Since it's almost Easter I wanted to show off one of our southwestern desert babies, the jack rabbit.  They are rightly named because their huge ears  grow up to 8" long resemble that of a "jack ass"  They do serve a function besides hearing, they help regulate their body temperature in our extreme summer heat.

Heber, and his hare friend Cottonwood are both named after towns in Arizona.   Heber is 13" tall, he is made from soft dense alpaca, needle felted facial features, waxed nose, taxidermy bear eyes, detailed leather paw-pads, and a double jointed neck for lots of cute posing.  Cottonwood is needle felted using alpaca.  She has been brushed  trimmed, and shaded to give her "fur".  She is actual baby bunny size at 5".

I will be listing them on ebay for a week.  Here is their link

Amazing set Joanne!! I love them!! Those paws....WOW!!!!     

Thank you all, for taking the time to comment.  It really makes my day.

Kim, thanks for the paw complement.  That is what takes me the longest when working on a bear.  I don't know why, I am obsessed with the paws, always.

sonblestbears Mar 31, 2009

It truly shows Joanne, your bear's paws are always so detailed and realistic...they always catch my eye!  :clap:
