Custom Wolpertinger / Raurakl – Winged Hare with Antlers
A wolpertinger is a mythical creature from Bavarian Folklore. And of course, in Menageria, there exists beasts that are, in our world, pure fantasy. In Austria, a similar beast isknown as a Raurakl.
Customising your Creature
I love adding little details that bring personality to these textile taxidermy creatures. And since they are fantasy creatures, we can do what we like – different coloured eyes, or eyes from another animal. I can even add decorative mouldings!
You can choose any style that fits with your aesthetic. For example, floral, steampunk, bling, ethnic, rustic etc, and any colour combination.
I can also use fabrics left over from your home renovation so that they match your décor perfectly. Or perhaps you have a scrap of fabric that is sentimental that you don’t want to keep in a box unseen? This is the perfect way to display that.
All my beasts are unique – I never make two the same.
Pricing
The price shown is a base price. Any extra additions such a custom features or mouldings may add extra to the final cost. You will be made aware of this before production begins.
All the fabrics I use are unused, but have been recycled so the cost is minimal. Not only does this mean that these fabrics do not end up in landfill, I also makes these creatures more affordable to make in a range of very high quality fabrics.
More about my Custom Raurakl Beasts
Wolpertingers have resin or glass eyess, and the ears are sewn together. The antlers are cast from resin and the wings are assembled using fabric and wire. They come with a backboard with a keyhole type hanger set into the back. All you need is a hook, screw, or nail that is suitable for your wall to hang it on.
They are made from high quality upholstery fabric scraps and swatch books. I use a variety of trims when needed to support any fragile edges. For some styles, I will fray the edges on purpose.
Wolpertinger wings and ears are poseable, and the whiskers are made from monofilament.
All are finished with a 3M protective spray.
Dimensions are 320mm H x 240mm W x 170mm D
