A few of you saw my recent post about making a giant Fluttershy. I've figured some stuff out. I found some great yellow minky to use here: http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=52a44945-d559-40e2-93e6-a63a49606354 (a href code isn't working)
I will use armature wire, found
on this websiteI may also use craft beans in her hooves to help her keep her balance. Do you suggest I use those? I will use wire to style the hair. The hair will also be made of minky like
this or this:

Which shade do you like better? I'm thinking the Baby Pink is a bit more accurate, but I can't be sure.
As for the wires, I'm probably not using something as think as armature for the hair. What would you suggest?
I also need help with dimensions. I am planning to use
this and
this...except supersized. The full plushie will be 3-4 feet tall.
The tail will use the same sort of method as the mane.
The eyes and cutie mark will be embroidered. I'm new to embroidery, however. Does anyone have some kind of tutorial on embroidery or embroidery eyes (doesn't matter what style)?
Any tips?
