Please meet Pascha, my Mandrill.
His shoulder height is 12.6 inches (32 cm) . The face is needle-felted; the teeth are made from fimo.
He was fun to make, I hope you like him.
First, Christina, wow! What a project! And now I must ask - why a mandrill?
Becky
I know, there's nothing cute about them. But the male Mandrill is the most colorful mammal. Since I started with needle-felted faces, I thought a Mandrill would be an interesting project.
Interesting indeed, and quite the needle-felting challenge (I imagine) with those brows, separate patches of colors on the face, and ridges on the muzzle. (I see that he has a colorful rear-end as well!)
Becky
He looks quite fierce! I hope he behaved himself during the creative process. Amazing!
Great job!
What a wonderful job that needle felting has really brought his face to life well done! The teeth are also amazing and I really like the way your have done his ears you should be very proud
Thank you all very much; it means a lot!
