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.

I wanted to buy one of these, but I only found one on eBay, otherwise, Facebook looks like the only option, and I'm definitely not doing that. . . sad shopping noises
Platypus fact: Male platypuses have a poison gland on their hind legs, they are venomous!

His website is so good. Much better pics on there. He’s not selling though 😭😭😭😭😭
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?
