Henry's Progress

This is how far I've got with Henry:

The beak is all tweaked funny. It's because I decided that instead of lightly stuffing the beak, which didn't make sense in my head, I'd lightly stuff the wattles. Apparently, that wasn't the best idea. Whatever.

Here's the thing: panels seem like a great idea, but what if they print off-grain? or what about having something with a different texture? I think that's my main complaint with panels: lack of texture.

On the plus side, you could, theoretically, trace or copy the pieces before you sew them up, and then you also have a pattern.
Have I ever really done that? Not so much. But I could. Which is what matters, right?
