LOOK AT THIS!!!!

How utterly FAB is this cutie! this is what Angel sent me in the charity toy swap and i just adore him. i love his hat - it is made from really fluffy wool, and his nose is so cute - the way she has knitted his cosy red scarf and attached the buttons is just lovely.
Angel thankyou so much for swapping with me and i hope u like your toy as much as i like mine :)

work in progress


this is my current work in progress. such a beautiful model - not sure i can do her justice! i'm working in grey-scale pastels, but really i would like to do it in full colour as the colours are so bright in the photo.
just from putting it on here right next to the actual photo, i can already see some glaringly (is that a word?) obvious mistakes which i was unable to see with the picture right in front of me.
thanks for looking!
