Beaver was made from an old wool blanket that was hand-dyed in a bath made from black walnut hulls. Variations in shade were achieved by dyeing the fabric for differing lengths of time
(longer time in bath = deeper shade of brown).
Beaver is stuffed with polyester fiber-fill.
Facial features and details were hand-embroidered.
This was the final project for my "Fibre: Implementing the History Class"
