More Narcissus

The following photos show different parts of Narcissus after he had been stuffed.





To help him stand the legs each contain a 15cm 
dowel.
The back was left open for stuffing and then handstitched together.

Narcissus - face and feet!

Before stuffing the feet, I glue a piece of foam inside each sole to give a firmer base to stand on.
I used yellow T-shirt fabric to make his face. Here you can see the beginning of the face painting.
This is the back of the face. I have used small pieces of stuffing to shape the nose and cheeks. Then the whole of the face is backed with lightweight iron-on vilene.
Here is the completed face with golden embroidered eyebrows and eyelashes.
And the whole body waiting to be stuffed.
