Materials and tools.
• For this iguana are used Alize Cotton Gold 180 yards (165 meters)/50 grams (1.76 Oz). This is just 55% cotton, for the best quality I recommend 100%.
• 3 colors or 2. On example orange, light beige and black.
• You can choose your style of the toy. For the back take lighter color then for the bottom side. Tail also can be crochet as combination of 2 basic colors without black color.
• I recommend take 200 grams for the bottom side and 100 grams for the back and 50 grams of the black color. If you don’t use black color take 150 grams of second color.
• Hook 1.25 mm, choose the hook for yourself. Crocheting should be very, very tight.
• Filler holofiber for stuffing.
• Flat pliers and cutters for wire and helping with sewing details and eyelids and mouth embroidery. Tweezers and wood sticks for stuffing.
• Steel wire frame 1,5 mm and adhesive tape for wrap the frame. I am using cotton medical tape – plaster.
• Black DMC floss threads for the mouth, long needle, minimum 15 cm in length.
IMPORTANT. You can choose your way for decorating your toy, with painting or without. I am giving in this pattern all processes. 2 techniques for painting and 2 techniques for sculpting.
Materials for painting.
• Soft pastel for body and acrylic paints for the eyes painting, metallic acrylic.
• Acrylic varnish.
• Brushes for painting, different sizes. Permanent markers, markers for sketching with alcohol base or textile markers.
• I mixed soft pastel and markers, you can choose one. The painting is very perfect for 100% cotton threads. I don’t recommend paint on the 100% acryl, and don’t recommend acryl exactly.
• Glass hemispheres for the eyes, diameter 12 mm. Or ready glass eyes with rounded pupils, gold, yellow or red color.
• White polymer clay for making eyelids. You can take only white color and tint it or you can take second color suitable color with threads, grey on example.
• And universal invisible glue, that not leave traces. I recommend Moment Crystal by Henkel.
• And medical cotton tape for wrapping the frame.
• Needles for sewing eyelids and for the mouth embroidery.
• Epoxy plasticine for the claws and scales on the back and head and for the cheeks.
IMPORTANT. You can use for the all sculpt details one material. Only polymer clay or only epoxy plasticine. Techniques are different. I am giving both technique in this pattern.
• Silicone brush pen for sculpting and modeling.
• Varnish for the sculpt details. I use UV gel polish and UV lamp.
IMPORTANT. Please, read whole pattern till the end for choose your way making this toy.
