This is wee Elwin. He has now arrived safely to live with his new family. So I can now post his pics.
As usual I have used shultz mohair. this is a soft gray with blended blue background.
handpainted blue glass eyes. (a trick I picked up from somewhere????? gee I dont know where, hahah)
filling, cotton,wool & steelshot. cotterpin head joint, nut and bolts for limbs.
needle felted detailing for bill and toes. lace and diamonte butterfly on toe and a scattering of diamontes on platypussy's body. he is 6 inches like all most of my pussy's.
He was absolute bliss to make, because I was making him for a very special lady. :hug:

Okay, I am the proud new family of Elwin, and I must say the pictures do not even come close to doing him justice. He is so awesome, so much detail, such expression. He is absolute perfection!. Thanks Wendy, I truly love him.
