This is my new creation. He's about 12", out of a dense German mohair with a needlefelted face. His paw pads are 100% wool. His eyes which follow you everywhere are from Discojoints in Ontario. He's cotter-pin jointed with a slightly floppy neck and his arms have armatures for movement. I used copic markers to slightly shade his muzzle.
