This fellow turned out to have the cutest and most expressive face. Despite the fact that he is a larger bear, he still maintains that babyish quality. The bear is made out of an imported plush in, what I would term, sort of a hedgehog color. It has a darker underbase with lighter tan guard hairs. One of the reasons I love to work in plush is that it gives you the ability to scissor sculpt the face with far more precision and, therefore, get more expression. He wears a simple wired ribbon in yellow/gold with a thin grey stripe.

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 18" standing (which he does not do by himself) and 12-1/2" 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.
