Here's the little panda cub I made for my mom. I hope she likes him or she's in big big trouble with me. bear_angry

I have yet to decide on a name for him. I figured she already had something in mind but apparently she doesn't...I'm in shock. So any suggestions would be welcome.

He's made from Intercals 380S/CM in Black and Cream. I've given him handpainted eyes in deep blue with touches of lavender and gold. I've also given him upper lids and for the first time tried lower lids as well. He's the got my usual heartshaped muslin pouch inside his chubby little tummy filled with copper BB's. He about 10 inches in a seated position and about 14 if he were standing.

Now that I'm finished I may give another panda a try afterall. bear_wub

Thanks for peeking...

Wonderful Panda Shantell- you have done a great job on him and if your Mother doesn't want him there would be a lot of Mothers on TT who would adopt him!!!!

I've decided on a name...I did a baby name search and came up with BO LIEN...meaning "precious lotus". I chose it because my dad's middle name is Lien...so I just pick Bo because it goes nicely. Simple...easy to remember and pronounce. It'll make her happy.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I had a really hard time with him face. I decided to paint his eye patches rather than struggling with sewing them on and I just wasn't happy with the way they turned out at first...hard to explain. I'm happy with him now.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all the kind words. I'm so critical of my own work and can be such a perfectionist that the smallest "mistake" drives me crazy and just jumps out at me.

Again...Merry Christmas...I'm so glad it's almost over for another year.
