For those of you who love white teddy bears, here is a fellow to win your heart. The bear is made out of the most luxurious Schulte mohair, which is about 1-1/8" long and is very dense and curly. I washed it before I started the bear, which made the backing even tighter and made the mohair even softer. Because the mohair is so outstanding, I gave him a simple ruffled collar in a moss green color with gold edging. The collar is attached with a snap, so should you ever wish to remove it and give him a ribbon or some other adornment, it is a relatively simple thing to do.

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 which I hand colored to match the ruffle around his neck. I also added a single upper eyelid and double lower eyelids. His nose is hand embroidered with pearl cotton.

The bear is about 18" standing (which he does not do by himself) and 13" 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.
