“Sally the Red Squirrel hugs herself with a blanket of warm tail and contemplates which of her secret dreys will hold her for the night. As she gathers cones for her winter larder, last years forgotten treasures are already becoming the forest that hides her.”

Sally Squirrel is made from a burnt orange overcheck Harris Tweed. Her belly, tufted ears and tail have been needle- felted with natural merino fibres. The layers of tweed have been needle felted and free motion embroidered together. Her whiskers have been hand stitched with orange cotton and she has a black resin button eye.

The keyring is backed with vintage leather, which came from a collection of postcard sized samples saved by my grandad during his time at Leeds Tannery in the 1960's. The leather that your keyring is backed with will be different from this picture as I only have small amounts of each piece of leather. The keyring is copper riveted together and has a 2.5cm copper split ring.

Sally measures approximately 9x 7cm.

She comes mounted on a manilla luggage label.

As with all of my creatures, Sally is handmade so there may be minor differences to the one in the picture.
