“Vagabond Strays” ~ Veronica the PRAYING MANTIS ~ Miniature pull toy

This exceptional miniature pull-along praying mantis "Veronica" is handmade of 100% high quality South-German/New Zealand Merino wool and Nepal lambswool in a mixture of vivid greens and orange brown, using a solid sculptural needle felting technique built upon a wire armature, which makes her head and front legs gently poseable.
Veronica has black Czech glass eyes, a triangular head with delicate antennae, thin hard coated outer wings, and the typical prominent front legs and spiky middle and hind legs. 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, Veronica stands approx 8 cm / 3 inches tall.

Each little member of the “Vagabond Strays” will come in its own clear PVC display box with protective Zolala! insert and care instructions, and his/her self-chosen name on a hand signed certificate of authenticity.
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.
