Chihuahua “Bublik”

Name: Chihuahua “Bublik”

Edition: one of a kind
Size: 35 cm

Used materials: alpaca mohair

Eyes: Bublik has soulful black glass eyes with movable upper and lower eyelids

Nose: realistic epoxy clay nose, it was hand sculpted and painted, then sealed by me

Mouth: an open/close mouth with leather tongue, hand sculpted and carved epoxy clay teeth.

Claws: hand sculpted and carved by me from epoxy clay

Joints: 5-way jointed, lock line inside for realistic posing possibilities, armature inside ears

Paw pads: each paw was needle felted with hardening technique from high-quality wool to give them a more realistic look, then shaded

Used techniques: sewing, felting, sculpting, open-close eyes and jaw

More detail: “Bublik” has moveable upper and lower eyelids, and can be posed awake or deep asleep. He has also open/close mouth; his ears are wired and can be posed whatever you like. He is made to stay on his four legs, lay or sit. Because of all this detailed work, I will never be able to create another dog like Bublik.
