tiny, tiny narwhal
A few weeks ago, I received an intriguing email. A pair of college students has plans to travel the world someday, and they want their own travel buddy, a “travelocity gnome” of sorts, that they can photograph in all sorts of exotic locations.
A narwhal would be awesome, they thought, but could it be made smaller?
How much smaller? I asked.
They decided they wanted it highly portable and pocket-sized… the rest was up to my discretion.
So pocket-sized it was.
It was really hard to let this little guy go out in the mail. He was really fun, although challenging, to make, and he was just so cute.
He even made friends with ninja bear!
And of course I had fun taking pictures of him everywhere.
But, alas, he is meant to travel the world. I can’t keep him away from his dreams!
So thank you, Beth and Tommy, for giving me such a fun project! I’m so glad you like your tiny narwhal friend. Have fun on your adventures!
Love this! :) Narwhal chillin on the couch – priceless.
That is such a cute story! Aw, I bet he has a lot of fun.
I love the couch picture too.Have fun narwhal!!!
Those are so darling!
Erin,
I think you just might have the coolest website in the world. Congratulations.

Ahh! This is adorable! I’m going to have make my own Narwhal. Perhaps some buddies for him too! :) hahaha
Just wondering… I just came across the page, and I’ve noticed all the whales and narwhals, and I have two boys who would love one. Do you have a tutorial anywhere for how to make them? I’d love to do it. But I haven’t found seen a tutorial yet.
Abigail,
I don’t have a tutorial for the whales or narwhals because they are available for purchase in my shop, Fluffyland.com. You are, of course, welcome to use my pictures/ideas as inspiration for your own aquatic creatures, but there is no tutorial. :)
=)
I have a friend, for whom this would make a perfect gift! How can I get one for her?!?!
What a great idea. The narwhal is too cute and its like you get to travel with them. Make sure they e-mail you pictures as well. I found you thru Stumble Upon by the way. A nice surprise.
