The Clown

18½" x 13" x 5"

Since I regularly make pieces with an odd shape, I had to go more 3-dimentional for this challenge, hence this piece, stuffed so it is basically the front half of an oversized clown head.

The head started with a plastic bag stuffed with Polyfil, then muslin sewn to create a starting shape, and then white cloth with a pattern of white stars on it. The lips and nose are red satin, the hair a mix of purple and green curly fake fur. The little hat is from scraps of fleece, with a cockatiel feather that our bird provided. The ruff was actually added a bit after the deadline, but that was what made it feel complete.
