PUMPKIN MOONSHINE

What would a pumpkin be without cats and mice? Here we see a common scene of "Hide-and-seek" with Tabitha Twichet looking for Hunca Munnca. All figures are completely hand wrought from head to toe. The pumpkin is papier mache and the figures are felted wool.

Tabitha Twichet is 5"L with glass eyes, orange and white fur ending with a sweet tail. Hunca Munca is 3 "L, dark brown/black with a pink nose and glass eyes, white paws and a long tail.

Both figures are inspired by the works of Beatrix Potter. They have been created by the artist with great attention to detail. The pumpkin seems amused with all the attention.
