    Help! Gonzo!

    Floral spray paint works well on foam. Try hyacinth as a base colour and touch it up with navy acrylic paint

    Help! Gonzo!

    I find ebay is a great source for furs and fabrics, especially if there no stores mear you. I ised navy sherpa fleece for my Gonzo but it was a little dark. I dont think there is an easy, ready made option for his fur, it will require some form of treatment to get the texture right :-)
