My attempt, I used an 11" round to start and the shape of head was wrong.

Then went for a 16" which formed a more rounded head shape.
The ears were wrong on first picture, then a bolder mouth and eyes.

I really liked making this Charlie Brown...and he makes me smile every time I walk past him.
It was good to try out different raisen twists.
I'm very happy how he turned out.....the pattern on jumper needs to be less inflated though.

For my next challenge I wanted to do artist Naos Mickey Mouse. I love the chunky head and feet.
He has made many variations on Mickey but I like this one.

Well...this was a challenge indeed!
I remade head twice and still nowhere near as cute as Nao's.
Plus the shoes were second attempt too.
I decided to make Mickey in black and white for a retro look.

I enjoyed this one, I think I have enjoyed them all to be honest.
At first I was not keen but it's an interesting concept trying to
re-create a design from someone else.

Trying to make it look exactly the same.
Although I do steer off on occasions, this was my first attempt.

I made a variation on a theme, I was curious about the head/hair structure.
Plus with a little artwork.

I tried making her with a 12 inch round for the head...Graham didn't use a 12 inch....but I Definately prefer it made without the 12inch blush.
Plus the teddy was quite technical mine needs tweaking 😀

Graham Lee

I then had another go at making the design but it
looked more male like so went with it.

As Danielle made the teddy I thought I should give it a go.
It was a little tricky getting the head shape.

I was not too keen on these challenges at first, making others designs.
But have to say its turned out very interesting trying to re create or
make a variation on a theme.
