Artist Bears and Handmade Teddy Bears

Fredrick the elf By JO BEARS Jo Nevill 12 inches (30.4 centimeters) I am pleased to introduce you to my latest design -Fredrick is made from a golden curly German mohair with a needle felted muzzle.I really enjoy making this new style with the felted faces. Fredrick has large jowls (inspired by my dogs droopy mouth).He has a hand made porcelain nose and beautiful glass eyes with white under felt.I have also needle felted his paw pads. I have had a lovely time making and hand embroidering his clothes which are felt and decorated with rusty bells and braiding.He looks like a little elf from the black forest and also could be one of Santa's little helpers. Fredrick is cotter pin jointed and has pellets in his tummy for a nice feel. Can you give him a home for Christmas -HE IS A LITTLE DARLING??? Adopted Add to Favorites       Pin It

Jo Nevill Jo Bears United Kingdom 475 Items Listed     Most of my bears have hand sculpted porcelain faces -I sculp a face using a modelling compound - a plaster mold is then made and porcelain is poured into the mold to form a cast. The cast is then cleaned and resculpted and fired to a temperature of 1200 degrees .Several more lower temperature firings are done to obtain the colours and delicate details to match the gorgeous German mohairs used to create the bodies. I also makes the tradition bears using just mohair and a range of old loved out of the attic style bears. All my bears come from a smoke free home and come with a signed detail swing tag and either an embroidered Jo Bears on the foot or a label stitched into the back seam. These bears are for collectors and not suitable for children. All are completely original designs and pattern made by me . I have been featured in several magazines including Teddy Bear International -Teddy Bear Times and Teddy Bear Scene. I also have had the honour of designing two bears for Deans artist showcase.------ I do a lay-away service up to three or four months depending on the price of the bear.If payments fall through all previous payments are none refundable. No lay-away on 8" bears.PLEASE ASK FOR DETAILS BEFORE ORDERING    Check More of My Items: View All My Items
