Blizzard - Bear No. 1217
by Charlene Draeger
21 inches (53.3 centimeters)

You may have seen this fellow before, since he appeared on Page 28 of the February, 2013 issue of �Teddy Bear and Friends�. His name is �Blizzard�, which I think suits him to a tee. He is made out of a nearly impossible to get 1-1/8" dense, curly and distressed Schulte mohair in a creamy white color. I rinsed the mohair and dried it in my drier, which made the fur even more dense and curly. Because the mohair is so wonderful, I did not want to cover too much of it up, so I gave him a simple pale aqua blue bow with three silver bells.

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, olive brown 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 21" 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.
