Sheriff Rupert Thibideau measures 12 1/2" tall.
He is made from stuffed, painted and stained muslin, which I've sanded to give him a worn look. He is my own original design.
His vest is made of wool, held together by rusty safety pins, rusty wire and rusty bells.
The edges of his vest are blanket stitched.
Rupert's hair and mustache are wool, attached by a felting needle.
Rupert's hat is made from painted muslin. His eyes are hand stitched and his tail is jute.
PRICE: $22.00 + shipping
SOLD
Rupert's Background: He's a French mouse from Texas whose ancestors date back to the
1600's. Rupert's surname is derived from the French personal name
Theobald meaning bold or brave. An ancestor on his mother's side was
said to have been a Constabulary in France under King Francis I. Thus,
Rupert was destined to become an official protector and keeper of peace
between mice and cats.
