A-Chock-3-sm.jpgI've had squirrels on the brain lately, but this is an idea I've had in mind for years.  I'm pleased it's turned out exactly as I'd pictured and I'm happy to finally have this crossed off the list!

'Chock Full O' Nuts'

9" grey squirrel (plus 11" tail) made of Belgian synthetic with leather paws & eyelids.  German glass eyes, 5 disk joints and wired front arms.  the 'Chock Full O' Nuts can is an artist construct made of silver leather, with the label screened unto vintage silk bastiste. leaves are sewn of varying shades of leather, inc some of a cool metallic leopard spotted leather.  acorn and paw pads have magnets to hold in place.

(sorry the pics a bit over-exposed, I'm trying to get used to a new camera)
