Bear No. 1209
by Charlene Draeger
11 inches (27.9 centimeters)

I haven�t done too many panda-styles bears, since I hate working with black fabric and thread. But I finally gave in and created this little fellow. He is done in a short Schulte mohair in black and a vanilla cream. I found some ribbon that seemed made for the bear. It is a sheer ribbon with red at the edges and a red and gold wavt stripe randomly woven through the middle of the ribbon. I thought the colors offset the starkness of the black and cream.

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 11" standing (which he does not do by himself) and 8" 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.
