Camel: The Final Edition

[jwgh]

I finished making up the camel the other day, and since I'm going to give it to my nephew tomorrow I decided I should take a few pictures:

Pretty painfully cute, sir!
Is his face essentially a sock-end, or have you got some cleverer way of managing?

[jwgh]

That's pretty much what's going on there, I think, although I've never actually made any socks so I can't be sure. I think that the direction's reference to a 'head gusset' was supposed to refer to my nonexistent sock-making background.

I think I tend to overstuff things so the head might not be quite as bulbous if I hadn't crammed it full of polymer fill.

AAAHHHHHHH!!!!! THAT IS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!

He looks a little retarded, but I think that's part of his charm.

And the little blanket is just so...so...

I'm at a a loss for words.

Totally adorable.

Adore the smile in the last picture. So goofy, yet devilish at the same time.

Is it to be a boy or girl camel? Or the name, anyway?

The little blanket thingy is so cute. Is it attached? If so, how? With thread, or glue, or what?

I had to take a couple of tries at each of the facial features ... I'm glad you like the result. :-)

I've decided to leave the naming of the camel and the determination of its gender up to my nephew and his parents. (That's also what I did with the teddy bear I made earlier this year.)

The blanket isn't attached. If I had attached it I would have tacked it on with thread. Ideally I would have put a couple of strips of velcro on the underside (I think velcro would stick to the camel pretty well) so it would still be removable but would stay on better, but I lacked the materials, time, and know-how to do that.

so cute! it looks like something you'd find in an antique shop, except not stinky and moth-eaten.

Oh my god, he's so cute! And so happy! And fuzzy and other stuff that makes him kick much ass.

any of Gunnar's (http://www.gunnarmadsen.com/) other recordings, but I suspect Old Mr. Mackle Hackle would be proud to accompany such an amazingly cute camel!
