Opal
by Yanina Link
9.8 inches (25 centimeters)

Like 6

Opal is a white lion cub. He measures about 9,8“ (25 cm) sitting - without his ears.

His fur is a wonderful realistic looking plush. I stuffed him with natural sheep wool and some steel shots for weight.
His nose is sculpted of clay.
His eyes are of realistic green German glass.
I needle sculpted his face and gently shaded his muzzle by hand to achieve a living expression. So he needed some whiskers as well…

Instead of a neck joint I gave him a lockline running from head to tail - like a spine.
So Opal can move his head up and down and side to side (and everywhere in between). A very realistic feature. His legs and his ears are wired.
I made his pink paw pads of suedette. Of course he received claws which I formed of clay.

He will come to you with his black velvet ribbon and his Certificate of Authenticity including a cute photo.

Of course Opal grew up in a smokefree home.

Please note: Due to small parts that could be swallowed, Opal is for the adult collector only and not suitable for children to play with!

Opal was not created of existing patterns, but designed only from photos and sketches, and exclusively by myself. He is completely handmade - a real OOAK.
