think if I do end up at Hugglets I'll be bringing him, slung around my neck like a small hairy child, so you can all meet him in person and see if he's as good in real life! Plus that way you'll know it's me...
Ta!
Chloe (Eee XD)
