Punkin

      Punkin is a newborn wild cat who loves to sleep .

  Made from Schulte faux fur in a rich brown with pale tips.

                               

  Here he shows off his luxurious coat and punky hairdo

 Punkin's features have been fashioned from needlesculpting and extensive scissoring.

 Large bright eyes give him an endearing look and his little nose has been crafted from  Apoxy - Sculpt which has been sanded, painted and sealed

He has been firmly filled with polyfibre and steel shot for weight. 

5ways jointed .

        He can stand but is still a bit wobbly - he needs his bushy tail to help him balance.  

    He prefers to be carried !

     

   He measures 14 cms high ( 5,5 inches) when standing. His limbs  and ears are Sassy Longpile velvet in a contrasting beige colour.  His markings are from handshading with oils.  

                

 Punkin is starting to look sleepy again!  Better put him back to bed.

                        

                             

 Sweet dreams

Punkin is looking for his forever home.  You can adopt him from Bearpile

Grizz and Guppy

I would love to introduce you to  Grizz and Guppy - my latest little bears.

Standing 9cms tall Grizz is a daddy bear. He has a sturdy body and stands well on two or four legs. Guppy is a cub and is 7cms tall when upright.

Seated they are 6.5 cms and 5.5 cms tall respectively. 

You can be sure that if there's tea and cake being served the bears will not be far away. In fact they will be right under your nose  hiding in a teacup!

Both bears have been made from Sassy Longpile velvet in two colours.  A rich brown and a creamy light tan.
  

 
Their eyes are German glass .  Grizz has a shiny black resin nose whilst Guppy's nose has been hand embroidered. Their faces have been extensively needle sculpted to enhance their features.

Grizz has different paw pads.  I have given him trapunto embroidered foot detail using tan ultrasuede.  Guppy has pulled toes that have been hand embroidered. Both bears have hand shading on their paws.

Sometimes Guppy will sleep in my pocket when she's tired

 

Both bears have wobble-jointed heads which I prefer, as they can be posed in various positions.  They have been firmly stuffed with polyfibre.

Little Guppy loves her dad and often gives him big bear hugs
