The Forest Spirit was once a regular Forest Ninja that literally
became one with the forest – made up of everything organic around him...
The Forest Spirit plush is made of:
- Organic cotton/hemp body and thread: Fleece 55% hemp 45% cotton
- Stuffed with kapok tree fiber: An all-natural fiber pulled from the seed pods of the kapok tree (Tested & endorsed by Immunology Lab Environmental Health Center in Dallas, Texas)
- Natural wool mask and leaves: 100% wool felt naturally dyed
- Wooden eyes: Bio-degradable and natural
- Hemp cord: Used for the hang tag and Leaf Satchel
- Non-toxic glue: Used to adhere mask and eyes
- 100% recycled paper tag printed with soy-based ink
- Handmade in-house by Shawnimals
PRESS: Now more than ever it's important to consider the impact we have on our environment. The Forest Ninja project is as much an exploration of the organic and sustainable materials available as it is a new addition to the Ninjatown line. By supporting the companies that produce such materials, we hope to raise awareness of what's available, and new ways to use them. In addition, we know that every component that goes into the Forest Spirit is completely bio-degradable – it won't sit in a landfill for thousands of years. The Forest Spirit came from the forest and it can become one with it some day!
About Shawnimals:
Shawnimals is a character design studio which promotes imagination and happiness by developing whimsical, often humorous characters and stories, and the worlds in which they live. These concepts are made into toys, apparel, lifestyle accessories, comic books and video games, among other fun products, for people of all ages to enjoy. With a penchant for odd and cute, the Shawnimals cast of creatures come in all shapes, sizes, colors and facial hair configurations.
About Noon Solar:
The two founders of Noon Solar, Jane Palmer and Marianne Fairbanks, have backgrounds in fibers and textiles.
They met in the graduate MFA program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Their company began as an art project in early spring of 2002 as a response to the impending war in Iraq. They were feeling powerless in the country's decision making process and felt the US was largely going to war for oil. They came up with a solution to not only create a product that provides personal power, but to integrate renewable solar power into daily life.
