It didn't gaze fuse some of the broken parts so I have a bit more gluing to do than id like. I ordered my felting wool today too, so expect a finished peice here soon enough. Pigbunny is so cute in red, with a lil glazed heart. I wanted to gold luster pigbunny but im broke and bright red seems just as obnoxious...

Out will come the rubber balls, flocking and rhinestones to make my most epic work yet. Poof is on standby but the Penisle is going strong!
