Sometimes I Worked Big

 

This is my Cheetah, the body was about 3 feet long, with a 3 foot long tail. The fabric was black and white velours (belly, ears, muzzle marking and white chest) and a spotted print poly/cotton fabric.  I had the haunches go up high, could have thinned down the chest and belly, but overall I did like how it turned out, at the time, given my creature making skills at that point (around 1997).  I had to have one of those foot long doll needles to sculpt the face.  The eyes were safety lock style, about 28mm in size.

 

It's so sad, I used a LOT of stuffing on it, and ended up putting a $25 price tag on it!  It sold at Pennsic.  Ahh well, I do have a few pictures of it yet.  Lets me remember some of the one-shots.
