Gavin is 16" long (depending on how you measure – on all 4’s, from tip of nose to tip of tail, he is 18" ) and about 13" -14" when seated on his haunches. He is fabricated out of 2 shades of Tissaval faux fur with a leather nose, top-appliqued tapunto leather paw pads, stitched leather claws and eyelids over German glass eyes. Gavin has a complete neck and spine with 14 additional joints, pose-able paws and wired ears. Gavin started out as 1.25" long fur and was extensively clipped, shaved, scissors-sculpted and airbrushed to achieve his finished form. Gavin Grizzly comes complete with the kit shown, a silver leather trashcan and assorted leather ‘tin ‘cans with vintage labels scanned and screened onto silk batiste.
