TWO NEW BEARS

I find it difficult to be productive in the summer as there is so much to do - outside work etc. I finally have two clown bears ready for adoption. I'm also working on some Christmas decorations and hope to have some of them listed in a day or so. If feels good to be back in the swing of things. These bears are collectibles and not made for children. They are designed and made entirely by me and come with a signed hang-tag. Shipping is $12.50 for Expedited mail or $15.00 for UPS within the U.S. and Canda. International customers, please email me for a shipping quote. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me and thanks for peeking!

1."Peggity the Clown" is a 5 inch teddy that is made from German mini mohair, and is fully disc-jointed. She is a new pattern, with slimmer body and legs and rounder head. She is firmly stuffed with excelsior, like the old bears, and is gently weighted with steel shot. Peggity has dark brown ultra suede paw pads that have tiny holes, to allow bits of excelsior to show through, and a tiny waxed nose. Her face, ears and paws have been shaded with permanent fabric paints, for a vintage look. Peggity wears a green paisly print ruffle and a green wool felt hat. Both the ruffle and the hat have been aged and distressed. The ruffle ties in the back with green silk ribbon. Both the hat and ruffle are removable.
PRICE: $175.00



2. "Thackery the Clown" is 6 inches tall and made from turquoise, hand dyed German Shulte Mohair. He is fashioned after the old Steiff clown bears. His mohair has been aged and distressed, with some small bald patches. Thackery is fully disc jointed and has a waxed nose. He is firmly stuffed with excelsior and granulate and gently weighted with stainless steel shot. Thackery has ultra suede paw pads that have tiny holes, to allow bits of excelsior to show through. His face, ears and paws have been shaded with permanent fabric paints, for a vintage look. Thackery wears a ruffle of multicoloured fabric - not sure what it it but it has a lovely silky sheen to it. It fastenes at the back with black silk ribbon. Thackery's black hat is made from molded felt and is decorated with pompoms and has been dyed and aged. Both the hat and collar are removable.

TWO NEW CLOWNS!

I am really enjoying newest adventure with my teddies - bigger clown bears. I like the size 5 and 6 inches. They still fit nicely in your hand but they have a lovely feel - they are still fairly small, but certainly larger than my miniatures bears. I love to get feedback, so all comments are welcome :o) Enjoy!

1. "Zinger the Clown" is 5 inches tall and is made from hand dyed rust and light beige, sparse German mohair. He has amber German glass eyes, wool felt paw pads and a waxed nose. He is shaded with permanent fabric paints on the face, ears and paws, for a vintage look. Zinger is filled with excelsior and stainless steel shot and is stuffed firmly. He is loosely jointed, which allows him to pose nicely. His mohair has been distressed and his paw pads have tiny holes to allow the excelsior to show through. Zinger wears a teal coloured, wool felt hat and a matching silk ruffle around his neck. Both the hat and ruffle have been extensively aged for an antique appearance.


2. This is Miss Petunia and she is another 6 inch clown bear, and she has been firmly stuffed with excelsior and gently weighted with stainless steel shot. She has made from cream and pale pink mohair, with German amber glass eyes and a waxed nose. Miss Petunia has very gentle shading on her face, eyes, ears and paws. She has been slightly aged, and has tiny holes in her wool felt paw pads, for her excelsior to show through. Her collar is made from a vintage swiss dot organza and her hat is molded felt. Miss Petunia wears a pale olive green, wool felt hat and a matching ruffle around his neck, made from organza. The hat has been decorated with tiny old bells. Both the hat and the collar have been extensively aged for an antique appearance.
