My name is Viktor!

This is the last of the kid gifts.  As I said previously, my creativity when it comes to normal looking dolls or bears or such is really not great.  But let me do a monster or strange type creature?  Very cool!  I went through my scrap pile and came up with a black corduroy and a cool grey blue green cotton.  I layered the cotton on top of the corduroy and stitched it down to give the body of the creature some interest.

I then went back into my scrap pile and used a tattered cashmere sweater, ribbons, and leftover pieces of a different cotton for the hair.  I sewed the body together with the hair inside.  Turned it.  Stuffed it and added red and purple eyes.

My name is Viktor (with a good thick Transylvanian accent).  I have red and purple eyes that will see through all!

And outrageously gorgeous hair!  (Yes, he is little bit vain).

I live in this faboooolous birch tree bag!

I enjoyed making him.  He has lots of character!
