Commission - A Flying Lion

My friend, who really likes lions, asked me to make this and I'm quite proud with the result I've done feathered wings like this twice before, but it's the first time I made them foldable. The chain's there because she wanted to hang the lion to her car rearview mirror (once she gets a car).

Mainly used the felt from our local makers. It's a lot easier to use than Merino, but I did use Merino felt for the mane. Polymer clay claws and eyes, the latter glow in the dark. Feathers are cut from felt paper. Wire armateur makes him fully poseable.

I will probably open world wide commissions during October. I'll write about it in my journal if I do

and feedback are appreciated!
