...is excited to introduce a miniature recycled mink fur Emperor Penguin Chick!
"Wibble"
~ * ~
I'm so excited to introduce Wibble, my first penguin chick!
At 3 ¼”, he is a fluffy handful of love :) I hope you will think he is as much of a sweetheart as I do!
Wibble is so much fun to pose and photograph!
Wibble is a one of a kind artist penguin chick completely designed and hand sewn (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!
Because of all this detailed work, I will never be able to create another baby just like Wibble. I do not work with patterns - just from photos and drawings, so there is no pattern he can be remade from.
Wibble is made from gorgeous recycled black, white, and silver mink fur. His fur is completely lined.
Wibble's adorable face is full of detail. His face has been thread sculpted, scissor sculpted and hand shaded. He has soulful black glass eyes with moveable eyelids so they can be posed open, closed, or in between. I created a realistic epoxy clay beak for him.
Wibble's ultrasuede feet have individual epoxy clay claws, which are painted and sealed.
Wibble is completely hand sewn and filled with polyfil, pellets (in his tiny tummy), and an extra portion of cuddles :) Wibble has a cotterpin and disk neck joint. He has armature in his legs and wings for lots of fun poses!
For his photo shoot, I posed him with some pebbles from our river, they are not included.
If you have any questions or comments about Wibble, 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.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing all of Wibble's pictures. Thank you for visiting him here!
*******************************
Wibble will arrive in a special box with hang tags that include his birth date, a picture of him and a signed Certificate of Authenticity. He is a collectable baby bear cub made for display only - not suitable for children due to small parts.
