Bear No. 1116
by Charlene Draeger
17 inches (43.1 centimeters)

This fellow turned out to have a very serene and expressive face. That is one of the reasons I love to work in plush, as it gives you the ability to scissor sculpt the face with far more precision. The bear is made out of a wonderful and luxurious plush in a snow white with black tipping. Because it is a fairly long and very dense plush, the bear was very time consuming to make, but I think he is well worth the hours I put into him. Because his face is so expressive, I gave him a simple bow in a lavender with pink overtones and added a pink and white flower.

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. I hand painted the eyes a beautiful blue somewhere between a navy and a royal blue. His nose is hand embroidered with pearl cotton.

The bear is about 17" standing (which he does not do by himself) and 11-1/2" 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 ultrasuede paw pads. 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.
