Oh sure I can't wait to finish Sunshine! It's just that when I ordered the hair (from clothdollsupply) an error occured. So I have to check if the credit card transaction was done, if not I'll re-order it.
...sigh...
I'll have to put the nose and a ear too.

I know I'm looking younger than I should but... seriously... 13 years old... Maybe 15 but not 13... :stick_out_tongue:

By the way I covered the horns with orange fleece and painted the bases in yellow. I'm gonna post some pics soon as I can!

So, I posted some pics on photobucket, some of my sunshine puppet, two with hair samples for Nicky and an other one with painted horns on trekkie. We can't really see the yellow painting on the picture but on day light it's great!

What's next?
Hair, teeth, eyes, eyebrows, horns, eyes bags and the nose.

Hair: I'm gonna buy 4 feet of tony Hills purple feather. Here is the link http://www.tonyhill.net/item565262.ctlg

Teeth: I'm gonna put the last ones soon. Again in foam.

Eyes: I got the spoon and I will soon buy some pupils from craft king.

Eyebrow: Mendels just send me some fur samples for nicky's hair and Kate's fur and one sample is just perfect for trekkie's eyebrow. I'll try to ask them for an other sample and then I will assemble it with the rest of the eyes.

Horns: I'm waiting the hair to completly fix the horns on the head.

Eyes bags and Nose: I'm still confused on these ones. Next time I'll go on the big fabric store (in Quebec city) I'll check for fabric that I could use for that.

As you can see, Trekkie is almost done.
If you have better ideas for the materials, please tell me.

THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS!
Seriously thanks you for your help!

Update! Trekkie is going so well! So I did a few things since the last time:

All the teeth are on
I ordered the feather for the hair, there are coming soon...
I put temporary eyebrows
I made the nose (foam, fleece and paint) It's not stich yet
And the right hand is done!
