Snow Leopards

[ericadawn16]

Obviously, you can guess which one is named Ianto Jones. Ever since I noticed how BuildaBear had the waistcoat with tie very similar to what he wore in COE, I wanted to make a Ianto. However, they're kind of expensive and although I've always had my eye on the Snow Leopard, it hadn't happened. Then, I found a naked BAB Snow Leopard at a thrift store for a dollar! Thus, he was named Ianto and I bought him the upper wardrobe.

Unfortunately, BAB recommends a pair of trousers to go with it that look awful. They have a METAL button! Seriously, how is that supposed to look nice? On the other hand, the trousers that come with the Jonas Bros. outfit? Nice! This week, they're on SALE! My mom took the shirt for one of her bears and my Ianto is now complete...except for shoes but... (shrugs)



Did you notice Ianto's friend?
He's an Animal Kingdom Snow Leopard from Expedition Everest. They started making him in March because in March, all wildlife donations benefited the Snow Leopard!

When you're at Animal Kingdom, you can give money at most gift shop registers to the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund. It can be as little or as much as you want. As long as it's something, you get a pin. You get a free pin while the animals and scientists get the help they need, it's a WIN-WIN.

For more information on this cause, including what they did with the money made during that first week run of Oceans, read this:

That is so dang adorable! ♥

You know, I've always wanted to try building a bear at a BAB workshop myself. But I'm too dang embarrassed to. I keep getting scared that little kids or their parents will give me weird looks. I'm such a coward. >_

Oh, no, no, you should! But if you do feel a little embarrassed, try going during the school year when they're less busy, like on a weekday morning. The first time I made a bear, it was me and three friends together making our own bears.

Aw, that sounds like fun. Someday I'll do it. I just gotta drag a friend along with me. ^^

Now that's an awesome thrift store find! I can't imagine who would want to give up such a cute Snow Leopard, but I'm glad you found him. He looks so cute in that suit! It makes me want to make a whole cast of Whoniverse BABs. :3

whole cast of Whoniverse BABs.

Now that they've done Star Wars. they should do that now...or at least Jack's coat, plus braces and a bowtie.

Bowties are cool.

Oh, if we still had a sewing machine, I would make it happen! I'd even make a little fez for 11.

Yes, yes they are.
