Bear No. 825
by Charlene Draeger
21 inches (53.3 centimeters)

This is one of my largest bears. He loves to be hugged and is a great size for hugging. He would be perfect to display any time of the year, but I have given him a large red houndstooth bow since Christmas is right around the corner. His face embodies some of the more classic features of the teddy bear, while also incorporating some of the more modern techniques utilized by today�s artists.

He is made out of a 1-1/2" long tipped Schulte mohair. It is one of the most beautiful and luxurious mohairs made by Schulte. His color is a little more beige than the photos show. I have done 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 eyelid. I have also carefully hand embroidered his nose with pearl cotton.

The bear is about 21" standing (which he does not do by himself) and 14" 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
