no pinkeeps, pillows or frames allowed!!!
I want to see different, unique & inventive finishes for him, and I know you can do it!
how about nailing him to a board?
lining a bowl? making a candle wrap?
topping a box? lampshade? wearable art?
I have faith in you...and can't wait to see what you come up with...

Love this guy Lori!! And he's definitely going on my dance card - but I don't think there's any chance of me getting him done up for your challenge as we are in travel mode this month for Little Crow's knee issues and surgery..... But thanks so much for sharing - and will definitely be watching for some amazing finishes. (Your "helping hands" finishes are absolutely precious by the way....) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
I love a challenge! Hope this doesn't keep me awake tonight, but I already have a few ideas brewing!
I started him today and have a fun finishing idea for him! And for once I am keeping something for me! As a shop owner I don't do that much, but he is so cute and I am excited about my finish! Thanks!
Amy

Love this design Lori! Thanks so much for sharing! Can we use a different needle work medium and tweak the pattern a bit? I have a idea...
