Firstly Wilbur

 

 

 

 

 

Wilbur is the first in a completely new design. This bear is 5" tall but I will be making some smaller similar versions in the future. This Wilbur is the only one with his own vintage tin.

He is made from a hand dyed yellowy mohair which I have plucked, waxed and hand painted for a very well loved looking bear and is filled with kapok and steel shot. He has a large head with a pretty gormless expression! Big green glass eyes, low ears and a sparsely embroidered nose. He is fully cotterpin jointed and wears a rusty bell and rusty looking safety pin on a scrap of vintage black lace around his neck.

As with all my bear he is completely hand stitched

Wilbur is for sale at £72

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Molly is just  about 2 3/4" tall when standing and made from a pale pink mohair. She is fully cotterpin jointed and filled with steel shot and kapok. She has black glass eyes and a very sparse embroidered nose. She wears a spotted ribbon around  her  head and a row of pearls well maybe fake pearls!) around her neck.

She has light shading to her to give her an aged appearance and

she is for sale at £65
