Description
Avik is a majestic reindeer wearing a jingle bell harness and leather bridle. He holds his antlers high and proud. One day he hopes to be part of Santa's sleigh team, if only he could fly.
Avik was lovingly created from llama, merino and corriedale wool fibers tightly needle felted around a wire frame without the use of a kit or pattern. He is gently posable. Antlers are wire framed and his eyes ore German glass. Avik is 8 3/4 inches tall, antlers included and nearly 8 1/2 inches long from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. He comes complete with his leather jingle bell harness and leather bridle.
Although Avik is very adorable and any child would love to hold him, he is recommended as an adult collectible only and is not intended as a toy.
Avik comes unbranded and unsigned. However, as with all of my artwork, he is catalogued with his photograph and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist, me. All artwork is copyright protected and may not be copied or reproduced in any way. R.J.Andreae © 2008

About the Artist
I stand in amazement of the sheer diversity of life that is on this earth. Each has a beauty and energy all its own. Through my artwork, I hope to share the uniqueness and beauty of each. Since animals are my muse, I find it only fitting that I give back to them. As a proud member of Art for Critters, at least 20% from all of my art sales is donated to animal charities and rescues.
As a child I spent many hours drawing all kinds of wildlife on the backs of old brown paper bags. Anything and everything was a potential canvas. As an adult, I now paint mostly on traditional canvas. I diligently study animals from life and from photos to accurately render them, while conveying each animal's unique personality.
As a self taught artist, I have illustrated for Greenpeace USA, Fund for Animals, the Santa Rosa Bird Rescue Center, and the Primate Foundation, among many others. Since June of 2003, I have become a full-time artist offering my works for sale on eBay.
I am proud to be a juried member of Art for Critters (A4C). A4C connects wildlife and animal artists with rescues and organizations that provide sanctuary and aid to animals across the globe. Please search A4C, to view more charity auctions by Art For Critters artists
