Humph, the camel
Been a while..... but here is my second camel. I have called him Humph as I thought that was a mighty-fine camel name!
Humph stands 9,5 cms high. He is made from a soft, tan, longpile cashmere with sparse longpile chosen for his ears. His scruffy neck and tail have long strands of mohair and alpaca rooted into the coat.
Humph has large German glass eyes which are fringed with sooty eyelashes. His face has been extensively needle-sculpted to create his unique facial features and give him a slightly regal bearing. His long floppy lower lip gives me a smiley, happy expression.
An internal, wire armature helps Humph to stand firmly; allows him limited movement and aids in posing. His head swivels from side to side thanks to a cotter-pin joint. He has been stuffed firmly with polyfibre from his head to his hump to his cute, camel toes.
This camel is destined to travel across the seas to a special person in the UK.
Please email me if you'd like to order a camel.

His
camel blanket has been embroidered in colour-fast DMC threads with
cottons, perlé thread, silks and metallic thread; and adorned with
beads and tassels. His bridle is mustard-coloured ultraseude and the reins
are plaited DMC.

I believe people are battling to leave comments.....I'm hoping I have managed to fix this glitch now. Your comments are appreciated and valued!
ReplyDeleteHe is so detailed, I had to get my ruler out to see how little he is. I love everything about him. His blanket and accessories, everything, so well done.
ReplyDeletethat makes my day Joanne. Thank you so much. Praise from you is the highest praise indeed.
ReplyDeleteHumph would like you to know that he is happily settled in the UK with the three bears and his English cousin.
ReplyDeletePS He stands in pride of place in my consulting room and brings me inspiration. I love his colourful camel blanket and the soft whispy hair on his neck ... and symbolically I hold him very dear to give strength to those in the desert. THank you for this treasure from the bottom of my heart xxxx
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome. I am happy he is with you! xxx
