This morning I have 3 new bears for you, been busy this week!!!
Rusty a 6" bear made from vintage (found in my late mother's attic) corded cotton plush.
Indigo another 6" bear made from handmade, hand dyed nuno felt. A process of will fibres either side of muslin. The fibres migrate through the muslin & felt, whilst the muslin gives the felt extra strength. No I did not make this, I bought this from a lady who makes all this kind of stuff.
Lastly Duke a 9" bear made from viscose. He wears a handmade sweater & leather waistcoat with a recycled sari silk ribbon scarf to finish his look. (These are made by me)
As you can see by the photos, I am making the most of photographing outside while the weather holds!!!
These bears can be found on my website lanesendbears.com or Bearpile
