CD-WIP update
He is not finished yet. I spent about 4 hours brushing out his hair with a slicker brush, then trimmed it up a bit.
I will probly brush it some more and give it an other trim later but for now I will leave the hair as it is.
I still need to work out a pattern for ears, and decide if I want to add in a eye lid or any other details.
Sadly I didn't realize how heavy his front end would be so I can not put him in the pose I had planned. Which would be a springing spiral pose as if he was getting ready to launch himself into the sky his top end is just to heavy and the wire is not enough support. So I know now if I make an other CD I need to either double up on the wire, possibly twisting it cable style for better support or get a thicker stronger wire that might be harder to manipulate.
At some later point I am going to play with posing him and see if I can come up with something I like better then this pose.

Wow, Sara - even unfinished he looks wonderful - I'm now going to be impatiently waiting for you to release the pattern! :)
