Here's my latest softie. A present for a little month old baby boy Milo... It was meant to be a "as soon as your born" present but, it ended up being a "sure, it's late, but, hey it's your first "monthday"" present.
It was interesting making it as it is my very first full "3d" toy and and I decided to try fancy new tricks for the first time, like the hidden button joint trick (oooh aaaah how swish, you can find a tutorial here, it literally saved my life!!), why not a chest cavity with a heart trick and finally the embroidered name in glorious glow-in-the-dark thread (unfortunately, I'm not clever enough to be able to take a picture of it, but believe me it looks very cool.
As I was finishing the robot my lovely bearfriend asked me if I was't sad to let it go, I think that it was because I was hugging it every 5 seconds... Well the softie must be tested, right?
But, without thinking my answer was very simple, I believe that I created a "best friend", as I was sewing it all I had in my mind was images of potential Milo growing up and loving it, in a sort of "calvin and hobbes" way.
Maybe, I'm just hoping for too much, but, wouldn't it be great if the Milo-bot was properly loved?

Milo-Bot is wonderful. All he needs is a special friend, you can see it in his eyes.
Why does he keep his heart hidden behind a steel panel? Perhaps his master, a cruel factory owner, would have him dismantled if he knew what he was hiding. Only the master's lovely daughter knows his secret...
:) that's such a cool story, and only a cool gent would think of it. When are you coming back?
Right about... now!
There you have it. I'm back.
Truthfully, I am back in London now.
I knew that you were coming back, I just didn't know when. We must meet up, get all the old gang back together (minus Tim, he's having far too much fun in Vancouver)
Wonderful! Luky baby for having that present! Keep turning your good ideas into magic!!!
By the way, i´ve already posted certain fotos with a certain outfit...
