i hope this image isn’t too big…okay, so i made him from a feathery fun fur yarn i had on hand and wondered why i had even bought it, but it looked fantastic. i did a freeform pattern, gave him really long arms and no legs, i am thinking of building a little wheelchair or cart for him. i made teeth out of some moonstone (?i think) chips i had, although as you see in the last photo, which was him before i added the nose and mouth, i wasn’t sure if i should have added teeth or a snoot. i will do another without the mouth i think. and then i made the little vest and cuff from felt i dyed myself, and plan to dye more to sell, i keep meaning to see it and then i use it. i trimmed the fur around the yes and mouth and hands. i really dig him.

so, wolfgang is a parapalegic. he lost his legs in the war between bears and smurfs of 1983. for this reason, he hates anything blue and due to his shell shock, will go crazy if he sees anything blue. so be warned. additionally, he has a severe drinking problem…nehi grape. he drinks so much that he is now diabetic. don’t try to talk about it to him. he will call you a smurflover. he loves listening to mozart on his “cans” or giant headphones, because that is his namesake. he plays the triangle in a local softy orchestra and teaches reading to illiterate housepets. he loves playing with matches, so be careful. he loves to burn matzo. he says he loves the smell.
