My Buddy Max the Chimp

Often times I make up dolls at work just kind of "as I go".  But with this one, I decided I was going to actually make a pattern and not just a doll.  So after watching a show about people who'd been injured by their pet chimps, I decided I'd make the safest pet chimp one could ever own!  It's been exciting trying to take note of everything I do to him and even more interesting trying to figure out exactly how I want everything to look.  He's just about done but, I haven't figured out how I'd like his hands to look. I figured I should take my time and really think about it because I'd previously made him shoes, which my 5 year old pointed out was ridiculous since chimps need their feet free to grab and climb trees!   Duh?!?!?!  Of course I had to go back and make him little monkey feet.  :)
