I like it. Something in its face reminds me of a koala...

Those eyes do look startled. But heck, I'd be startled too if I found myself in that position!

I would not even know how much time to guess. I am sure it took a lot longer than normal because it was my first time.

The red panda actually would make a really nice mask sporran. Giant panda might be a bit on the heavy side.

Just a recommendation on the eyes. yes, they should be solid black, but if you cannot change this at this point, put some very narrow eyelids on him. Sew or glue a piece of black fabric/felt/leather as an edge at the top and the bottom of the eye. That should take the "shocked" look out of it.

Please go easy on me as it is my first time. It definitely does not look as good as an L&M or Thorfinn, but I thought it turned out o.k. I might use different eyes next time, but not sure. I learned A LOT! This is definitely a craft that takes quite a bit of practice to get right. Anyways, here are a couple of preliminary photos. Let me know what you think.   | Beautiful work. at least those eye will keep the pickpockets away | | |
