Arfur is a 14" bear made from sparse, shulte mohair. He has been lightly stuffed with polyfil, plastic pellets & remnants of fabric to give him a really loved feel. He has gold vintage velvet pads, is 5 way cotter pin jointed & has genuine boot button eyes. He has a few bald patches & "repairs". I still have to coffee stain him as I think he still look's a little too new.
Tim is a 12" bear made from faux fur. He is 5 way cotter pin jointed with ultra suede pads & inner ears. He wears a hand knitted jumper.
Oliver is 15" bear made from faux fur. He is 5 way cotter pin jointed with felt pads & inner ears. He wears a pair of hand knitted overalls.
Isaac is a 19" bear (my biggest to date) made from shulte mohair. He has ultra suede pads & English glass eyes. He has a vintage brass key & aged name tag around his neck. He is 5 way cotter pin jointed. Isaac is a weighted bear, so there is a lot to hold.
Here are Dusty & Saskia. They are both 9" bears made from different patterns. Dusty is made from a light blue, navy tipped shulte mohair & Saskia is made from the same plush fur that Icicle is made from. They are both 5 way cotter pin jointed. Dusty's pads & inner ears are made from linen fabric & Saskia's are made from handmade Alpaca felt.
In an earlier post I showed you Icicle, here is another photo of him. I'm trying (in vain) to capture him at his best angle!!!
Marley is a 7" bear made from a dusty pink faux fur. (The photo has come out a little on the dark side) She is 5 way cotter pin jointed with felt pads & inner ears. The charm around her neck reads "made with love".
Baggins & Baxter are 12"bears. Baggins on the left is made from string mohair, with wool felt pads. Baxter is made from natural laid mohair & wool felt pads. They are both 5 way cotter pin jointed. They can be viewed on Bear Pile or my facebook page.
