Pelican! Yes! See my hand for size reference. He didn't take particularly long to make, although I will say the dark brown eyelash fabric his body is made of is a PAIN to work with. I also had to vacuum a lot. (He is really soft though ) Materials: safety eyes, minky, craft fur from *BlowtorchForce, eyelash fabric, embroidery thread, felt (inside the feet for reinforcement)
So many of you I'm sure have heard of the ridiculously disastrous oil spill. Whenever I see photos of the poor pelicans all oiled up and sick I want to cry, and I really wish I could go down there and help clean them... even if most of them die from the poisons in their systems afterwards. Instead, I made Tony.
The plush you see above WAS made with the pattern (I *did* add embroidered detail on the wings, feet, and the yellow tuft on his head).
If you do buy the pattern and make your own Tony the PeliCAN (hurr see what I did there), tell me! Send me a photo! I want to see! I'll put your name here!
Aww Suza! you are such a good person!!I'm from New Orleans so it means a lot to see how much you care! ah, and if you were here they wouldn't let you help clean them anyway!> so you are doing way more for the effort than ppl actually from here! that aside, I can't believe how beautiful your plushies are! they are so well made and adorable! I looked through the rest of your gallery! you could be the beanie babies of the 21st century!
8D! How adorable, glad to see my fabricses used in this little guy.
And aghjkg. I know what you mean about those poor birds. ;w; I saw Rob's post about the photos a bit back and god.... I fail to see why they let the spill go on.

And what a ginormous pelican. The words 'badass' and 'pelican' do not normally go together, but I think they do here.
