BEARS, BUNNIES, BIRDS  AND  OTHER  ANIMALS

Edward Tulane

This bunny was originally designed as a special order for a granddaughter who read and loved the book  "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane". 

Trying to stay true to the description in the book, Edward measures almost 36" from feet to top of ears.  In the book Edward was porcelain with fur ears and tail.  My version of Edward was made with a cloth face and limbs but painted and coated to resemble porcelain.   His clothes are removable and his fur tail sticks out beyond the opening in the back of his pants. 

I do have the Edward in blue made and ready to go; the red one was previously made and sold.  After this Edward in blue is sold you would need to contact me to place an order.  For special orders, please allow at least 4 weeks for delivery.  All inquiries are welcome since shows and workload vary.

Edward is $135 plus shipping; shipping of the other rabbits were around $16 with Priority Mail.  Book or chair not included.

 

This Edward has dots to represent whiskers which is an option and one I think is better than the nylon whiskers to the right in red.

This was one version made as a special order for Christmas to a 9 year old who wanted Edward in his red suit.

      

A Velveteen Rabbit isn't just an Easter item; it is associated with a child's book by the same name, and would fit in with eclectic or antique furniture.  

The exterior fabric is tan velveteen with the inner ear a think pink wool.  They measure 6" at the highest point on their back and 12" from tip of tail to tip of nose.  Each rabbit has black bead eyes and embroidered nose, with rayon ribbon around the neck. The carrots are made of felt with a little needle sculpting and homespun for the carrot tops. Sold separately, each rabbit with a carrot is $30 (shipping to be added). 

 

Egg in a basket ~  The egg is hooked using 1/4" wide wool strips with a solid piece of pink wool on the back and is stuffed with fiberfill.  It measures 7.5" wide and 9" long and comes with the basket.  Egg in the basket is $35.

Bunny with egg ~  The bunny is 19" long, painted with acrylics and lightly sanded.  She is holding a smaller version of the egg which has been stuffed as the larger one was.  Bunny has button eyes, embroidered nose and tho it is hard to see, she has sisal whiskers. Bunny and egg are $55. 

The egg in a basket and bunny with egg may be purchased separately.

This standing Velveteen Rabbit is holding a little strawberry and sitting on a tuffet.  From base to top of head it measures 8 1/2". 

Not only is this a cute decoration but can also be used as a pincushion.  Another Shari Lutz inspired design, the standing Velveteen Rabbit is $45 plus shipping.  

 

Mama Catz and Kitty Catz are up for adoption.  Mama is 19 1/2" tall, feline Kitty is 9" tall but from top of ear to bottom of skirt she measures 12".  A Shari Lutz design, these cute felines may be purchased separately, Mama is $50, Kitty is $25 plus shipping

Painted cloth Panda bear with sweater vest

They look like Ying and Yang, but they're really Harley and Andy Pandy.  Harley is dressed in green and Andy in red. 

They are 16" from toes to ears, made of cotton they have been painted with acrylics and stained with an antiquing solution.  The vests are sweater knit with button closure.

Sold individually for $40 each + shipping.

 

A Primitive Cat Cushion (pillow) I fashioned after an early 1900s pillow as shown in the book "Seasons" which was in the home of Messrs. Cramer and Johnson's Seven Gates Farm in Maryland.   

Made of woven wool with embroidery floss embellishment, the cushion/pillow measures 17" across from left to tip of ear on the right and 12" top to bottom from tip of ear to tail.

This could be used at Halloween and all year round.  $45 plus shipping. 

 

Ester is made of peach mohair, has glass shoe button shank eyes, embroidered nose & mouth and has 5 joints (arms, legs & head swivels).    Ester measures 15 1/2" long (stretched out) from top of head to the feet. 
 
Ester sits in an olde timey Easter basket with 3 vintage Easter post card copies, a vintage oval doily, 2 olde little Peeps and 4 vintage looking paper covered eggs. 
 
If you want to give a special non-candy  gift to a child, something that will be a collectible, or if you have a college student who needs a special Bear Hug, then Ester and the basket  contents will be a good choice.  Ester is $95 plus shipping. 

Babe is a jointed blue mohair bear.  Her bow is a delicate piece of vintage fabric and wears pearls.  With her also comes  the vintage basket, old tea cup, dainty napkin, doily, copies of vintage photographs and post card.
