Miniature artist  Bears by Jean Grogan of Little Scruffs

Bill

Every so often I make a larger Little Scruffs and Bill is one of them! He is 6" tall and made from a lovely old gold vintage upholstery velvet. Although this fabric is over 100 years old it was in perfect condition and I have aged it to look old!!!! Bill is entirely hand stitched  and fully cotter pin jointed. I have used a stripey cotton material for his paws which I have stained to add to the 'old bear' look. His body is loosely filled with steel shot and kapok for a saggy look and his embroidered nose is distressed.  Bill wears an old rusty bell around his neck.
