I did the tiger first, and didn't get chance to take any pictures of the work in progress - but here are some pictures of the lion in bits before I sewed it up.
The mane was interesting - basically a loop stitch, which seemed to go on for ever and was really hard to keep neat. It ended up looking a bit like a wig on the underside - maybe I have a new career ahead of me!?
Here is the finished lion, I think he looks kind of cute frolicking in amongst the crocuses!
Here is Tim the Tiger, having a snooze on the bench after having frightened next-door's rather macho cat, Gizmo:
And finally the two playing nicely together:
I really hope Ben and Luke love them as much as I do - thinking I may have to make a lion for myself!;o)
