Mounted Popkle Creature - day 10

Happy, happy, joy, joy!!
I was undecided about mounting the head from Day 9 or creating a body to go with it, but instead came up with a fabulous compromise..... Mounted half body!
The arms have a wired armature that allows some movement, and can be gently shaped. He looks a bit sad when his hands are clasped in front of him!
This Popkle is mounted on a 4x4" canvas. His nose is a tad wonky, but I'm going to call it "character" :)
Would love to hear any comments, suggestions or tales of your own recent "accidental wonders"
"Want a hug?"

  1. He is adorable. Mounting half the body was definitely a good choice. I like the articulated arms and hands. I think it would be really cool if the canvass he was mounted on was painted or had felt added to it to look like his cave or the woods.

  2. Thats a great idea! I have already been thinking of a 'Popkle attacking a city' type one, but exploring different backgrounds for these would be a good challenge too. :)
