Kangaroo


A celebration of motherhood.

This is another variation on the Tail Extension permutation of the template.

Two additions: a front belly pouch and thigh-ed legs.

And the little joey, of course.

My girls squealed when they saw him. They like baby things, and mother-and-baby pairings make them go all soft and sighy.

He's shaped like his momma, 

but tiny.

This kangaroo wasn't even in the original list. One day, I was thinking, "Babies. Mini versions of softies. Pockets to store them. Hm." And suddenly I had to make her :)

  8. Mom and baby pairings make me go all soft and squishy, too. These are adorable!

    Would they still stand on their own if I made the tail curl upwards?

    1. MaryAnne: the basic template (without the tail) stands/sits on its own and leans forward slightly, so anything attached to the back of the animal will probably add to its stability. I haven't had the time to try a curling-up tail e.g. a squirrel's (even though that was on the non-short-list), but I'm guessing that it will probably work unless the tail itself is so large that it's heavier than the actual body.

    2. Forgot to discuss the joey: I'm not sure about a curling-up tail. If it curves up slightly, I think it will still stay upright as a whole. I'm not sure about a fully-upright tail, though, like a squirrel's. It'll be fun to find out!

  10. Love it. And being Australian I can see a Koala with a baby on its back...more mummy/baby cuteness!
