Mister Pickles a romantic, hand dyed, mohair one of a kind artist bear ready to declare his undying love on Valentine's Day

Some people where their hearts on their sleeves, Mister Pickles wears his on his tummy, it's a big heart and it says 'I love you' .
Mister Pickles is a dignified, slightly rotund bear, a bear that enjoys good food and wine, a bear that loves romance but always remains the perfect gentleman.

Mister Pickles is made from three pieces of hand dyed mohair, one a faded, dusky pink short, sparse mohair, another a murky blue with patches of mauve while his face is made from a piece of wispy, sparse mohair hand dyed in shades of straw yellow and jade, there are also small patches of pink on his face but those may be from a recent passionate encounter, we don't like to pry. His hand dyed, velvet paw pads match his mohair perfectly and he has beautiful, sparkling, hand painted eyes with eyelids. Mr.Pickles has a large, simple nose hand embroidered from individual threads to match his mohair and, of course, he has a beaming smile.

Mister Pickles stands 10.5 inches (26cm) tall.

We will be happy to enclose a gift card, maybe a Valentine's Card with Mr.Pickles together with his photos, just ask us when you are ordering. The picture in the photos is an enlargement of Andy's fairytale drawing 'I'm sending my armies to conquer your heart' which we would be happy to enclose as a card, we are happy to personalise the message too.

We cannot guarantee postage times around the world, but it normally takes about a week for a bear to reach most addresses in Europe and America and about 10 days to travel to eastern Asia and Australia.

We hope you like Mister Pickles, he's the first of his design, which makes him a little more special.

Please remember that a teddy bear is for life, not just for Valentine's Day.

Of Little Larry Loveheart
What can be said?
He's made from vintage mohair
A rusty shade of red
His nose is sparsely threaded
His smile is broad and beaming
His eyes are old shoe buttons
Small, twinkle-ing and gleaming

His suedette paws are beige-ish

For such a little bear
We find him simply charming
Please show him that you care.

Of Little Larry Loveheart
What can we say?
A little ray of sunshine
To send the clouds away?

A place within your heart

Nellie Welliebum, a loving and lovable, hand dyed pink, mohair, OOAK bear looking for lots of cuddles and kisses.

Lovable Nellie Welliebum, a bright pink bear to capture your heart.

Nellie's not your athletic, svelte, size 0 bear, she's not the sort of bear that's going to say 'No' to dessert, or the occasional chocolate or 10, she's a bear that enjoys life, a bear to live comfortably with. Nellie's a little bear filled with passion and vibrancy and a tender, loving heart.

Nellie Welliebum is made from a piece of medium length, sparse, mohair that Barbara has hand dyed in a 'proper' shade of pink, a strong, vibrant, passionate pink. She has slightly blotchy, hand dyed, velvet paw pads, beautifully alluring, pale, hand painted eyes with hand painted eyelids, a meticulously embroidered nose and a very sweet smile. Nellie has a large buttoned, pink cotton heart sewn to her chest with her invitation to 'Kiss me' , well, it's difficult to resist kissing her, we think she's adorable. We hope you like her too.

Nellie stands 9 inches (23 cm) tall, she's quite a heavy bear, being stuffed with both polyester stuffing and glass beads, which give her a scrunchy cuddliness.

As with all our bears we are happy to enclose a few photos of Nellie Welliebum and we can also add a Valentine's card and gift tags if you like. Just let us know when you are ordering. We'll also consider offers on the pink wellies, the perfect accompaniment for Nellie Welliebum, if you can think of a brilliant reason you can even have them for free.

Susie Sweetheart a delicate, scrumptious, one of a kind bear to melt your heart, made from hand dyed mohair.

Susie Sweetheart is a delicate flower, a dreamy romantic, a little love....a true sweetheart.

She's made from sparse, tousled mohair, hand dyed in pastel shades of peach, pink and cream with pale greens and greys showing through from the mohair backing, while her tummy, the fluffy fronts of her ears and under her tail are made from a denser, curlier mohair hand dyed in a subtle shade of lilac. She has hand dyed, pinky-peach, velvet paw pads, beautiful, hand painted eyes with eyelids, a pert, little nose embroidered with individual threads to match the mohair and a beguiling smile. Susie stands 9.5 inches(24 cm) tall.


Susie is adorned with two wooden hearts, one powder blue with cream spots and the other proudly emblazoned with 'Love You'.

Susie Sweetheart just needs somebody to love her.

We will enclose some photos of Susie and we're happy to enclose cards and gift tags too, just let us know when you are ordering.

Gracie May, one of a kind, hand dyed mohair, artist bear, a gentle, romantic bear made from pastel blues, pinks and lilacs.

Gracie May stands 9.5 inches/ 24 cm tall and 7.5 inches/ 19 cm sitting, she costs £160 plus £7.00 GBP postage UK, or £12.00 GBP for the rest of the world.

Gracie May is like a little crocus flower, a gentle bear made from blue, pink and lilac hand dyed mohair.

She is mainly made from a piece of slightly distressed, medium length, sparse, German mohair that Barbara has 'back dyed' in sky blue, pink and lilac, this means that a lot of the original white mohair pile is still white and the colour shows through from the backing. Her tummy, face, ear fronts and the under side of her tail are made from longer, wavy mohair hand dyed in shades of mauve and lilac. Gracie's paw pads are made from hand dyed lilac velvet with small splashes of peach. She has beautiful, hand painted purple eyes, which sparkle with flecks of blue when the light catches them and she has hand painted eyelids.
Gracie's nose has been embroidered with individual threads of cream, blue, pink, purple and black to coordinate with her mohair and of course she has a big, beaming smile.

We hope that Gracie will bring you visions of crocuses bursting through the snow, the signs that spring is on the way. She is a gentle, calm and romantic bear to put a smile in your heart. She loves to be wooed, to have flowers and chocolates, to curl up beside a blazing fire and snuggle into your arms and with Valentine's Day not so far away she might make a beautiful Valentine's Day gift.

We hope you like her.

As with all our bears Gracie May comes with photos of her and we're happy to include a greeting card and gift tags, just let us know when you are ordering.

Many thanks
Barbara and Andy

Barry Bolero, a colourful and comical, one of a kind, hand dyed mohair bear to banish the winter blues.

Barry Bolero's a bright bundle of brilliant bumblings, a bear to banish the winter blues. He's a big bag of cuddles and hugs, a friend, a confidant, a clown and a dreamer, he's whatever you want him to be and much more besides. We like Barry Bolero.

Barry stands 12.5 inches/32cm tall and 10 inches/25 cm sitting. He's made from quite dense and fairly long, scrunchable, German mohair with a slight curl that Barbara has dyed in intense shades of blue, pink, purple and gold, mingled with softer greens, browns and beiges, his tummy, face and under-tail are made from longer, intensely golden ochre mohair, while the fronts of his ears are orange tipped, pale yellow, wavy mohair. He's a bit of a psychedelic kaleidoscope. Barry had hand dyed pads to compliment his mohair, beautiful hand painted eyes (with hand painted eyelids), a splendid nose painstakingly embroidered to match the colours of his mohair and a blockbuster of a beaming smile. Barry is stuffed with polyester stuffing and plastic pellets to give his a good weight and make him a little more poseable and squidgable, particularly in the tummy department, where he displays a bit of a paunch....too much good living we suspect.

As with all our bears Barry Bolero comes with his own photos and we're happy to include a greeting card and gift tags, just let us know when you are ordering.

Many thanks
Barbara and Andy

Cedric Boogaloo, a bear for all seasons, a bright and cheerful, OOAK, hand dyed mohair bear to brighten your day.

Cedric stands 13.3/4 inches /35cm tall and he sits 11 inches/28cm tall.

Cedric's a kind of cool, relaxed bear, he doesn't let anything stress him, he just goes with the flow. You can almost hear him singing "Don't worry, be happy..."

He's made from some lovely, medium length, slightly curly, German mohair that Barbara has hand dyed in a beautiful, strong blue, with splashes of gold, peach and green. His tummy, face, ear fronts and the underside of his tail are made from long, wavy, primrose yellow mohair with a subtle orange tip. He has blue, hand painted eyes with a hint of sparkle and coloured eyelids. Cedric's marvellous nose has been painstakingly embroidered to incorporate all the colours of his mohair and he has a big, reflective smile, you can see he's thinking about something but you just can't quite guess what it is. He has velvet paw pads that coordinate perfectly with the colours of his mohair. Cedric has been stuffed with plastic pellets and polyester stuffing to make him a little more flexible and poseable, while also giving him a big, huggable tummy, although you might find yourself running your fingers through his luscious mohair more than hugging him.

Cedric Boogaloo isn't a bear to dazzle, he's a bear to bring a smile to your face and bring you a brief, breath of summer. We hope you like him.

We photographed Cedric on a local beach and in our garden, as with all our bears we'll include some photos of him and if you like a greeting card and gift tags, just ask us when you're ordering.

This is Krumbs, a cheerful, colourful teddy bear with dreamy eyes and a comforting smile.

Krumbs is a happy bear, sweet and sincere, he'll sit happily in the palm of your hand and gaze back at you with his beautifully hand-painted glass eyes. He's not a wild and crazy thing, he isn't 'out there' like some of our bears, he's just a gentle, little fellow looking for a home.

Krumbs stands 8 inches (20cm) tall, he's made from a sparse, ratinee mohair that Barbara has dyed with splashes of jade, cerise, biscuity gold and sunflower yellow and dyed his velvet paw pads to match. He has wonderful, hand painted eyes with eyelids, a painstakingly embroidered, multi-coloured nose and a broad, innocent smile. Krumbs has glass beads in his tummy, arms, hands and feet, to make him a little more squidgable and poseable.

Krumbs is full of hope, he has a childlike charm, he's just a little sweetie.

As with all our bears Krumbs will come with a photographic card and we're happy to include a birthday/valentines/Christmas card and a gift tag, just ask us.

Bingo one of a kind hand dyed mohair artist bear.

Bingo is 8 inches/ 20cm tall and costs £110 (GBP) plus p&p (shipping)

Some bears are very serious, they have to be taken seriously and admired, Bingo isn't one of them, he's a barrel of laughs, a bundle of spotty-dottiness, an explosion in a paint factory, a gentle, little colourful bear looking for a home.

You might say, 'His head's a bit big', he would say 'I'll always be thinking of you'
You might say 'His arms are a bit short' he would say 'they're still long enough for hugs'
You might say 'His legs could be a little longer' and he would say 'I'll never run away from you'

Bingo is definitely a colourful little chap, his body and the top of his head are made from dense, very short mohair that Barbara has splished and splashed with a myriad of spots and dots, the sides of his head are yellow and orange. He has one green and blue arm and one green and blue leg, one mauve and cerise arm and one mauve and cerise leg, he has one cerise and green ear and one blue and mauve ear and a little orange and yellow tail. He has hand-dyed, velvet pads that are also spotty to match his mohair. Bingo has sparkling, little hand painted yes, a big, broad and bold, multi-coloured nose and a thoughtful smile, for all his wild colourfulness Bingo is a sweet, little bear.

Spotatsic is 8.5 inches/22 cm tall and costs £150 (GBP) plus p&p (shipping)

Spotatsic is a wild and crazy thing, well certainly in appearance, in personality she's quite sweet and restrained. She has a loving smile, a twinkle in her eye and rather a demure expression, she's a bit of an enigma.

Spotastic is mainly made from a piece of short, straight pile mohair that Barbara has dyed with a cacophony of multi-coloured spots and blotches, yes, she's Spotastic! Her body front is very long and bright red faux fur with white tips, she has a hand dyed, mustard coloured mohair face, hand dyed purple hair and ears that are are hand dyed green on the front and orange on the back, she also has a little tail that is spotty on top and purple underneath. The velvet for her paw pads was hand dyed to match her mohair. She has beautiful, sparkling, hand painted eyes with hand painted eyelids a magnificent embroidered nose which picks out the colours of her mohair and a broad, beaming smile. She's a very happy bear.

She would add colour and joy to any bear collection, like a little flower on a warm spring day.

We hope you like her.

Esmeralda Dragon one of a kind hand dyed mohair artist dragon.

Esmeralda is 9.5 inches/24 cm tall and 16 inches/41cm nose to tail. Esmeralda costs £280 (GBP) plus p&p (shipping)

Esmeralda is a dragon, she's a good natured, rather posh dragon, but a dragon nonetheless, so please treat her carefully, an angry dragon is something to be avoided, she has a fiery temper.

Esmeralda is made from a variety of different hand dyed mohairs, her body back, the sides of her head and her tail are made from dense, curly German mohair that Barbara has hand dyed in a variety of pinks, purples and blues, her tummy is slightly straggly and dyed in shades of peach and pink, she has very bright, vermillion arms and legs and the top of her face is a strong yellow with a hint of mustard.... mmm dragons like mustard. Esmeralda has a long, black mohair mane running the length of her body and tail, the same mohair is used for her fluffy hair. She has hand dyed paw pads to compliment her mohair, hand painted, sparkly eyes with hand painted eyelids, a splendid nose embroidered from many individual threads of soft cotton and a broad, mischievous grin. Oh, nearly forgot, being a dragon she has wings, hand coloured in oranges and yellows with the stripes emphasised by sewing over them.

Esmeralda is a friendly dragon, she likes to drink Lapsang Souchong tea, she loves the smoky flavour and if you were to offer her the occasional chili she'd be your friend forever.

Roly is 13 inches/ 33 cm tall standing, 9.5 inches/24 cm sitting and costs £140 (GBP) plus p&p (shipping)

Roly is a portly bear, a bear who loves to indulge. He doesn't mind or care, he's happy and nothing will come between him and his dinner.

Roly is made from a tan coloured, piece of slightly tufty and worn, vintage mohair. He's a comical bear with his big tummy, slightly downturned 'sticky out' ears, little arms and legs and big, bulbous nose.

Roly has large, black, boot button eyes, beige, wool-felt paw pads, a beautifully embroidered, large nose and a broad smile and embroidered claws on his hands and feet. Roly is wearing a mauve, Edwardian style swimsuit with pale blue stripes knitted by Andy's mum with a little, wooden, heart with the words 'Chocolate is not just for breakfast' printed on it, we agree with this statement entirely. If you were to remove Roly's swimsuit (we won't ask why) you will discover he has a sweet little tail. Roly is stuffed with a mixture of polyester stuffing and plastic pellets, which give him a saggy, cuddly appearance and a bit of extra weight....as if he needed that.

We think Roly is an irresistibly huggable little fellow, who should bring a smile to your face whenever you see him.

We hope you like him.

As with all our bears Roly comes with his own photos and a greetings card, if you would like a special card, maybe for a birthday or Valentines Day please let us know and we'll be very happy to enclose it.
