Beige Mink Mouse


ADOPTED



Please note: the photos that I took indoors with lighting (with white background) seem to show the actual color of the mink a little more accurately. It is a hard color to describe, but I will try: it is a darker beige ... more of a golden light brown. It is a beautiful color and the fur is so very soft!




Just for fun I've added some Halloween props:
An acrylic Halloween canister
A Halloween EEK ornament
And a butterfly costume:

I've made Butterfly costumes for my Halloween mice:
Blue Paisley wings that can be worn by mouse with cording that has adjustable sliding knots,
so wings can be worn snug or loose


Features of mouse:
  • hand-stitched vintage minks (Color: Beige)
  • 5 inches standing (4 inches sitting)
  • glass eyes, black
  • ultrasuede nose
  • leather ears and tail
  • gently hand painted details
  • 7 joints, including a double jointed neck and a jointed tail
  •  ultrasuede arms and legs that have been needle-sculpted
  • wire armature in arms, legs, and tail
  • stuffing: polyfil, plastic pellets, and a few bbs for weight

Custom teddy and companion puppy

For James
from his beautiful gray mink stole

The original order was just for one teddy (pattern #1) 
but that only used about half of the mink stole
so when James requested a companion for the teddy
I just had to recommend a puppy.
(Actually I designed my puppy pattern originally to be a companion to my teddies)
This is the perfect pair!
Luckily the mink stole that James sent was perfect to create this pair
because I can only create this puppy if the pelts that I have are
thin full pelts with dense hairs ... 
and that is exactly what James sent me to work with.
This was my ideal pelt and it was a pleasure working with it.
I am very pleased with the results and I hope that James will be too.









Features of puppy:
Hand-stitched
Glass eyes
Embroidered, waxed, and sealed nose
Hand-painted details
Stole lining used of inner ears and paw pads
6 joints including a double jointed neck for a charming head tilt
Wire armatured in limbs for gentle posing
7 inches (standing straight up)
5 inches sitting or standing on all fours

Custom "Sister Bears"

For Carol and Joe

Sister Bears created from family heirloom mink jacket



Teddy #3625


"sitting blankets" for teddies created from a special dress and the coat's lining

Teddy #3626


My apologies to Carol and Joe because I did not see my notes to myself that Carol requested either ultrasuede or leather paw pads instead of the usual paw pads that I make for my custom teddies which is to use the mink garment's lining. So sorry, but your sister bears still look wonderful!
