Rubber Duck

eebrs · #1 April 30, 2007, 04:47 PM

Here's my newest project. I couldn't decide on what to do for eyes, and decided he was cute without them. The pattern is a little bit different (the beak and the body) than the duck in the picture. Please try it and let me know how it comes out!

I have never seen such a perfect rubber duck! And I think he's great without eyes.

You could paint on the eyes.
