Henrietta the Duck is my last piece for the show. Henrieta the Duck is a working miniature toy. She is made from Shulte mohair and is 3 inches long x 3 inches wide. Her body is wired for strength and her wings are wired for posing. She is stuffed with excelsior and steel shot and wears a primitive sailor hat. When pushed, Henrietta's wheels simulate a walking motion.

hugs,

Brenda

Brenda, I absolutely have to have one of these one day! I would love a white one named Webster after our pet duck that sadly is no longer with us. This duck was the goofiest darn thing and I swear he was better then any ol' therapist. If I was having a bad day, I would walk out to the back yard and that silly old duck would do something to make me laugh! He even talked back to me...(he must have learned that trick from the kids...ha ha!)

Love these new little "walking" critters your making! Im sure they will be a HUGE success at the show!

Hi Kim,
Thanks so much for your kind words. These toys were very hard to keep away from our grandson - he wanted to "test drive" them all LOL! I keep meaning to ask you - do you live in the country? You seem to have a lot of animals!

hugs,

Brenda
