“Vagabond Strays” ~ Ophelia the FLAMINGO ~ Miniature pull toy

This dashing miniature pull-along flamingo bird "Ophelia" is handmade of 100% high quality South-German/New Zealand Merino wool and Nepal lambswool in a mixture of light and dark pinks and salmon, beige, and black, using a solid sculptural needle felting technique built upon a wire armature, which makes her head and long neck gently poseable.
Ophelia has transparent glass eyes, a characteristic beak, fluffy salmon and pink feathered wings, long elegant legs with webbed feet, and a fluffy salmon and pink feathered tail. She comes with her red “Vagabond Strays” signature bandana scarf, that was carefully tea-stained for that well-loved, well-worn look.

All “Vagabond Strays” pull-along animals are securely mounted on a hand painted and ever so gently distressed wooden base on *working* metal wheels, with a crochet pull cord tied to a small metal ring.

With the base included, Ophelia stands approx 13,5 cm / 5 1/4 inches tall.

Each little member of the "Vagabond Strays" will travel - comfortably nested in protective wood wool - in an environmentally friendly Kraft paper window box, closed with hemp twine and a paper Zolala! banderol. Included are a hand signed Certificate of Authenticity (with his/her self-chosen name), and printed care instructions.
Securely packed and shipped by REGISTERED/INSURED MAIL in a sturdy cardboard box, with full insurance coverage and an online tracking number for safety and peace of mind.

IMPORTANT: These felted wool sculptures are not toys, but miniature works of art made for the discerning collector. They are not suitable for small children.
