This bear has a lot more traditional elements to it without giving up the cuteness. He is made out of a wonderfully soft Schulte kid mohair in a batik brown and beige, which I rinsed and dried in my drier to give it even more softness. Yes, you can wash mohair. After all, it does come from a goat which spends a lot of time outside in the elements. Even though I darkened his photos somewhat, he still appears a little lighter in his pictures than he does in person. Since the color variations in the batik are so wonderful, I gave him a simple plaid bow and old key so you could see his wonderful fur.

I have done very extensive scissor and needle sculpting to his face and have added some color to bring out his features. He has hand blown glass eyes to which I have added a single upper eyelid and double lower eyelids. His nose is hand embroidered with pearl cotton.

The bear is about 15" standing (which he does not do by himself) and 10" sitting. He is five way jointed with hard board disks, locks nuts and a cotter pin in his neck. He has a pouch of copper BB�s in his bottom for a bit of added weight and has wool felt paw pads which have been cathedral sculpted with subtle shading added. His arms are also wired to give him more pose-ability. As with all my creations, he does not have a name. Since he is being adopted, it is up to his new mother or father to give him a name they deem appropriate.

My soft sculptures are adult collectibles and not suitable for small children and are made with the finest materials and are designed and completely hand made by me. All of my creations are one-of-a-kind and take me several days to complete, as I am meticulous in my construction and detail. I will not offer any soft sculpture for sale until I am completely happy with it.
YOU ARE BUYING DIRECTLY FROM THE ARTIST. EACH OF MY SOFT SCULPTURES HAS MY OWN SEWN IN LABEL AND HAS MY LAMINATED HANG TAG.
