That's my drawing for a sea-horse soft toy for a -not-so-newborn baby of a friend. I'd love to hear your opinions.

I'm thinking of using two or three different fabrics and satin tags for the fins, perhaps some yarn as "hair".

I know seahorses have spikes and baby would love them, but I doubt I can realistically tackle that level of sewing detail.

What do you think about the overall shape and size? Or anything else I haven't thought of?

Edit: Working on the picture issue, please hold... :) Edit 2: Picture uploaded, typo corrected.

That looks great! I think the really curly tail would be very interesting for a baby (you can pull it sideways but not uncurl it).
For the spikes maybe get some pleather or plastic-y material? That should hold the shape and add another interesting texture. Also replace single spikes with a zigzag shape, like the dinausors.
