116 Incredibly Cute Animal Sculptures Made By Lee Cross

ADVERTISEMENT

This artist, originally from Alaska, can make anyone fall in love with her work! Using her own technique, Lee Cross—who signs her works under the pseudonym Wood Splitter Lee—creates incredible plush sculptures that realistically portray baby animals.

Although she also makes playful animals with horns and bright colors, they are actually close to their real-life counterparts.

Lee Cross doesn’t use molds or any sort of patterns when making the hyper-realistic animals. It all starts with a skeleton made of wood, which is then “padded” to look softer and later gets covered with synthetic fur. The finishing touches, according to Wood Splitter Lee, are made with acrylic paint. It’s super delicate work that requires working with brushes.

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

I would want ALL of these guys so that I could start a "wandering petting zoo." There would be educational "knowledge cards" to go along with the "holding/ petting." And because these fur-guys aren't "real," they NEVER grow up, AND you don't have to feed them! *(Let alone clean up the "you-know-whats!") *I wonder if the person who made these can make dragons and phoenixes?
