This is a Wooly Shaksie lizard! Shaksie lizards are a creation of Remjie , my dollmaker friend. She sent me her cast parts to use to make this doll. I painted and assembled the piece.

This is the furred Wooly Shaksie, a subspecies of the Shaksie lizard. Unlike a normal Shaksie that is smooth, the Wooly Shaksie has a fluffy coat of hair! They live in colder parts of the world and do a lot of traveling- their hairy coats help them stay warm! Their paws are a little more stout and stubby than their non-furred cousins, this is because they are more adapted for walking than climbing trees.

This Wooly Shaksie is named Harry ( get it?) and he likes to go hiking and exploring. He is on a quest right now, looking for all sorts of new monsters and creatures that have never been seen before! He has a very special secret parchment he's carrying on his pack- only his new companion will be able to see what it is. Harry also has a treasure in his pack to share with you, a sample he has collected during his travels. Maybe you and Harry can go out and find more adventure together? He likes to eat tangerines so keep some in your pack for him.

This collaborative piece of original work is made of cast sculpted parts made by Remjie, then hand painted and sealed with clear coat. Body is made from faux fur and high quality fleece, stuffed with no armature. His pack is made from wool with brass buckles.

The secret parchment is a hand drawn original ink illustration by Lawrance Dobson @pissface on instagram.

23" long.

As with all of my original dolls, this piece will come with a signed and dated etched wooden tag marking it as one of my one of a kind critters.

This is a piece of artwork intended for adult collectors. It can be played with and cuddled a little but please treat it with care to prevent scuffs. Clean any cast parts with a slightly damp cloth, do not use solvents. Fur can be combed and styled if desired.

I do not take on commissioned work.
