Gray Bunny

This is the first bunny that I've made with gray mink.

The mink that I am using is a beautiful color and it is dense and soft. It took me TWO HOURS to take the gray mink jacket apart because it had layers of lining that had to be carefully cut apart. But it was well work the extra work because the pelt underneath it all was in great condition!

Red Mink Birds

After this Cardinal was adopted and named "Spirit" I updated it
with more intense black accents (painted) on face and top of wings

Each bird is a One-Of-A-Kind

I have been saving a few scraps of a beautiful bright red sheared mink jacket from many years ago. I had a special request for a red mink bird (originally requested about 5 years ago) ... well, I finally found the time and inspiration to design a bird pattern based on a red cardinal. After I started to hand sew the bird I remembered why I never did anything with these scraps for the many years that they were sitting in my supplies ... the pelt was so thick that I had to hand sew using a pair of pliers to push the leather needle through and then pull it out of the pelt !!! Needless to say that it took an extra long time to hand sew. Nevertheless, I was so pleased with the first bird that I had to use the rest of the scraps to make a second bird. Each bird is similar yet different ... each is a one-of-a-kind.

  Red Mink Cardinal Bird (#3532)

 Whimsical Red Mink Bird (#3533)

Both birds are available for SEPARATE ADOPTION

Both Birds are on temporary RESERVE 

Update: the Cardinal was quickly adopted so I will be sending "Adoption Invitations" to all of my collectors on my General Mailing list for the Whimsical Red Mink Bird. 

(I will be listing the Whimsical Bird on it's own page so I won't be confused with the already adopted Cardinal)

My first Blog Post of 2013 !!!

My first creations of 2013

Typically, I make one creation at a time

But with the disruption in my house with things like

getting new roof, changing our entire living room, 

solving some minor plumbing problems ... and a few

other unexpected problems that needed solving I got 

so far behind in working on my Custom Orders and 

Special Requests that they started over-lapping. As

a result I ended up with several creations on my

table all waiting to be finished at the same time.

Here they are ... finally:
