  Made from Schulte faux fur in a rich brown with pale tips.

                               

  Here he shows off his luxurious coat and punky hairdo

        He can stand but is still a bit wobbly - he needs his bushy tail to help him balance.  

    He prefers to be carried !

     

   He measures 14 cms high ( 5,5 inches) when standing. His limbs  and ears are Sassy Longpile velvet in a contrasting beige colour.  His markings are from handshading with oils.  

                

 Punkin is starting to look sleepy again!  Better put him back to bed.
