nascha_gallery_03.jpgnascha_gallery_02.jpgnascha_gallery_01.jpgHi everyone!  I just finished my latest commission work.  I was asked to make a baby owl, and this is the result.  She is made of super soft & fluffy muskrat fur (recycled) and has open/close eyes.  I individually hand carved her beak and claws from found (while hiking) moose antler.  Her head is jointed & the rest of her is armatured.  I'm just in the process of finishing her pics and making her a web page, but couldn't wait to share her on TT.

Hi Birgitta!  :hug:  That's an early Sunday morning!  Here it is 10:22pm Saturday evening.  Thank you so much for the compliment on Nascha.  bear_original  It would be neat to make a bear making book, but I don't think I could really add to the great books already out there and all the great info here on Teddy Talk!

What a beautiful little baby,  I am an avid birdwatcher and all around bird lover and this little girl has stolen my heart.  Muskrat fur is so beautiful and wonderful to work with, and it was just the right fur for her.  As always you have done wonderful work
