This guy here in the background (but in focus):

I'd like to make him a little newer, but keep his shape (you can't tlel from this pic but he has weird, box-like feet), and creepiness. Someone suggested sheared beaver fur. So I was thinking sheared beaver SCRAPS sewn together so you get different colors and textures thrown together. He'll need new stuffing too. And then maybe a fluffy rim to his hat there.
Before I go and post wanted ads for beaver scraps, what do you think of this project? What would YOU do to make him new, but still retain his creep factor?
