DUFFYANTIQUES by Brenda Power

I have two pieces on hand that I would like to move on. At this point I don’t know if I will ever make any more bears/toys. Life has become very complicated with hubby’s illness and I don’t deal with stress very well. If you have any questions please feel free to email me here .

1. The first one is a tiny walking toy pelican named Polly. The pelican is a miniature working toy design. She is 3 inches tall and 2 3/4 inches long and made from cream German Shulte miniature mohair. Polly has German glass eyes and ultra suede feet and beak, which contains a tiny sculpted Fimo fish. She has a brass push rod and her feet go around, like she is walking, when pushed. Polly wears a tiny silk ribbon around her neck. POLLY is SOLD

2. The second one is a HOPPING BUNNY - This sweet hopping bunny toy is made from a gorgeous dense Shulte mohair that was perfect for this piece. His tummy and tail are cream mohair, he has molded, wool felt ears and a sweet, embroidered face, with nylon whiskers. Bunny is 4 1/2” inches long and 3 inches high and is stuffed firmly with excelsior and steel shot. His body is wired and he is mounted on brass axles and wooden wheels. His back wheels are offset, so he hops when pulled. Bunny has German amber glass eyes, an embroidered face with shading on his eyes ears and above his tail, to accent his features. He wears a red velvet ribbon around his neck and has a pull string. Scarlet actually fits well on the Hopping Bunnies back and loves to go for a ride. HOPPY is SOLD
