Raccoons

I created 6 Baby Mink Raccoons and they all found new homes quickly !!!
Sorry all of my Baby Mink Raccoons have been ADOPTED.

Baby Mink Raccoons

Even though my "Baby Mink Raccoons" have been one of my most requested creations for many years   it has been 3 years since I have offered one for adoption. The last time I made one was in 2010. During that time I have been receiving requests from my collectors to make more. Well, here they are! I have made 6 raccoons to offer to the collectors that are on my "Raccoon Waiting List" ... all who have been patiently waiting for a very long time.

Why did it take me so long to make more? First, I ran out of gray mink and had to find some good vintage gray mink. Then it was a matter of finding time in my work schedule as I have been receiving more and more requests about my "Custom Teddy from your Mink" service. And now that I have finally made more raccoons I now remember that creating these little creatures is not easy... and I have made it even more complicated by re-designing the tail. My raccoon pattern is now 43 pieces !!! So making each raccoon is like putting together a three-dimensional puzzle.



Features of each Baby Mink Raccoon:


  • hand stitched vintage gray, white, and black minks
  • 4 inches (sitting)
  • 4 inch long hand painted tail
  • 5 inches standing
  • black glass eyes
  • 7 joints, including a double jointed neck & tail
  • embroidered, waxed, and sealed nose
  • leather paw pads and feet
  • wire armature in arms, legs, and tail
  • gently hand painted details
  • will arrive wearing a handcrafted glass necklace (removable)
  • Adoption fee $375 USD (plus shipping ... and tax if in California)
  • Layaway available

    If you would like to adopt one of these raccoons 

    please email me with your choice and I will send you 

    a Pay Pal invoice with the shipping charges for your location.
