Some assembly required

Worked on framing Johnny Depp in his pirate guise today. He came out quite handsome and will go well with David Tenant
Here is the first animal for my zoo. It's an elephant that about 4.5 inches tall.
Here he is showing off his side view. He's soft but his trunk and tusks are pose-able as they have pipe cleaners (chenille stems) inside them. He makes you want to just side and play with him. They do take a bit of time to assemble because each piece is sewn separately and then added to the whole. Being careful in the sewing makes them come out so nice looking.

Here is the next knitted set of blobs. The top is knit in moss stitch to give it texture. The underside is just plain garter stitch for skin like look. He/She will look really cool. When you finish up one animal, the others call out and say "Knit me next, please" and of course I'm listening to them.
