| Not sure if I should share this... I made this dromedary during my teenage years and for many years it was stored (toghether with some paper dogs) in the attic of my parents house. Recently the house has been sold and now this little animal is residing in my apartment... looking at me.. What shall I do with it..  Inside it is a wooden armature, the body is pure old newspaper with wheatpaste. The hair is original camel hair from a circus around the block.  It measures about 82cm to the ears.  It needs some restoration though. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Thank you very much my friends! It's just an old creature I made in my youth.. Glad you like it though. :) The eyes are made of Fimo @Caracal. The sad thing is, I don't have the space in my rooms for this large animal. I already have another dog I made (Bullmastiff ?) hanging around here. I already gave away a Great dane, a beagle and a swiss mountain dog to a local pet shop for display. But who would take a camel... And my heart sticks with this one... |

| That's very impressive arts and craft work! Even with real camel hair. I can understand that it's not easy to let it go. Surely, someone must want to take good care of it. |
