NEW BEARS AT LAST!

I've been working hard to finish these two bears. I haven't made a 6 inch bear in such a long time and it felt very foreign. It was fun, and the aging takes forever but I'm thrilled with the result. The pieces are designed and made by me and will come with a signed hang tag. If you are interested in either set, or have any questions please email me . So, if you have a minute, grap a cuppa and take a peek.  After a day of so, I will be moving them to Bearpile or Etsy, which you can access from my blog.

1. "Wiggins the Clown" is 6 inches tall and made from hand dyed German Shulte Mohair. He is fashioned after the old Steiff clown bears. His mohair has been aged and distressed, with some small bald patches. Wiggins is fully disc jointed and has a waxed nose. He is firmly stuffed with excelsior and granulate and gently weighted with stainless steel shot. Wiggins has ultra suede paw pads that have tiny holes, to allow bits of excelsior to show through. His face, ears and paws have been shaded with permanent fabric paints, for a vintage look. Wiggins wears a hand made wool felt clown hat and collar. These have been dyed and aged and the collar is decorated with tiny vintage bells and ties with a silk ribbon. Both the hat and collar are removable.
