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.
