I created this great white shark for my
son's 14th birthday. He provided me with an annotated drawing to help me design his ideal shark. The most important
attributes were a flexible tail, an open mouth with lots of sharp teeth, lol!
Since I haven't made any claspers this shark is female.
She has been created from airbrush shaded white cashmere fabric with an ultrasuede mouth. Her filling is polyfil with
a small bag of glass beads for added weight. She has a wired jaw, body/tail and pectoral fins for strength
and poseability. Her eyes are black glass and the gills and nostrils have been embroidered with perle cotton. I
decided against giving her blood stained teeth but chose to go with glow in the dark teeth instead. :D They were created
out of Fimo polymer clay.
She measures 18 inches in length and is 6 inches deep (to the tip of her dorsal
fin).
Duh duh, duh
duh.........
