Hello Folks

I make catnip toys and design them myself. They are made of felt and stuffed with organic catnip. They are very cute and people buy them when they do not have cats. I make snakes, mice, fish, bunnies, Scotty dogs and hearts. My next quest is a reptile but I am having problems with my design, as I am not the greatest artist. I am looking for the body I have the head. I want to make one with the usual arms, legs and tail and I will sew on some details to make it funkier. Thee reptile will be 2 dimensional I will sew 2 pieces of felt together and insert the neck to the body. I have given some of my toys to a few members of DC and they love them.

Are there an artists out there? Can someone please draw a reptile for me? I only need the shape of the body, no details. The body would have legs arms and tail all in 1 piece. I do not want to make separate legs and arms, as there is a lot of work involved.

Dimensions:

The head is 1.75 long (without tongue) and it has a forked tongue. I am using my snakehead as it looks like a reptile. It is heart shaped at the front and the tongue situated in the centre of the large circular part of the heart. The head does not go to a point it has a neck.

Body 3 - 3.5 inch long x 2 inch wide, with the tail reaching another 1.5 inch. The neck of my reptile is just under 1 inch wide. I am not looking for an exact copy, just cute caricature. I have looked on the Internet and found some gifs but none are taken from the top. Maybe 3 fingers and toes I do not want it elaborate. If anyone has any suggestions or wants to help please email me. I can email photos of my snakes and reptile head on your request.

I make these toys to pay for my rescue kitties and donate to 2 cat charities that help pay for vet bills for others that do not pay. In the future I want to make a foundation for animal eye surgeries, once I pay for my new cat Leonard. The reptiles are going to be my premium product, which I will charge more for as they are going to take at least an hour to make each one. I enjoy making these toys and have saved many pets with the funds I make and not only my own cats.

Payment: I do not have much to give only thanks but if you have cats I can send a gift of my catnip toys to you.

Hello: I forgot to mention that if I folded the body in half (lengthwise) the legs and arms would be the same. When I cut the body out it saves time as I fold the felt in the center. This allows me to cut one leg and one arm and when I lay flat I have all the arms and legs. There are no odd shapes and the reptile will be exact when I sew 2 pieces together. I hope this information is not confusing....
