The looks02
After the workshop: a pale striped waffle-knit sweater with a dark elbow patch and soft rusty-ochre trousers. One paw supports a small tilted teapot, the other its seated lid, with no pouring water; the travelling tea caddy has been removed.
00 / Original form
Character starts with form.
A narrow, upright cocoon-shaped tea head with a broad, soft lower cheek and a continuous dark-tea surface. A pale face area, long flexible paws, a narrow body and heavy oval feet. Attentive golden eyes with a slight squint.
