This bear was made from two, of one of my collectors, daughter's coats. The body & head are made from a suede like fabric & the footpads are made from the embroidered pockets of the same coat. The arms, legs & ears are made from a lovely ultra soft, furry jacket. I thoroughly enjoyed designing this bear & was really pleased with the outcome.
Summer is a little 5.5" bear made from Shulte sparse mohair. She is 5 way cotter pin jointed with ultra suede footpads. He ears & paws have been scissor sculpted & pastel shaded, as has her eyes & nose area. She wears hippy orientated accessories.
Moonshine is a 9" bear made from a blonde, long Shulte mohair. He is 5 way cotter pin jointed with ultra suede pads. His body is poly & steel shot filled. His accessories are hippy orientated.
Mosely is a 9" bear made from gold viscose which I have aged with coffee & pastel colouring. He has ultra suede pads & is 5 way cotter pin jointed. His body is poly & steel shot filled to give him a nice weighty feel. He wears a pair of aged dungarees & a rusty bell with tag around his neck.
