A narwhal for sis

The next edition of felting joys is here! My sister just returned from Germany and she came back loaded with presents for me. Yep, that's why you need a sister :P I bought her some gifts too. But then, nothing beats a DIY right? With my new found crafting talent, I had to make her a felt doll (coz she asked me to :S). I wanted something cute and magical. I think fairies and unicorns are all over the place. I wanted something different. I kept poking around and there it was! A narwhal!! As per wiki, the narwhal, or narwhale, is a medium-sized toothed whale that possesses a large "tusk" from a protruding canine tooth. Now let me warn you. A narwhal is a scary looking creature and nowhere near cute. Look below if you don't believe me.


However, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder they say. Proving this right, the creative people around the world have brought out the cute side of the narwhal. And although, I haven't heard of any magical stories associated with the narwhal, its prominent tooth is treated like a unicorn's horn, just to give it a magical touch. Based on the template from here, I made this enchanted creature! Hope it brings lots of luck and a big smile on my sister's face :)
