Cheese and mini hot dogs....not meat bon bons....

Felt crust braid. For a bilby pie. The bilby head is made from pastry coloured pastry, will sit atop a pie, kinda like a rabbit pie i suppose.

heads

Heads to be mounted.
I replaced the Spoonbill's eyes and have decied i will add mating plumage to his head.
Ghostbat has had some hair added around it's ears and on the chest region. For this I used Optim stretch Camel hair. Silky silky soft, reminds me a bit of vellus hair. Will trim it up when it's set/dry.
