Meet Meadow the horned Jersey calf! This beautifully made cow plushie stands about 32 cm tall. It is made from pale brown fur with flat laying pile, and sports many handsewn markings. It is made in a lifelike style and features many intricate details, such as tiny baby horns, realistic cloven hooves with dew claws, and a detailed muzzle with proper mouth and nostrils. Every single one of these tiny details, has been assembled by hand. All in all this highly decorative plushie is made from 105 handsewn pieces!
Meadow is inspired by the Jersey cow, a British breed of small and dainty looking dairy cows, that originate from the Jersey island. Little is known about how they got there, but DNA analysis suggest ancestral ties to Asia. The milk these cows produce is unusually rich in butterfat, making it great for rich dairy products like cheese, butter and ice cream.
This dark eyed breed comes in almost every shade of brown, combined with lighter coloration around the muzzle, eyes and lower parts of the body. The nose is always dark in true Jersey cows. Meadow is a fawn-colored Jersey and features all of the above mentioned markings, along with a black tail tip and dark feet.
This highly collectible plushie will be created upon order. It will be made in an environment free of cigarette smoke and perfume, but not entierly pet free, as I have cats. As with all the items in my store, this plushie was originally designed by me, and it will also be reproduced by me. A lot of time and effort goes into making a detailed plushie like this. Particularly into the muzzle and feet, which contain tiny parts that are notoriously hard to assemble. Once finished, this plushie will stand about 32 cm tall and measure around 41 cm from nose to butt.
The main portion of the body will be made from two shades of highly realistic looking flat pile fur, with a pile length of up to 10 mm. The fur that will be used for the head and neck markings has a slightly longer pile at 12 mm, which will be shortened. The furry crest around the horns will be made from wiry looking faux fur, with a pile length of about 20 mm. The tail tip will be made from slightly wavy, mongolian style faux fur, with an avarage pile length of 70mm. Minky will be used for the furry parts of the muzzle, and high quality velour for the tongue. The front of the nose, horns and feet will be made from faux suede, a fabric that looks and feels like brushed leather. The plushie will be fitted with plastic safety eyes, that are fastened with washers and measure 14 mm across. Imitate leather will be used to outline the eyes, improving their shape and look. Internal fabric seals will be added to the head and legs, keeping the stuffing in place, whilst also allowing for body sections to be individually stuffed. The plushie will be stuffed with siliconized polyester fibers, according to the selected firmness. If the plushie is intended to be posable (requires the plushie to be made with soft fur), plastic pellets will be added to the lower legs and tail for added weight. Otherwise it will be stuffed more firmly, and have thread sculpting added, to better define the belly area and curvature of the neck..
This artist made plushie is intended for use by teenagers or adults. It is incredibly rare and highly collectible, as it has only been created once up to this point. It is best used for indoors decoration purposes and/or as a photo prop. The quality of the plushie is such, that it is unlikely to break from gentle play or the occational hug, but it is not a toy. It was never created with play or excessive handling in mind, and should be kept away from young children and pets at all times. The plushie can not be washed if it gets dirty, without risking marker bleed-through or quality changes to the fur. The tiny details of the muzzle and feet are also very susceptible to damage.
Creating a detailed plushie like this usually takes me 3-4 weeks, but I might need longer, depending on how busy I am at the time of the order. The finished plushie will be shipped in a sturdy and fully trackable box, using the services of PostNord, GLS or CoolEurope.
Thanks for looking!
