Make Piggie!

November 18, 2005

Dscn0002_10

After the fish incident I felt that I should follow through on Roxanne’s request that I “make piggie.” I added a second pants fabric (salvaged from Charlie’s pajamas) to make a “belt” for this rather portly pig. He has cherry woven ribbon suspenders with big red buttons (sewn with metallic thread) “holding them up” on the front

and little pink buttons on the back. I think his ears are pretty nifty – like little flaps. I always struggle with faces and recently every face I’ve made has been this sleepy look, which I’m actually happy with. It’s easy and fail-safe and rather innocent looking.

    Love piggie! I like the way he’s sort of holding his suspenders up with his little arms.
