It is late, and I am tired, so I very hastily photographed the newest squshie prototype T-rex. Designed in 3d modeling software, cut from felt like a paper model, folded around some wads of re-purposed polyester 'snow', and stabbed thousands of times with a barbed needle.
String joints are working fine for his limbs but I have yet to make a head joint that isn't a wobbly mess, so the head and body are felted together. Still I think the design is just about right. I can't be bothered to format a blog post right now, so here's a pile of pictures, feel free to tell me what you think.
