She stands


Beast conquered.
Have never been so excited to finish something in my life. At one point there I felt I was never going to finish her.
While I've never been one for having a party around my birthday, I'm seriously thinking about having a giraffe finishing party.
And she stands, which I'm totally surprised by, as once I had the body under control, I was having real doubt about how vertically stable she was going to be ( she has a very long neck, and is a bit top heavy). And she's not even wired, i had thought about doing that, but tried first without it, because to be honest, I don't like putting wire in toys.
anyway I'm sorry, but you know I can't show you anymore of her because she's for the colab, yadda yadda...
and now I'm going to do something easy, an old favourite, with NO spots or colour changes, where I don't even have to think.
hope you have something to shout about today xo

I've forgotten to comment before, but I've been cheering on in the background as you've been making this giraffe - I love how she stands like a "just born" baby giraffe! xo

Ahhh... a giraffe. I was watching on guessing you were hooking up a cow!!! A giraffe is loads cooler.
