Rearview Mirror Dangly

[dei-pazzi.livejournal.com]

I have a fondness for sea beasts, so when I thought of making something interesting to hang from the rearview, a sea serpent seemed like a great idea. I made him of fleece, with interfaced flippers and fins. Topstitching was a pain, because the machine doesn't do very neat lines, but it was difficult to maintain a presentable line on both sides when I handstitched. 18ga floral wire was inserted into the body so that I could bend him into a proper undulating form, and elastic cord gives him the loop to hang around the mirror. Nifty!
