I made him. (sh.itjust.works)

I'm good at a lot of things. Sewing isn't one of them.

This started when I got a pattern to use up the box of felt from my failed wet felting experiments. Since I already mastered The Dryer Ball, my hubris led me to believe I was ready for multi-cellular organisms.

And I was. He's my handsome fox man.

He looks ugly in a cute and charming kind of way, if that makes any sense.

    I find the belly very interesting. Looks almost like a huge cotton ball on an open wound, with the red coming from the outer parts. Was it intentional? How did you do it?

    It's all scrap felt I made for other projects, 2D it looks like marbled red and white - the wool colours I used. I chose that piece for the belly to represent love.

    And I know dick all about sewing, too. The pattern came in plastic pieces I traced, cut, and followed the directions to put together. I did it by hand for extra love (because I don't own a sewing machine.)

    I could see this little fella as a character in some weird creepy parody of a kid's game, or Five Nights At Freddy's or some odd shit.

    Well done, for whatever it is LOL!
