The largest critter I make is 6-7 inches and the smallest is roughly 1 1/2 inches when seated. I don't sew the very tiny micros often. The micros are jointed using thread but I use a cotter pin jointing system for the others, that is what makes them <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">pose-able</span>. </strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong>I use handmade glass eyes and embroider their faces. I also color and shade them to give them more detail. I also add a bit of either copper or steel pellets in their bellies to give them a bit of weight.</strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong>All of my critters are truly a labor of love, which is why I give each of my critters a heart on their bottom. </strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;">Because it is so time consuming, I very rarely have any stray critters that need adopting. I do take private orders. If you have a particular critter in mind but do not see it in my photo gallery do not hesitate to ask if I can make one, I am usually up for a challenge. </span></strong></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><strong></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#660000;">****************************************</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#660000;"><em>Feel free to email me to inquire about critters</em></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#660000;"><a href="mailto:shannoncritters@aol.com">shannoncritters@aol.com</a></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#660000;"><span style="font-size:180%;">*****************************************<br /></span><br /></span></div></span></strong><div align="center"><strong></strong></div></div>Shannon's LiL Crittershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07147445465924330060noreply@blogger.com0
