Grasshoppers

My grasshoppers are 2" small and made from pale green ultra-suede, highlighted with airbrushing. Their limbs are fully jointed and the "boys" wear waist-tied trousers, a shirt, bandana and a 'tatty' straw hat whilst the "girls" have bloomers, a dress with a hand knitted shawl and a straw bonnet. Their antennae poke through their straw hats and their wings are made from silk organza edged and embroidered with silk thread. Each grasshopper is a little individual, unique and full of personality.

Eighty-Eight

4" (10 cms) to the shoulder Eighty-Eight is my new, tiny moose. He is made from long pile American upholstery velvet in chocolate brown. He is filled with a very fine grade steel shot,his hooves are made from kid and his antlers and muzzle are ultra-suede. He is fully jointed with a 'wobbly' head joint, and had a tufty moosey beard!

Although he is just a smaller version of Elgar he has a personality of his very own and is made from a more luxurious fabric - and he knows it!! His tininess detracts nothing from his moosiness!!

    Open Edition  $205  


Tomball & Tabb

A fine stripey pair of feline friends! Made from cotton fabric & ultra-suede they are both needle sculpted with embroidered silk noses, long black whiskers and wired tails. Tomball, 2" (5cms), has a liberty bell hanging from his tail fastened with black leather thonging whilst Tabb, 1¾" (4.5 cms), has his tail curled to entwine with Tomball's.

Open Edition $150


 

Needles & Sassafras

Needles and Sassafras are kitten cousins made from printed cotton fabric and ultra-suede. They are needle sculpted with embroidered silk noses and wavy, wired tails and they sits at 1¾" (4.5 cms). Whilst Needles sits patiently, Sassafras is posed scratching his ear!

 Open Edition       $85 






Elgar Die Fledermoose!

4" (10 cms) to the shoulder Elgar is made from a textured mohair and partly filled with steel shot. His hooves are made from kid and his antlers and muzzle are ultra-suede. He is fully jointed with a 'wobbly' head joint, and had a tufty moose beard!

Originally, I made him just for fun for me, as I have a passion for "Mooses" but the initial response to him convinced me to make more but to order only, as he is very involved and takes a long time to complete.

Since taking these photos I have added some ivy which I have entwined around his antlers to make him look as though he has just lumbered out of the undergrowth!

Open Edition   $205  

Hephzibah

Hephzibah is a primitive style pure wool felt Halloween cat with a hand appliquéd design on the front consisting of a 'scarey' tree, pumpkins, a spider's web, stars and a crescent moon. The hand stitched quote reads "Witches Cats Lurk On Hallows Eve" Hephzibah has a wired tail and stands at 3½" (7.5 cms)

Open Edition   $55
