Melisa's Bears...

...is pleased to introduce an Adorable Miniature Pygmy Marmoset Monkey...

"Twiglet"

I'm excited to introduce Twiglet to you :o) He is a baby pygmy marmoset monkey who is hoping to find a new mom soon.

When standing, Twiglet is 4 1/2" tall.

Twiglet is a one of a kind (OOAK) artist pygmy marmoset monkey completely designed and handsewn (no machine sewing) by me, Melisa Nichols. He is very detailed and as such he is his own unique individual and can not be duplicated ~ a true one of a kind. Many, many hours went into this baby! I am no longer doing special orders and will not be creating another one like him.

Twiglet is made from faux fur.

Twiglet's adorable face is full of detail. His face has been carefully thread sculpted, scissor sculpted and hand shaded. While I sometimes use epoxy clay in my creations, I just wanted to make a note that I did not use it or polymer clay for any part of him. He has soulful black glass eyes and moveable eyelids so he can be posed awake or very sleepy.

Twiglet's hands and feet are very detailed and took hours to create. His toes and fingers are individually wired for posing and his pads have been carefully hand painted for realism. I hand made tiny claws for him from moose antler (these antlers were found by my family while out hiking and were naturally shed by the moose as they grow new ones each year).

Because of all this detailed work, I will never be able to create another pygmy marmoset monkey just like Twiglet. I do not have a pattern that I can remake him with.

Twiglet is completely handsewn and filled with polyfil, pellets (in his tummy), and an extra portion of cuddles. He is fully armatured (including his tail & ears) for lots of fun poses!

If you have any questions or comments about Twiglet, please email me me... I'd love to hear from you! If you'd like to be on my mailing list, please let me know – I send out an email whenever I have a new creation ready for ebay.
