Here he is, hiding in the garden. Its Luca the Lion my Softies for Mirabel entry. I have no idea if I'm way too late but he'll be making his way to Pip today.
Regular readers will know that I started making a turtle for my Mirabel entry. Unfortunately, the poor turtle requires more adjustments, his legs/feet are too long and seem to stick out at awkward angles and his head actually looks better around the wrong way. The poor thing needs a bit of an overhaul and I don't have the time or the patience to do it right now. So, along came Luca. He's a cuddly little lion who loves to chase butterflies and nibble clover. My kids love him so I'll be making some little lion friends eventually. I'll post pictures of them.
EDITED: Luca the Lion is now up for auction on eBay here. All proceeds go to The Mirabel Foundation. Auction ends 3 August 2008.
