Small decorative animals made of cotton wool on wheels.
Inspired by vintage toys, these little animals are an original and refined decoration, ideal for decorating a child's bedroom. The small wheels are made of wood and really spin, but they cannot be used to move the object as they are only decorative and not perfectly aligned. For each animal you can choose whether to receive it as a support with or without a chain or to hang.
These little characters are born from my imagination and are created in several phases. Every little detail is designed to strongly characterize the characters.
It will be a precious gift for you or someone special. Usable all year round, it will make a nursery or a delightful corner of the house special. One will be enough to embellish your tree and your Christmas or Easter decorations.
Each object is a unique piece. The subject you will receive cannot be identical to the one shown but only strongly similar.
Dimensions: approx. 6 x 8 cm
The consistency of the object is similar to papier-mâché, but it is a very different technique. The toy is light and resistant, hard to the touch and with a very material aged texture. If it were to fall it will not break, however pay attention to small applied details which could come off.
It will be shipped protected with paper inside a small box. The attention to detail in the packaging will make the gift even more special.
The technique used is ancient and was born in Germany in 1800. It is the use of cotton wool to make small ornaments and toys. In my personal reinterpretation I use wire to create the soul of the object, and I model it with fabric and paper. This way I can also recycle the small cuts left over from other jobs. The character thus formed will be covered with cotton wool, colored with acrylic and/or oil colours, decorated in several phases and subsequently covered with a transparent opaque varnish for protection. The whole process takes days. The created item is light and strong. Nonetheless, close attention must be paid to the small details, accessories, and additional decorations that it may have.
It is not a toy, and is therefore unsuitable to be handled by children.
