On my aforementioned excursion to Kinokuniya I had the great joy of finding this small hardcover Aranzi Aronzo book that gives instructions on how to make tiny felt mascots such as Rabbit, Kappa, and Panda "easily as well as amusingly." Indeed, they look like they'd be easy to whip up but I had a surprisingly difficult time. I think that this could be put down to the quality of the felt, the quality of the light, and my relative inexperience at working with truly tiny pandas.
Incredibly, the end result is exactly what Aranzi Aronzo promises! "Cute, strange, cool, silly, a little bit horrible, stupid and comfortable."
He's adorable - I love Aranzi Aronzo's quirkly little creations!

I don't think he is the tiniest bit stupid or horrible! He's adorable! We soooo have to visit on a day when photocopy stores are open(or the library!)! ;)

To me that kind of sums up the physical appeal of pandas. "Stupid and comfortable." I say that with love.
