I worked on this camel for quite a while and I’m satisfied with her. She’s nice and tall (about 9") and she has a good heft and she stands really well. The camel toe helps. I put a gusset on the top of her head and another one on her hump. That would be a hump gusset. I like saying that – hump gusset. And she’s a dromedary, just one hump. Ask Roxanne about this and you’ll get a nice lecture about the difference between a dromedary and a Bactrian camel. My little professor. And Charlie would like you to know that he was the one that pointed out that the vintage "Nowell’s" patch is perfect for a camel. No wells. And I just selected that patch for its colors. It’s a family affair around here.

He captures the camel pose perfectly ; slightly aloof, knows he is beautiful … I can’t help loving him.
