Blue Toucangriff

Toucangriffs are popular pets among jungle-dwelling fairies. Like toucan birds, toucangriffs prefer a fruit-based diet and a warm climate.
Blue Toucangriff is a poseable art doll with resin cast head and feet. The resin areas are painted with acrylics (including some lovely iridescent blue and green) and sealed with polyurethane varnish. The rest of his body is built of quilt batting over a flexible wire armature, and covered with synthetic fur - all hand sewn over the body before being given a careful haircut and additional color. The bracelets are reclaimed leather, painted, and tied with waxed string.
