Richie

Richie is a brown lion cub. He measures about 9,8“ (25 cm) sitting - without his ears.

His fur is a wonderful realistic looking plush. I stuffed him with natural sheep wool and some steel shots for weight.
His nose is sculpted of clay.
His eyes are of realistic gold brown German glass.
I needle sculpted his face and gently shaded his muzzle by hand to achieve a living expression. So he needed some whiskers as well…

Instead of a neck joint I gave him a lockline running from head to tail - like a spine.
So Richie can move his head up and down and side to side (and everywhere in between). A very realistic feature. His legs and his ears are wired.
I made his pink paw pads of suedette. Of course he received claws which I formed of clay.

He will come to you with his black velvet ribbon and his Certificate of Authenticity including a cute photo.

Of course Richie grew up in a smokefree home.

Please note: Due to small parts that could be swallowed, Richie is for the adult collector only and not suitable for children to play with!

Richie was not created of existing patterns, but designed only from photos and sketches, and exclusively by myself. He is completely handmade - a real OOAK.
