This little guy is really hard to photograph. He looks so much better in the flesh (fabric?). The third photo is closest to how the colours actually look.
I think it's the high contrast between the black and white.
The black fabric is a fine corduroy that was actually a dark green that I over-dyed black. I was really lucky last week and picked up a MASSIVE pile of remnant fabrics at the thrift store for $5. Some of them had that musty-been-sitting-around-somebody's-house-for-a-while smell, but washing them in hot water and dyeing some of them made them like new.
[Had another thrifty score today. Picked up 11 DVDs, 9 hard backed books and an audio book for $14 at the library book sale. I love our library- it is actually recognised as one of the best in the country].

He is just adorable! And you scored big time at the library sale. I thought I was doing well today with 5 books from the second-hand bookshop for $13.50!
