Gizmo is a special order created in the likeness of a very much loved
chinchilla (who is missing an arm and one toe).
He is made using a combination of
wonderfully soft synthetic fur, which has been lined (to prevent stretch) and ultrasuede (for the ears/pads). He has been
filled with polyfill, a bag of plastic pellets in his tummy and rubber pellets in his tail. He is 5-way cotterpin and
hardboard jointed and has wire armature in his body/tail and all four legs, including his cute individual fingers and toes.
He has black glass eyes with cotton cord representing the eyelids. His nose and mouth have been created using perle
cotton embroidery thread and his individually applied whiskers are made from horse hair.
Gizmo has been needle/scissor sculpted and has been extensively airbrush
shaded. He is more or less lifesized measuring 7.5" (to the top of his head, not including his ears).
