I was gifted a really nice, quality 12" tall art mannequin a few years back, and was saving it for a special project. Finally I decided it was time to make something for fun in the middle of all the current chaos (good chaos!). This Arigo art doll's feet, hands and head are all sculpted right over the mannequin itself, while his tail, wings and floof were made with felt and needle-felted wool. I sewed his pants as well, which is pretty exciting considering how awful I am at sewing XD Every joint remains totally pose-able, and his wings are as well! His tail can lay flat against his back or flop back against the ground if he's sitting. Arigo can also stand without any weight issues making him wobbly, which was my major concern. Hooray!!
This project really helped me get my groove back after a 3-week long, all-day-every-day needle-felting marathon! Having my little muse around sure helps :3c
I'm very tempted to try making a little stop-motion animation with him haha.
