Fennec foxes are among the cutest animals going. They're so cuddly and fluffy. Warren happened to see a bird land in the fennec enclosure at the San Antonio zoo, and those cuddly little fennecs quickly divvied it into about 5 servings in just a few seconds.
A couple of years ago we tried making realistic fennecs. I cut out pieces for three or four of them and bagged them ready to sew. Before we could sew them, however, our two kittens found the bags and chaos ensued. It's a good thing we decided the pattern was basically unusable, because Sunspot and Nebel shredded the bags and jumbled all the pieces together. So when I wanted fennecs again, I chose morphs. We spent quite awhile discussing other possible costumes for a "desert fox" but nothing else had the identification value of the Afrika Korps. I spent a couple of hours sewing the hat alone. The uniform insignia are photo-reduced onto iron-on transfer paper and appliqued to the costume.
Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemal plush dolls and animal character figures are original soft sculpture designs, individually hand crafted in California by the Stuffe Staff. While we do have some stuffemals on hand, we usually make them on order, so delivery time for your plush doll will be two to eight weeks. Construction and material details vary depending on our design goals for the character involved and the materials on hand. The plush figures are constructed of mohair, wool, alpaca or high-quality synthetic faux fur. Clothing and costume are also hand-made by Stuffe & Nonsense; jewelry and props are from diverse sources. Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemals often use glass eyes or small parts and are not suitable for young children.
