For Laura
created from her cross-cut mink coat
Laura has named her unusual skunk "Pepe" |
6 inches high while sitting |
Tail is 5 1/2 inches long Tail has wire armature to curve it but it is too large to allow the skunk to stand alone |
glass eyes embroidered, waxed, and sealed nose |
I tried to alternate the black and white areas when I was laying out the pattern pieces but once I stuffed the skunk the black and white blended into an overall grey color |
I added a white mink stripe to the tail to give it a more skunk-like appearance. The basic tail was created from the chevron pattern in the crosscut mink coat. |
7 1/2 inches standing |
I did not give this skunk my usual double jointed neck because I thought it would make the neck area too long |
I actually cut the pelt so there would be a white stripe down the back ... but when stuffed it became less obvious. |
