Benny is an irrepressibly exuberant one of a kind artist bear made from long, shaggy, hand dyed mohair

Benny stands 10.5inches (27 cm) tall and is 8.5 inches (22 cm) sitting.
He costs £170 (GBP) plus £8.00 GBP postage and insurance within the UK and £10.00 GBP postage and insurance everywhere else.

Benny is made from a piece of very long, straggly, stringy, scruffy mohair. Barbara has dyed the backing of the mohair rather than the pile so that the colour has seeped through to the bottom of the strands but the majority remains it's original cream colour....oh, just look at the pictures, it's a lot easier than trying to describe it..., he's quite a colourful bear, but not too bright, he's comfortably colourful, the backing of the mohair has been dyed in shades of pink, green, yellow, amber and blue. His velvet paw pads have been dyed in similar colours to tie in with his mohair, he has gorgeous, hand painted eyes with eyelids, a stonker of a nose, sewn in the colours of his mohair and a broad, enthusiastic smile. Benny is stuffed with plastic pellets and polyester stuffing, making him more cuddly and flexible than he might be if completely stuffed with polyester, we don't like stiff and rigid bears, we like our bears to enjoy a cuddle...in moderation of course. 

Benny is a little bundle of fun, a big bag of chuckles and guffaws, a reminder of summer flowers and a bear to make you smile. He is both wild and calm, he has a gentle disposition, a caring side, a warm and friendly bear with heaps of scruffiness, we hope you like him.

We will enclose photos with Benny and we are happy to put in a greetings card and gift tags, maybe a Mother's Day card, birthday card or one for another occasion, just let us know.

Pasha stands 9 inches (23 cm) tall and is 6.5 inches (17 cm) sitting. 

She is made mainly from a medium length, gently distressed mohair that Barbara has dyed a rich mauve, her tummy and the underside of her tail are made from a straight pile, orange tipped cream mohair, her face is made from a long, hand dyed, baby pink ,mohair with a delicate lemony backing and she has shocking pink ears. Pasha's velvet paws are hand dyed in many pastel shades of yellow, amber, red, green, purple and blue which compliment her mohair beautifully. Her eyes are quite large for the bear's size, so you can gaze endlessly into them, amazed at their hand painted colours, she has eyelids too. Pasha has an intricately embroidered nose, made from many different colours and types of cotton, which reflect the colours of her mohair and she has a beguiling smile. She is stuffed with polyester stuffing and glass beads, which make her a little heavier and allow her more flexibility. 

Pasha is a sweet and feminine bear, although strongly coloured she is a bear of grace and charm, a little flower, a crocus who hopes to bring a smile to your face and a warm glow in your heart.

We will include some photos of Pasha and some greetings cards, if you would like a card or gift tag for a special occasion just let us know and we will be happy to help.

He is made from a piece of distressed, sparse mohair that varies between quite straight and pretty wild hand dyed in shades of blue with a blotchy deep rose backing, it has a shabby chic quality as does Pete himself....more shabby than chic... ahem...His tummy, the fronts of his ears and the underside of his tail are made from a denser, curly mohair again hand dyed in shades of blue.

Pete is stuffed with plastic pellets and polyester stuffing and as you can see from the photos he has a large, stripy, softly cushioned heart attached to him like a medal of love.

Cuddlesome Pete is a happy go lucky bear, a lover of good company and good food...not even good food, just food. He's a bear always on the guard against a cold spell, ready to hibernate at a moment's notice and that demands great dedication to his tummy...he's not fat, he's preparing for hibernation!

We will enclose photos with Cuddlesome Pete and we are happy to put in a greetings card and gift tags, maybe a birthday card or one for another occasion, just let us know.
