Then she saw Ruby’s scarf and asked for one of those too. Thankfully @Kwality570 sent me enough. You can tell the shading best in this pic. It was my first time doing this type of shading on the felt creatures and I can see more happening in my future.
And here she is from the side. She has two pennies and two nickles inside for weigh, also a first for me, but if I did it again I would add more weight. She tends to fall to the side once I put the heavy hat on.
I used to use birdseed to weight some dolls, but when a mermaid was carried off by a rat, I realized that was a bad choice. Coins are a great idea. No wonder there’s a penny shortage.
From the title of this thread, I thought it might be an Arrested Development related craft. (They have a great joke about a woman named Lucille vs a loose seal in the ocean.)
She’s adorable! I had no idea seals were into pumpkin carving, so I learned something new today that I can dazzle people with at cocktail parties! (if that’s ever a thing again)
Clever to use coins as weights and probably less expensive than the things sold to be weights!
