❆ Not Rudolf . . . . . . .or Bambi.. . . . . .

It's his little niece, a roe deer fawn :-)
This is how I start an animal, a bit of wool here a bit of wool there. Then I start with the eyes and from there first one side of the face. If the head is okay, I can see if the body needs adjusting ( smaller/bigger).
I'm planning to make her stand up with looooong legs, mmmm that is not going to be easy but what's in my head isn't in my☟.

  5. I'd try wooden dowels inside the legs. He's gorgeous so far! We must be on the same wave length. I just finished a reindeer yesterday.

  6. Thank you Robin, I will give that a try !
    I really think we're on the same wave length,it happens all the time from the moment I saw you on Flickr and your blog. If I had something in my head you were working on it or we make the same things at the same time :-)

  9. Какой нежный и добрый взгляд у косули!!! Она смотрит в самую душу. У новорожденной косули уже есть свой характер и настроение. Вы творите чудо!!!
