Oh, I don't know, I think you are up for it! There is actually an OZ character sort of like her, only with even more legs! I keep thinking of silk knee pants with rosettes on the shoes, with a frilly shirt and a tailcoat that flows along her back. I suggest taping a form and cutting it apart to make a pattern! You have mad skillz! I know you can do it!!

You know, there are those little plastic gazebos people use for bridal favors that would make a great basis for a howda for her. You'd only need to make a sort of padded saddle thing.

That sort of thing.

Hmmmm... V V that's a definite consideration! Have to see if it will fit tolerably well on her horizontal back, which is smaller than it looks, as well as the sway of her upper back. At the very least I could cut it down to the top of the railing...Hmmmmmmm...

My original plan was the thick fun foam using a contour gauge to get the general body shape right.

re: clothing - I always overthink things. After sleeping on it and then taking a fresh look at her silhouette it dawned on me...

Bustle dress.

The best reason is that you like her and want her! Besides, when do we all really need a reason ;) ?


If all my money hadn't just gone to taking the state teaching test this reasoning would be all the push I needed to get an Alberta :)

I have a feeling she'll be around for a while... she's so exotic that folks just can't get enough of her!
