Walrus Carpentering
Walrus-watching
Constance’s walrus obsession has not abated. She can’t help sneaking looks at the live walrus-cam in Alaska, and being impressed at the lugubrious ungainly terrestrial locomotion compared to their grace and buoyancy when swimming! Click here for the live walrus Cam, but beware… you may become addicted to them too!
Table
Quimper Hitty human made a special little bedside table to celebrate Constance’s dedication to wildlife.
Faux scrimshaw
A disc of decorated fimo was inserted into a perforated disc-shaped piece of fibreboard and this assemblage glued onto a cotton reel…
Sweet Dreams
Now Constance will have sweet walrusey dreams!!

Faux scrimshaw..just perfect for Constance’s bedside table! Very clever and quite artistic! I’d say talent, unlike walrus on ground, runs in her family!!!!
Thank you – we both like the result! It took a few tries to get it right. Maybe it took perseverance as much as anything else!
Great use of materials with a touch of walrus.
We love furniture made with cotton reels! It was quite a production though – the hard part was getting someone to cut the fibreboard the right shape, but then making the fimo to fit in the doughnut hole was easy…The walrus-design was suggested by Constance.
Nice! Must check out that walrus-cam…
I just fixed a broken link to the walrus cam – hopefully it is working now, though the sun isn’t up yet in Alaska as I write this! It should be nice and walrus-y pretty soon…
What a perfect bedroom for Hitty Constance! She must have read the book several times and suggested the way she wanted the bedroom decorated.
I think so too! She loves the Hitty book (and walruses, and whales…)!
Constance you are such a clever girl! Love the table and love the pics of Constance enjoying it!
Constance thanks you – she is certainly learning a lot about walruses! She loves her unique little table, and doesn’t want to cover it up with anything!
