This is Jean Luc, a debonair goose wearing a French sailor shirt, a beret and a dashing scarf. He is a wonderful little guy to give as a gift, to a daughter, granddaughter or niece, or to keep for yourself. He will always bring a smile to everyone! On a child's bookshelf, keeping guard over beloved classics and picture books, on a mantel by a vase of flowers, or among a display of beloved collectibles. He is of heirloom quality and will be enjoyed for years! He will arrive in a Kraft gift box, nestled in tissue, tied with baker's twine with a wooden cranberry. My clients have told me they love opening that box to see their little fellow peaking up at them! I love what I do,and try to share my excitement and respect for the art of handmade with everyone. Each of my animals is designed and handmade from scratch by my two hands in my smoke and pet free home based workshop in Michigan. Needle felting is the art of taking unspun wool roving, and poking it thousands of times with a special barbed needle to firm and sculpt it. He is 4 inches, ( 10 cm) tall. He has a wire armature within, so he is gently posable. His eyes are glass. Please keep in mind that he is an artist handmade collectible, and is not suitable for children under eight years of age, or pets. I will ship him in 7 to 10 business days.
