Yes indeedy, as of yesterday there is a body in my hall - going by the unconfirmed name of Manny Bootstrap... He arrived after a long weekend of creativity, culminating in 3 1/2 hours of hard labour - stuffing him with about 5kg of shredded paper bedding. Handsome guy tho he is, I really DO NOT KNOW where his living quarters will be!
I had an odd bit of foam for the neck lying around, just waiting for this kind of project...
After a certain amount of slightly mind-bending 'inside-out-ness' everything came out the right way round. But it was the ned of the day and I was, frankly, bushed.
At the end, one's pushing paper through a rather small opening in the cardboard bottom support.
Back-tracking a few days, it's a very well thought-out pattern with a central panel hidden inside, supporting the basic outline. The shape of things to come, so-to-speak!
Inserting the stuffinginvolved first of all fluffing-up the paper offcuts after their compression in the bale.
Paper everywhere of course, which eventually managed to find its way into every downstairs room...
And so... the big reveal: well, you saw the front view at the start of this post, but here's his rather splendid side view - zig-zags are so wonderfully slimming don't you think?
But....... where to put him in my rather overcrowded little house is going to be a real problem. Oh well, hopefully it'll resolve itself over the next few days - no doubt ;-)
