Noah's Ark: Warthogs Next
Class Begins March 19, 2012
Join us for a full year of fun with our Noah's Ark series of creations.
Every month we'll feature a new animal or character set. The Ark itself will be
featured during the summer or 2011. All animals are available in 2 sizes,
so you can make either the larger or smaller version. Cheryl Moss will be
your instructor.
The Warthog is our second animal in the Noah's Ark series.
The warthog stands at 3" high and 4" long. The supply list is based on the
size as designed. The pattern may be enlarged but this will mean that the
supplies will also have to increase accordingly.
Techniques:
- Thread jointing
- An unusual head shape with raised eye sockets and inset ears
- Fitted Ultra suede tusks and warts
- Sewn in Hooves
- Needle sculpting of the head
Supply List for the pair:
- 2 squares Miniature velvet (9" x 9") are more than adequate for the
pair. I used Sassy Smokey Long Pile Tan fabric. (SMLP - Tan)
- 2 small pieces Miniature Velvet for the ears and nose (3" x 3"). I used
Sassy Long pile Blush for the female and a Cream Medium pile Cashmere for
the male.
- Black Ultra suede for the hooves and nose (3" x 3")
- White Ultra suede for the tusks and behind the eyes (1" x 1")
- Scrap longer pile black fabric for the head, back and tail (3" x 3")
- 1 pair black 6mm eyes on loops for the male and 1 pair black 5mm eyes
for the female
- 4 x 1/2" (13mm) joint discs for the head and 2 cotter pins
- A pipe cleaner for the tail
- Invisible or matching thread for the body

sculpting
