Almost done...

I've been working on that Quirky Lion... and he is moments away from being finished...

First I added some button eyes:

Then some nostrils and a raggedy mane:

And of course a tail:

But there was something that I just WASN'T loving about him...

 It took me some time, but eventually I figured that the problem is the face...

The detail of the face is kind of getting lost in amongst the mane - so I needed something to make it POP some more, and figured the face would look better against a plain light coloured background.

I love this effect...

Work in slip stitch through the back loops only, using a contrasting colour:

And see how clever it looks when you turn it over:

Now to add the eyes and nostrils...

And stitch the new face to the lion...

I'll try and get some finished photos to share tomorrow!
