I HAVE SOLD OUT OF MY EDITION 🌻

This is the first in the "25th Anniversary Special Collectors Edition 1998-2023" of collectable artist bears, by award winning Master Bear Artist: Katrina Beveridge.
This bear is:
Series No. 1 of 5.
Edition of 5.
This gorgeous collectable artist bear stands at 36cm, (not including antanai). His body is fully hand-stitched in a hand-dyed yellow and black mohair. There are 16 pieces in his torso alone, (not including the wings), just to show the detail in his construction.
He is filled with A-grade wool and glass beads for a weighted feel.
Bumble has black glass eyes with hand painted ultra suede whites, and a big oval shaped, traditionally hand stitched nose. Several shading techniques have been used on this bear around his face and paw pads. The antenai are made from wool & are purposely squiggly to add character. They can be bent into other positions if desired.
Bumble has a big embroidered smile with a trimmed muzzle and extensive needle sculpture to shape his face.
His wings are all individually machine stitched from a double layered cotton fabric, with shading added to create a true Bumble Bee look.
Bumble is 5 way disc, locknut & bolt jointed, and comes wearing his hand painted pottery name tag which adorns his neck. This details the 25th Anniversary Collectors Edition 1998-2023 on the front, with his series number, edition number, date completed and artists signature on the back.
A "BUMBLE BEARS 25th Anniversary" tag is stitched into his leg for authenticity, as well as a tag stitched onto his right foot pad.
Bumble is accompanied with several keepsake items to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Bumble Bears. Such as a solid brass Bumble Bee, a brass working pocket watch which has the "25th Anniversary Special collectors edition 1998-2023" engraved onto the back, & a Brass Bumble Bee on the front, a large Bumble Bears canvas black and cream coloured tote bag, a small wire brush for grooming, and a signed copy of "Teddy Bear times & friends" magazine, featuring "Bumble Bears" story inside. The issue will be published in September 2023 to coincide with the 25th Anniversary launch.
A special "25th Anniversary, Certificate of Authenticity" is also supplied, along with a brass Bumble Bee button stitched into the back of this bear.
To top all of this off, all of these items will arrive in a Bumble Bears "25th collectors edition" keepsake box with a magnetic closure. This features individual series number and edition number inside the lid, with a "created with love♡" logo on the front for display purposes.
Thank you for taking the time to look.
