met 'Buzz' a tufted-ear red european squirrel. I've done as few squirrel kits before, but Buzz is the first grown-up I've attempted. I meant to just make him a few leaves & an acorn, but as you can see, I got a little carried away. . .
8" squirrel (plus 9" tail) sitting in his own little stump. squirrel is made of belgian synthetic fur, with leather paw pads and eyelids. he has a full neck, spine & locline tail, 5 disk joints, wired front arms and magnets in both front paws.
9"x7" stump, grass,leaves and acorns are constructed of leather, using real acorn caps. 2 of the acorns also have magnets embedded in them. leaves & acorns are loose for the client to strew about at will.
Kelly,
This is wonderful! I love him. Your work always amazes me.

Kelly,
This is a beautiful piece, the stump, leaves and acorns are wonderful. I love red squirrels, I'm trying to make one myself at the moment as it happens, no stump for mine though, he'll have to be happy with just an acorn or hazelnut, lol.
