Red the Chipmunk is made from a technique called needle felting, which involves poking and prodding different colours of wool with a very sharp needle until you reach the perfect shape. It literally takes hundreds if not thousands of pokes and hours to reach just the right sculpture. This is a one-of-a-kind soft sculpture and is made without a pattern.
MEASUREMENTS: Even though Red the Chipmunk hardly weighs a thing he is approx. 13.5 cm (5.25 inches) tall and has wire a wire frame and wire in his tail making him free standing. The stack of acorns consists of real acorn caps with felted dark mixed brown "nuts" and are all needle felted together forming a single structure. They are really cute to look at and come from a smoke free home but are not a children's toy.
Red the Chipmunk is reddish brown with butterscotch brown around his belly and on his paws. He has a creamy white belly and black and white accent colours forming two stripes going down his back. The acorns (which are firmly needle felted together) are a dark mixed brown colour. Remember different monitors may show colours slightly different then they actually are, but trust me, I've worked very hard in picking out just the right colours to bring these sculptures to life!
