Smoky leopard
This hand-made felted sculpture of a wild cat is made with love and great attention to detail. During work I use high quality wool and threads of mohair. This means that the toy has a knitted basis. My methods include knitting and dry felting. The structure of the wire inside the doll allows you to move the paws to the kitten. The tail on the wire frame is completely mobile. Wool of various shades is uniquely intertwined, creating a realistic impression of natural animal hair. Hair can be combed carefully with a brush for animals. Hand-painted eyes. Claws are plastic.
This is an exclusive work of the author in a single copy! The toy is designed and manufactured in accordance with the author's technology. I see photos of real animals, I do color sketches and try to repeat the shape and shades of a real animal. I choose the best materials for making dolls, which are extremely realistic. To make a realistic sculpture, it took me up to 30 working days. Size: length from nose to tail 20.5 inches. Height 15 inches at the withers to the ears. The length of the tail is 20 inches. Weight: approximately 4 feet. Please note that the doll is part of the collection of works of art and is not intended for young children. Use only a dry brush (animal brush). The head of the toy has only one position and remains stationary. All my things are done in a room free of tobacco smoke.
The toy is very elastic. But at the same time it is more durable than a conventional toy made of wool. In order to change the toy position, you need to exert a little effort. Bend and stretch the legs in the right direction. Since the toy has a knitted pivot base, it is easy to operate. To care for the toy, I'll send an animal brush. I will also send you a passport for a toy with the signature of the author. The real color of the element may be slightly different from the pictures shown on the site. This is due to many factors, such as the brightness of the monitor and light.
If you have never bought a toy made of wool, please contact me before purchasing if you have any questions or doubts!
It is a felt toy, which differs significantly from a fur-sewed toy.
