CIARAN, THE HALLOWE'EN TEDDY

I've been busy this week, finishing up Hallowe'en projects before it's too late. I don't make many black bears, but I decided that Hallowe'en would not be complete without one, so I'm pleased to introduce Ciaran, the Hallowe'en Teddy! The name Ciaran means "little black one" in Gaelic.

Ciaran is 4 inches tall and is made from hand dyed German Shulte mohair. He is stuffed with excelsior and stainless steel shot, is fully jointed and has amber, German glass eyes and a sparse, slightly waxed nose. Ciaran has slightly distressed mohair, with a few tiny bald patches and distressed ultra suede paw pads, with small holes in them, so little bits of excelsior shows through.

Ciaran comes with a cream molded hat, decorated with black pompoms and a ruffle around his neck, both made from wool felt. They are removable. He also comes with his own hand-made Hallowee'en altered art, soldered ornament, made from vintage Hallowe'en graphics and decorated with glitter. It could also be worn as a pendant, if hung on a ribbon. As all of my pieces, this is designed and made entirely by me, Brenda Power, and is a collectible, not suitable for children. It will come with a signed hang-tag. Thanks for peeking at Ciaran and if you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
