Slightly smaller than life needle felt of Splash, my friend's beloved rattie. I tried to push a little more anatomy this time around, so I used a wire and foam base for structure and I'm pretty happy with it so far. Her tail is built around wire too, so it can be posed.
I will be posting some pics of the process on my blog shortly!
Edit: THANK YOU FOR THE DD!!! I posted a journal entry for more context, but basically the timing of this was perfect <3
If you want to see how I made her, check out either my FB page or my tumblr:

Awwwww this looks like my rattie Taka! ♥ She was a blue hooded rattie. Such a great little girl. ♥ I really miss her, but we had some good times.

And so nicely crafted, you got the joints of the animals really well.
