Description
You might think this little Chipmunk could scurry away at a moments notice. The talented artisans behind the creation of these wonderful animals spend a significant amount of time researching what animals actually look like and how they move, resulting in magical creations that could come to life at any moment, and this little chippy is no exception.
Their reddish-brown fur, with white and black stripes on the back & long, furry tails distinguish them from other ground squirrels. Chipmunks feed on grain, nuts, birds' eggs, and insects and live in a burrow, where they store food for winter.
Artists working in a socially responsible and environmentally responsible studio create each Hansa animal from portraits of the creature in its natural habitat. And because each animal is hand sewn, every animal will have slight variations in appearance, giving them each their own unique personality.
More to the Story
Artisans hand sew the animals inside out, an old world tradition that results in the minimization of seams, and their bodies are carefully sculpted to create musculature and features like movement in a walking or sitting position that are unique to each creature. On average, there are (42) separate pieces required to make each animal, that must be combined by a team of truly creative artists to create the distinctly realistic features that characterize HANSA animals. Some animals have as many as (240) different parts! Each animal is individually hand sewn, to give it a unique personality, there are more than (860) different fabrics and man-made furs from which the coat and hides are made, along with over (6000) sets of different eyes, whiskers, claws, noses, and related accessories allocated for creating these wonderful plush animals. Stuffing emphasizes careful attention to the placement of the highest quality man-made materials.
When you hold these wonderfully life-like animals, you will see and feel HANSA's emphasis on quality, which is a result of careful attention to design, custom fabric selection, cutting, sewing, stuffing, eye placement, feature creation, framing, airbrushing and finishing.
