peter3.jpgpeter_head.jpgpeter1.jpgPeter is my homage to the early German teddies that first kindled my interest in bears.  I have carefully aged him to look like he has lived a life.  His pearl cotton embroidered nose has been sandpapered and treated to look aged and slightly threadbare.  He has been given some smallish bald patches in areas that old bears suffer hair loss, including his tummy, top of his head and the front of his arms.  His backing cloth has been lightly aged in places.  All in all, the effect is one of a bear who has seen some life.

Peter is between 15 and 16 inches tall.  He has five joints, and is stuffed with polyfill and a sealed calico bag of stainless steel balls, which make him a good weight. His eyes are black glass and his pawpads are pure, ivory wook felt.  His fur is German mohair.  He wears a golden organza ribbon around his neck.  Peter is one of a kind.

He is available for adoption.  Please go to my blog for further information.

Peter (what's in a name  bear_laugh ) is a very handsome chap!   bear_wub
He's got such a charming smile and wonderful expression and the vintage look is just right: he still looks very huggable.  bear_thumb

Thank you Kim, Francy and Peter!  I sat him next to my old Bing bear and tried to replicate where his mohair was thinning or bald.  I also looked at where Bing's backing fabric was darker/stained in an attempt to age him sympathetically.  So glad you like him
