Making it up as I go along. So far so good!

I had a terrible time with the ears, but finally hit on a solution that worked out to my satisfaction.

I decided to make the legs (and arms) extra long with very knobby joints. It gives him a bit of extra giraffe-y charm.

My niece, who absolutely loves giraffes, is beside herself over this one. Especially since it is one of a kind and just for her. :)
