patchwork unicorn (grey and red)

February 25, 2007

Dscn0009_1

I finished this unicorn today.  I made him for a PTA fundraising auction at Roxanne’s nursery school.

I’m hoping that a unicorn will be appealing to preschool-aged children and their parents.

I’m actually not sure I’ll be able to to attend the event, though, because it is during nap time on the same day as Roxanne’s birthday party.

It was fun to revisit this design.  I added footpads this time, which is time-consuming but I like the way it looks and the way it makes her stand.  And this toy was a perfect excuse to use four vintage red buttons. Red is my favorite color.

    I’ve always loved your button-hinged pieces. And I love the way the red stands out against the otherwise neutral coloring. Fabulous work!
