Description
This little, old giraffe was inspired by an antique toy I saw recently. He was stitched on my old Singer treadle machine using osnaburg, which I painted then dyed with strong coffee, before baking him in the oven - he was not pleased about that I can tell you. I have then sanded him gently (which he quite enjoyed) to give him his aged and careworn look. He smells divine!
<br />
<br />Giraffe sits about 9" tall, and is about 12" tall when standing. He has button jointed arms and legs, vintage boot button eyes, a little rusty bell on string around his neck, and two tiny bells on rusty wire just above his mane.
<br />
<br />He is simply adorable (don't tell the others, but he's my favourite). He would look lovely on a bookcase, or amongst a collection of vintage toys.
<br />
<br />*Please note that he is intended as a collectors doll and is not suitable for children.
<br />
<br />If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch, Sarah x
