This is just the prototype. I am going to Joann's in a few hours for more wool, ntot sure what color, but I will get whatever says Merhorse to me, lol! And I think I am going to get some of that funky frilly yarn (unfortunately not wool :() for the manes. But this is a general idea. I ogt the pattern from ebay and the actual size should be over a foot long. It took me about an hour to figure out how to resize it on my copier, lol! Other than the changes I am making, I am pretty happy with them :)

Super-cool! I love it!

That proto told me it wanted to swim rght over here and be my friend:lol:

But WOW Bonnie..what an awesome merhorse!!:drop:

Thanks :happy:

Kenna has claimed the ptototype because ... it's PINK! But I am sending you the prototype marsupial dragon. It's not great by any means, trust me, it was giving me fits, lol, but I am hoping Lorna can give it a good home ;)

Wow! Another great swap I missed....<waa!!>

Oooooh, aaaaah, I likey!

ooohhh....more great ideas for my ocean critters unit.

does this group ever do a pattern swap? seems like with all the creativity I've seen so far you all could write your own book!

any chance you'd be willing to send me the pattern?

oh a pattern swap might be tootally fun:jump:

I would feel kind of funny copying and sending the pattern out because I bought it from another wahm (well, I don't know she is a mom, lol) on ebay. It's not like it's from a book that anyone could take out of the library, kwim? Then it wouldn't bother me.

I actually wouldn't be able to send out the original pattern copied anyhow, because the actual pattern is for a stuffed animal over a foot long. I had to scale it down a lot, then last night when I started working on the ones for the swap I used the scaled down pattern pieces for the legs, underbelly, and head/neck gussett to make one single piece to attach to the body pieces.

Oh, but a pattern swap would be really cool! Just with our own patterns or patterns that are public domain ;)
