Hand-made Guinea Pigs
Below are examples of Guinea Pigs that are available. All are limited editions or
bespoke, one-off creations.
Most of the Guinea Pigs are made from Schulte Mohair or Alpaca, although some of the designs
employ rough textured medium length pile plush fabric, and all are, of course, completely hand made. They
have ultrasuede ears,
embroidered noses and mouths and German glass eyes. They measure approx 5 inches (12.5 cm) in length and are
weighted to give them a realistic feel.
Many of the Guinea Pig designs are inspired by my five very real piggies in the shed! However, I am more than
happy to produce bespoke designs based on photographs of customers’ own animals. Prices for these are
available on request.

USA and Switzerland.

addition to any home.

This Guinea is made in a rough textured medium length pile plush fabric, his coat is scissor sculptured
to give him little whirls, the realistic Abyssinian look. He measures 6 inches (15 cm) in length,
is weighted to provide a realistic feel, and has four little feet with embroidered toes. This gorgeous
Guinea Pig is priced at GBP 60.00. |
