Commission for a Very Special admirer of my bears. After
hearing about my bears this lady, (who I believe is now in her
eighties), asked, if I could possibly make her a bear from her
Grand-mothers wintage Mink coat. Knowing it is politically incorrect
nowadays to wear fur coats she wanted a family heirloom to
hand down to her relatives. A much better proposition than a
fur coat which would probably never get worn again or possibly
even thrown away due to it being real fur. Even though I had already
made 2 or 3 commissions from Coney, 1970's Rabbit fur coats I found
this quite a daunting prospect.
This was going to be a Family Heirloom so it had to appeal to
all members of her Family.
So, after much designing, altering and planning here is the
finished bear. I am proud to call her a Barrel Bear.
Danni.
Below is Henry. I was proud to be asked by my Father to make a bear befitting his requirements. He wanted a luxurious bear to go into his Rolls Royce Silver Spirit which he takes to Classic Car Shows. Henry is holding a cushion with a printed picture of Henry Royce. Made from 1950's Beaver Lamb fur.
This is a Wedding Bear named Taylor by the Bride to be. Cross-stich was used on the paw pads. Made from Faux fur.
This is Rustie. I was asked by a friend to make her a bear from her old Coney Fur coat.
