**The wire exiting the legs will be inserted directly into Haku's body before sewing
his legs on. I ended up folding the wire for several reasons: to shorten/adjust the
length as much as I needed, to hide sharp ends, as well as to make it a little sturdier.

Awesome! Needle felting always seemed like a good idea. I just haven't been brave enough to try it yet for
anything more than maybe a solid-colored nose or pupil. I'm too afraid of messing up but yours looks so
good that I might have to give it a shot again!
I can't remember whether it was a 3.5 or 2.75, but he is pretty small, about 2 ft when stretched straight. The
Shimmer yarn I used is pretty thin, so that probably contributed at least in part.
Wow, very careful. How do you wrap the ends and keep it from falling off the end?
I need to get some thicker wire; it's nice for some things, but I used it recently in a large animal, about 11
inches tall, and it really could bend so much more.
