Aslan

I'm hoping my latest creation needs no introduction, I can't think of a single animal that can be mistaken for a male lion.  He is a special order.

Aslan has been created from a combination of Schulte synthetics and hand-dyed mohair (for the mane and tip of the tail). He has been stuffed with polyfill, rubber pellets in his tail and a bag of plastic pellets in his tummy for added weight.  Additionally he has internal wire armature in his limbs and neck/back for posing.  Each paw has been needle sculpted and has individually applied stuffed ultrasuede pads (including, the carpal pad and the dewclaw pad on the forepaws).
 
Aslan has beautiful high quality realistic glass taxidermy eyes set into specially constructed eye sockets ringed with waxed cotton cord.  His nose has been sculpted from polymer clay, shaded with acrylic paints and sealed with a matt varnish.  His mouth is constructed using perle cotton thread and his whiskers are horsehair.
 
He has been scissor sculpted and lightly hand-shaded on the face and body using an airbrush. There is an Arcas Designs fabric tag sewn in just under his tail.

Aslan is a large cat measuring approx 19" from the tips of his ears to the base of his paws and 22" from nose to bottom (not including his tail).
