I am finishing up a 9" off white bear. I will be listing Pippa on ebay this Sunday and all proceeds will be donated to the Nebraska Strollathon For Rett Syndrome to help a friend and fellow teddy bear artist, Terri Larson, whose daughter, Emma, has Rett Syndrome. 

I don't often create teddy bears smaller than 12".  I will try to get photos posted here and on Facebook later today ~~ I hope you will have a look.

I'm longing to work on a small bear.  Small for me would be 9 or 10 inches.  My arm aches from stuffing excelsion into large bears.  Hopefully, I will have a little guy to post here soon. 

Mitchell and Sweet Binnie are headed to Collins Gifts

Lovely Antique Steiff

I would love to find this beautiful antique Steiff bear under my Christmas tree.  I so love his worn red velvet paw pads. 

Gideon

Gideon August, 2012

Gideon is a 16" black bear stuffed with excelsior.  He has antique boot button eyes, wool felt paw pads and a perle cotton nose.  His body is stuffed so he has that wonderful slouchy look of antique bears.  He wears a brass bell collar on English leather made exclusively for aDORRable bears.  I hope you like him.  He will be heading to California very soon.
