Finally finished ...

Three Bear Custom Order

Thank you, Kent, for being so incredibly patient. I actually started this Custom Order around Christmas but was unable to finish before the end of the year. Then I was totally distracted with repairs on our poor old house for just about all of January which really got me off my work schedule.

As a "thank you" I've made a couple of little extra treats to go with your teddies...

Three Bear Custom Order
A large "Sweetheart Teddy"
And a Mother-Daughter Brown Bear set

    

13 inch "Sweetheart Teddy" with a heart-shaped chest blaze
To balance the color I gave this teddy a mink face
the same color as the chest blaze
Each bear has "Love You Forever" embroidered on it's foot
The paw pads are created from the coat's lining
Each bear has 6 joints including a double jointed neck
Wire armature in arms and legs for gentle posing.
The body of this Sweetheart Teddy is completely
filled with plastic pellets for a wonderful soft
feel and good weight.
As with all of my bears this one has glass eyes,
an embroidered, waxed, and sealed nose.
and has gently hand-painted details.

As a little bonus I've made little heart pillows for the teddies.
They were crafted from the coat's lining and
velvet pocket lining.
One heart has the coat's monogram.
The other heart has the coat's label.

Extras with these teddies:
Off-white mink face
Off-white mink heart blaze
Two heart pillows from coat lining
Embroidered "Love You Forever" on feet

Kent, I hope these heirloom teddies will be treasured by your children as a loving memento of their late mother. Thank you for trusting me with your late wife's precious mink coat.

Alpaca Teddy

 Alpaca Teddy

... a brief visit for a quick make-over.

This adorable teddy was one that I first created in the early 1990s. It was so sweet that I kept it in my personal collection for several years. Sometime in the late 1990s I decided to "finish" it  and bring it to one of my Teddy Bear Shows where it was quickly adopted. Now all these years later she has been re-homed so her new owner has sent her to me for her "Spa Day" to be rejuvenated (waxed and sealed nose, a little trim, and a little painted detailing).

Glass eyes

Embroidered, waxed, and sealed nose

Birthday Special Request

This was a "special request" for a cream mink Polar Bear and a brown Puppy.

It was for a January Birthday ... but ... ooops ... I was already running late on my Custom Orders and I started this Special Request order by making a cream mink puppy by mistake. As a result I missed the January Birthday date. Of course, I'm offering them first to the collector who made the Special Request ... but if she should decline then I will make them available to collectors on my Polar Bear and Puppy Waiting Lists.

UPDATE: only the polar bear was adopted ... the puppy was offered a collector on my "Puppy Waiting List" and was quickly adopted

which is one of my personal favorites.

So it was great fun to create a Mother-Daughter Brown Bear set.

Wire armature in arms and legs for gentle posing

Very Special Paw Pads

I used the mink lining for the paw pads but to make them extra special

and very personal I embroidered the words:

"Love You Forever"

Which refers to an often read children's book
