Finished my gnome. Body can come apart into three pieces for easier repair. Mustache halves rotate on a plastic bolt hidden under a smaller center mustache, so mustache can point up or down or sideways. Legs designed to sit or stand in a natural position based on a variation of a marionette joint design mentioned in the class for elbows. Torso has back or bottom entry depending on whether the legs are in use.
Still working on it! :-) A lot of hand sewing and redesigning after the fur I wanted to use (I felt) was too neon to use for the Tiger character I saw in my minds eye. I am now going with a feline cat character with the same markings as that of the Tiger. Here are some pictures of my progress.
Still working on it lol I vac formed the eyes, built a tail, striping done, foam dyed and carved into tongue, hands and arms still need to be in place, fur trimmed, costume still needing to be painted.
