Miniature mohair bears by Little Scruffs

Arnold

                                                                                                                                                                                                             Arnold came to being from a chance remark from a friend commenting on one of the old bears that I had. That got me thinking about whether I could recreate a similar bear.

This bear is 5" tall (standing but as his legs are quite long he looks no bigger than my other bears when sitting down!)

and made from a blonde sparse mohair which I have aged considerably. His head and body are one piece and his arms and legs are string jointed. he Has an aged, embroidered waxed nose and black glass eyes. He is filled with kapok and I have added steel shot to his legs and arms  for a heavy floppy feel
