Cooper - Lion in OD and Black

So, I held a drawing for someone on a forum I frequent to win a lion. Jonathon's name was drawn and he wanted a lion in OD and black. So I made him up and named him Cooper after Jeff Cooper. I think he's cute. :)

Another lion - pink and purple version

A friend of mine wanted me to make her granddaughter a lion. The girl's room is pink and purple and she wanted her to have a pink and purple lion. Here is what I came up with. I used Caron Simply Soft and a G hook.

Leupold is finished and waiting to be played with!

So I finished up his muzzle and made a tail.

We have a mane - well, sort of

I was able to make his ears and get some of his mane on. As you can see in the second picture, it's not quite done. ;)

Wednesday Leupold progress

Today I created his muzzle and face, put on his eyes and created the bridge of his nose and the nose. I also "embroidered" a mouth. I don't embroider. Scott's not liking the mouth. I may scrap the mouth. We shall see. I'm thinking this guy needs fur. :)

Leupold has legs

He can sit now!

Leupold

His name has changed! Scott decided he liked Leupold. Here he is so far, and Logan LOVES him. Silly guy. I have him sitting next to the pattern with a picture of a finished product. We'll see how close I can get it. ;)
