Raedar, Maybe you can use fabric from bear fabric panels for it's fur. Have seen several realistic looking ones. I also like realistic nature scenes with wildlife. Finding fabrics that aren't cartoon-ish is a challenge but can be found. Recently cut a snow tiger panel to make realistic feathers on a snow owl

I would do a silhouette image as well. I think that would be the best route to take. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

I would do this as a mixed media project, batiks and couched yarn, making your squash etherial.

I am so excited to see how your wallhanging or whatever size you decide to do. My son who is 5 is a big fan of the finding big foot series and I know he will be excited to see what you do. Way to go for stepping outside the box and making something that is interesting to you and a lot of us.

I have never worked with mixed media but that is a perfect idea. I didn't know what couched yarn was but when I looked it up it is Perfect!
I wish I were a better freestyle artist I have so many images in my head for things and can not express......
