Artist Bears and Handmade Teddy Bears

Ludwig By Jo Nevill - JO BEARS 12 inches (30.4 centimeters) Ludwig is a little elf from the forests and I had great fun creating him -He is from a new style and pattern that I have developed with a needle felted muzzle. Ludwig is made from a German taupe mohair with a needle felted muzzle that I designed from studying my dogs droopy mouth with big jowls. Ludwig has a hand crafted porcelain nose and big sad eyes (again like my dogs) His eyes are English glass buzzard eyes and are beautiful -I have given him white under felt for expression and leather eyelids.Ludwig has needle sculpted felt paws. I loved creating his clothes which are hand embroidered and are felt.He is decorated with rusty bells and woodland berries.He would be nice for Christmas but is also OK to display the rest of the year.

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 .
