'Portraits in Nature' is a hand - crafted collection of realistic plush animals. Artists in a socially and environmentally responsible studio create each Hansa animal based on portraits of the creature in its natural habitat. The Hansa Story: Artisans hand - sew the animals inside out, an old - world tradition that minimizes seams. Their bodies are carefully sculpted to create unique 'musculature' and 'features' like movement in walking or sitting positions. On average, 42 separate pieces are needed to make each animal, and some animals have as many as 240 different parts! Each animal is individually hand - sewn, giving it a unique 'personality'. There are over 860 different fabrics and man - made furs for the 'coat' and 'hides', along with more than 6000 sets of different eyes, whiskers, claws, noses, and related accessories. The stuffing uses high - quality man - made materials with careful placement. When you hold these life - like animals, you'll feel HANSA's focus on quality through careful design, fabric selection, cutting, sewing, stuffing, eye placement, feature creation, framing, air - brushing, and finishing. Since each animal is hand - sewn, there will be slight appearance variations.
