MeRRY CHRiSTMaS!  Please know this will be my last Christmas offering for the year-- I don't want you to miss out!

This little bear began as a skein of 100% wool (teal-blue and red). I then crocheted his body and put him through a washing process in order to felt (shrink) him for a more soft, solid, durable finish. His red sweater is incorporated into the design except for his collar which is a separate piece.

He is a small size of 7” tall and fully disc jointed (cotter pins). He is wobble jointed at the neck and slightly weighted with glass beads. 

I stitched 2 bells to the front of his sweater and pinned to his paw is a miniature glass ball, which can be removed.  His face is hand embroidered and shading was added for an aged detail. This item is not recommended for small children.

Only one day left on another little fiber bear, Wellington. This bear is cream in color and is 5-1/8” tall and he's fully thread jointed.

I crocheted him out of wool yarn and then, put through a boiling/ washing process in order to felt his body for a more soft and solid finish. This process takes time however, I love the finish results! His face and claws are embroidered. He is slightly weighted with glass beads and a light shading gives him added detail.

I also made his thread crochet collar in cream, trimmed in blue. His collar is removable. He makes a sweet addition to any teacup and is a perfect Christmas tree ornament.

Are you worried about things that go bump in the night? It may just be a hungry bear, looking for a midnight snack. This hungry bear prefers treats on Halloween and shows it. He is 8 1/2" tall (10 1/2" including his hat). His body is sewn in a stationary position -- he is perfect to hang anywhere or tuck away in a basket.

I hand crocheted him out of wool yarn and then, put through a washing process in order to shrink, felt/full him.  He was also hand-dyed to aged/ faded perfection.

His face is hand embroidered. He wears his circus hat and he is also dressed in a variety of ribbons. He brings with him his "TREATS" sign.

Hello!  I am offering this soft, Teal Blue BEAR -- an original design of mine.

I hand crocheted him out of wool yarn and then, put through a washing process in order to felt/full his body for a more solid finish. This process takes time however, I love the finish results! 

Blue Bear is a perfect size to display (8” tall) and he's fully thread jointed. His face and claws are embroidered. He is slightly weighted with glass beads. A light shading gives him an aged appearance. 

To give him an antique look, I made him a granny square vest, crocheted from thread, then stained.  He wears his favorite key and tag on his front.

Hello!  I made this Red Rabbit /Hare out of mixed fibers using crochet
stitches.
Carefully placed stitches give him his rabbit detail... from is nose, to curved arms, to his big bunny feet.

His beautiful red color was lightly shaded to give him a faded appearance. 

Red Rabbit is a perfect teacup size of 5” (head-toe) 6 5/8” (includes his ears). He is fully thread jointed and ready to add whimsy to any collection.

His face, claws and mending stitches are embroidered.

He gives an antique look with his layered collar... in colors white, black and cream. He also wears a black bow pinned to the front.

This little bear, Violet, was made of many crochet stitches of spun wool, and then put through a felting / fulling process. This process does take some work but it is well worth the results. This leaves the wool stitches softer and fuller. Violet was also hand-dyed for purple perfection. A little shading was added to give her a worn, vintage style look.

She is a small size of 5 1/2" tall. She is fully thread jointed and slightly weighted! Her face is embroidery. She wears a crochet lace collar with a flower and a burgundy bow. She is a unique bear artist piece-- A perfect addition to any primitive collection. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TeaCuP-size-vin … 1391444636?
