--------------------------------------------
Say hello to Henry. This beautifully made lamb plushie stands about 30 cm tall and is able to alter between basic standing and sitting positions. It was inspired by the Ryeland sheep and showcases a fur distribution that is typical for the breed, meaning that the entire body is covered by wooly fur, save for the ears, eye area, muzzle and nose ridge. The curly fur on Henry's body is greyish-brown in color. It has a silky texture and feels incredibly soft and bouncy. Henry has a dark brown face, with a slightly darker, v-shaped nose and golden slit-pupil eyes. His feet are the same charcoal color as the nose.
Henry is made in a lifelike style and features many realistic details. The muzzle, for example, has a slightly opened mouth with a little tongue, that can be tucked away inside it. The feet have been given just as much attention, and sport actual cloven hooves and petite dew claws. Every single one of these tiny details, as well as the collar that Henry is wearing, have been assembled by hand. All in all this highly decorative plushie is made from 80 handsewn pieces!
The Ryeland breed has existed for some 700 years and counts among England's oldest. Ryeland sheep were originally bred by the monks of Leominster in Herefordshire. The breed derives its name from the rye pastures, that were used as feeding grounds for the priory's sheep. In medieval times, much of England's economy was fueled by the wool trade. Back then, Ryeland sheep were considered to have the finest wool of all British breeds. The wool was in such high demand, that it became known as ”Lemster ore”. Even Queen Elizabeth I is said to have insisted on only using Ryeland wool, after trying on a pair of ”Lemster” stockings.
This plushie is ready to be shipped and will be dispatched within 2-3 workdays of purchasing it. It has been made in an environment free of cigarette smoke and perfume, but not entierly pet free as I have cats.
The body is made from highly realistic looking faux lamb's fur with a pile height of 15 mm. The smooth parts of the face are made with minky fabric and have a pile length of about 3 mm. The tongue and the insides of the ears are made from high quality velour. The nose and feet are made from synthetic suede, a fabric that resembles brushed leather and has a soft feel to it. The plushie has been fitted with plastic safety eyes that measure 15 mm across and are fastened with washers. Black imitate leather has been used to outline the eyes, in order to improve their shape and make them look more lifelike. Siliconized polyester fibers have been used to stuff the plushie. The legs have been sealed off internally with a layer of fleece, allowing them to be more firmly stuffed than the rest of the body. Plastic beads have been added to the tail tip and lower legs for extra weight.
The collar is fully removable and is available in three different colors. It is assembled from a beautiful jacquard ribbon with an intricate woven pattern. The backside of the ribbon has been lined with black fabric to make it more durable. The collar has been fitted with a 4 cm tall bell and a small heart shaped tag that says "Hand made" on it.
This plushie is best used as an ornamental piece for indoors decoration purposes. It is not suitable as a toy and should be kept away from young children and pets at all times. It can be used for play with older children if handled gently. Keep in mind though, that this is an artist doll. It is a work of art and not a toy. The plushie can't be washed if it gets dirty and may easily get damaged.
