Lion


I know, I know. 

Lions are supposed to be savage and wild and dangerous.

I tried to make dangerous hair. His hair is pretty dangerous, right?

A little higher excitement factor in this variation - a tufted tail,

filled patches (like the frog eyes) for his muzzle. And that dangerous hair, of course.

And let's talk about his ears. See those ivory inner ear bits? They aren't appliqued patches. The outer tawny ear simply rolls over the ivory inner pieces. I will teach you how to make those rolled-edge ears in the pattern. You'll use that technique for lots of other ears!

  1. Savage... wild... dangerous! Um... yes, indeedy! I'm afraid... VERY afraid! But I sure do feel inclined to hug him! :)

  2. My favorite, based on sheer cuteness. Must be the mane. Or the oranginess. (The frog gets big points for humor... the fly! I do love funny things.)

  3. Are your plushies getting cuter with time or I'm just slowly regressing into a 8 years old version of myself? Really awesome work!
