A small raccoon emerges from a tree hollow, eager to begin it’s evening adventure.

This needle felted raccoon is permentantly secured into a natural tree hollow and ready for wall mounting. The hollow is beautifully aged with a smooth satin-like patina and warm color. The raccoon has a wire armature and a solid wool core. The fur is a custom blend of fiber including merino, alpaca, corriedale, and yak. Hundreds of tiny fiber tufts were applied in a layered array and trimmed and sculpted with scissors, razors, and felting needles resulting in a natural looking pelt. The eyes are wool with a hint of iridescent fiber for a speck of natural light reflection. Each individual toe is wire wrapped with wool and secured with beeswax to create tiny claws. The whiskers are horsehair. The tree hollow measures 7 inches wide and 10.5 inches tall. The piece, including the hollow and raccoon projects 7 inches from the wall. Signed.
