Monty is 6" standing  4" sitting
wetlook shultz mohair
filled with steel shot & cotton.
armatures in arms to hold pose.
needle felted sculpute to Bill& toes
& also the piosoned spur on his heels. (Minus poison)

I deliberately used  techniques I pick up here from you all on TT.
arms....joint on side seam.   works a treat.Love that one.
steelshot in paws....like that one too.
Larger disks in body at hips. ...have been using this one awhile now. It gives apolished appearance to the thighs.
                                                                                                               (professional)

And lastly the moustache trimmer, which also have been using for a few months now. Makes the job easy and more pricise.
This platypus is winging its way to my swap buddy right now. 

He'll be there some time next week Marion.  :hug: Matilda   I have also posted pics on needlefelting.

I'm so excited - he's mine....all mine!  Yaaaaaah.
Altho I didn't realize platypuses (platypie?) had poisoned spurs. I'll have to warn my bear hug to be extra nice to him.

PS Monty brings back childhood memories as I had a paltypus when I was young...not a real one - a stuffed toy.
