He turned out adorable - very cute!

I wonder if it would be possible that you could find some examples to follow somewhere on some Disney sites on the internet - might save you quite a bit of $ over buying all the books - then you could use the $ for other sb supplies!

You do beautiful work, and I see no reason to race, the pictures will keep, and if you ever get all caught up you will have nothing to do but post to this board like me. I have finished 32 yrs. worth of memory books, and can't get new ones developed fast enough. I really enjoyed your first attempt, and think you have a future in paper piecing--you never know where your talents will come from. Nancy

Thanks! I came up with the pattern from a huge "how to draw Chip n Dale" book at the craft store. i also bought the one for daisy and donald, and mickey andminnie. every craft store has a selection of how to draw books! i looked thru it and thought they'd make excellent paper pieceings. it is about half the size that the scan turned out.

it took me about two hours to figure out how to do the pieces, since I've never pieced before. It probably would have only taken an hour or less to figure it out if I had done it before. then cutting and putting together and drawing was probably about 20-30 min?

i think the next characters i make, will go faster cause i have a better idea how this works. I'm going to do a Chip as soon as i have the right color of papers for his hat and jacket.

I can't draw very well, but with the color drawing right in front of me, and it ws the same exact size as my pieceing, it wasn't too hard to draw the details. outlining each section in black helped it too!

i loved making this guy. as soon as i have the right colors of paper i'm gonna do donald, daisy, and then get a book for pluto and goofy. i also might get the aladdin book, i have several pics off me with those characters. course doing this for EVERY page might get rather time consuming, but unless it's mickey/minnie or tigger/pooh, the characters the other ones don't have alot of scrapping supplies for them. and i love getting my pic taken with the characters!

How adorable, I love the pen work. How much time did he take? Where did you get the pattern? Thankyou for providing the link to share your work. I loved it!!!!!!!Nancy
