</SPAN>Very nice work. I know there was someone out there who made a Play
Mobil version of Groo along with Rufferto. That was pretty cool too. I think I
have images of it somewhere buried on my computer’s hard drive, but I do not
recall the original web URL.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

</SPAN>My wife also made me a Groo and Rufferto figure using a technique
called felting. Felting is basically where you take bunches of colored fibers,
preferably wool/felt, and stab them into another bundle of fibers or a piece
of fabric using a specialized needle with barbs down its length. The coarse
fibers tangle into each other and become more and more dense, and you can
shape them depending on how much you stab into them. It is a very tedious
process, and my wife pricked herself numerous times. I posted links to the
images of my wife’s creation, which were on my old web server. Unfortunately,
in January I switched to using a new domain name and server, so I have not had
time to upload all my old files to it. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Wingdings

</SPAN>I assure you the felt Groo and Rufferto definitely look cool. Others in
the Groop, who saw it, can probably vouch for it. However, something they can
not offer sincere praise to yet is another felt Groo felt figure my wife has
been working on, which no one has seen photos of. This time she is making The
Minstrel for Groo to have a human companion. To embellish it a bit more than
the previous figures, which were fully formed of felt, she actually is using
small jingle bells on The Minstrel’s jester hat. For those wondering what form
she will be putting on the end of his musical instrument (I always forget what
exactly it is supposed to be… a lute?), she is going to attach a bicycle. The
bicycle was my request, which should not come to much surprise to those in the
Groop, who somewhat know me. For those who do not… I live in
