Moochie the two-toed sloth

 
Moochie is a special order baby Hoffmann's two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni). She was created as a special order to accompany Lento the two-toed sloth I created at the end of 2013.
 
She has been created using Schulte synthetic fabrics with ultrasuede paw pads, snout and eyelids.  She has a nut & bolt jointed neck and cotterpin jointed limbs with wire armature in her arms and legs to allow her to hang out the way a real sloth should and to snuggle up with Lento.  She is stuffed with Bouncifill. Her eyes are high quality glass taxidermy eyes ringed by stuffed ultrasuede eyelids, her nose has been sculpted from polymer clay and the mouth from perle cotton thread. Her claws have been created from Apoxie sculpt.
 
Moochie has been extensively scissor sculpted and she has been lightly airbrush-shaded on her face and claws. There is an Arcas Designs fabric tag sewn in under her bottom.
 
She measures just under 7" from the head to bottom.
