Over the years we've made several Native American (or Indian) critters, usually when an idea sprang into our minds. Warren saw some Seminole quilting in a sewing magazine (say this fast five times!) and the result was a Seminole panther. A spare fox morph and two days until the convention produced Guards the Grapes, a Mohawk fox.
Candy wanted to make a Nez Perce appaloosa, so Jackson Palouse emerged. He really did look quite a lot like Chief Joseph, too. Woolly Boy the Navajo sheep was one of the results of Candy's punning. So was Minnebaabaa the Hopi sheep. Shooting Bull the Rio Grande buffalo dancer was quite unusual. Punning Bear the Zuni has people fetishes on his necklace. Sacagaweasel wore a "buckskin" outfit made of ultrasuede. Johnny Ringtail was a ringtail cat dressed as a Koshare clown, since clown dancers traditionally have stripes. A buxom lynx became Sioux Kitty.
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.
