Bear No. 1121
by Charlene Draeger
16 inches (40.6 centimeters)

I drew the pattern for this bear a long, long time ago. It was during my rebellious period when I wanted to try to make something other than a traditional teddy bear. My pencil flew across the page creating what I thought would be a really bizarre bear. However, it turned out to have perfect proportions and a lot of pose-ability. I called the pattern “Rollo”, because he has a big, fat tummy.

The bear is made out of a batik Schulte mohair in a tan with darker brown. The mohair was originally a straight mohair, but because it was batiked, some of it does not always behave and go in the same direction. I have done 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 16" standing (which he does not do by himself) and 10-1/2" 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 with subtle shading added
