Bear No. 826
by Charlene Draeger
16 inches (40.6 centimeters)

I have once again redecorated this bear, plus I have made some minor adjustments to her face. I feel she has finally fulfilled my expectations. She has the cutest face with a really happy expression. She wears a bright golden grosgrain ribbon, with a sprig of fall berries attached.

The bear is made out of a tan Schulte mohair with a darker back. This is another of those mohairs which may never be available again, and I used my last piece of mohair when I made this bear. I have done extensive scissor and needle sculpting to her face and have added some color to bring out her features. She has hand blown glass eyes, to which I have added eyelids. I added a double eyelid on the bottom, which gives her a wonderful, expressive look. Her nose is hand embroidered with pearl cotton.

The bear is about 16" standing (which she does not do by herself) and 11" sitting. She is five way jointed with hard board disks, locks nuts and a cotter pin in her neck. She has a pouch of copper BB�s in her belly for some added weight. She has wool felt paw pads, which have been sculpted and shaded. I have also wired her arms so she has more pose-ability. As with all my creations, she does not have a name. Since she is being adopted, it is up to her new mother or father to give her a name they deem appropriate.
