Who’s beady eyes are these? And no, it’s not a monster or an alien.
Is this a cute face or what?
I fell in love with this little cutie and just had to buy the pattern and make one.
Yes it is a snail, I know they are usually not well thought of as they invade your garden leaving their silvery streak behind them. But Shelly is just not that sort of snail, she is a loveable character created by Moji Moji Designs. Pattern link, there are smaller versions called Sheldon and Shelby too but I haven’t got around to them yet.
Here is a peek at the back.
And just so you can have a full 360 view, here she is from a side view.
I just love the frilly base, it really finishes her off and also helps her to balance.

She is wonderful. I love her frilly bottom. I can just imagine her slithering across to my hostas!

I tried putting crushed egg shells around my hostas to prevent slug and snail attack, lets hope she doesn’t get a scratchy bottom if she escapes!
