albino-squirrel-w-oak-7-sm.jpgalbino squirrel with oak branch
I really wanted to capture a squirrel perching in a tree, but didn't want to do a huge piece with a heavy base, so I fashioned a 14" 'floating' oak branch instead. constructed of leather over a wire armature (each leaf is wired also), the branch can be posed, viewed from all sides, and also positioned on it's side. the 20 leaves are done with 2 subtle patterns of metallic leopard print leather & 2 shades of gold and brown, each leaf meticulously machine embroidered and top-stitched

the 10" squirrel is constructed from super-dense Kravet upholstery faux fur with a 12" tail done in lush Belgian synthetic.  pink leather paw pads and eyelids over antique pink taxidermy eyes, ivory leather claws, 5 disk joints, 8 mechanical joints, magnets in paws (& in one leather acorn) and a full locline spine.

bear_wub Thanx Kelly, that sure is one beautiful white squirrel.  My love for squirrels had me tested this past week, I had the unfortunate task of capturing some squirrels that decided to live in the rafters of my garage.  I captured 4,  one a day and relocated them about 10 miles away in all different places.  They were young grey squirrels, not as wonderful as yours.  Thanx for the mention.
Great work as usual.
