Buddy: a handmade mohair polar bear

Buddy is one of a trio of polar bears made in November. Although all to the same pattern, each one is slightly different. Buddy is made from traditional Steiff-Schulte mohair, with ivory wool-felt paw pads. This bear differs slightly from the majority of my bears as I have used plastic safety joints and plastic safety eyes.

Buddy is filled with high quality wool, and weighted with plastic 'beanie' pellets which are secured in a calico bag in the bears tummy. This polar bear has claws and muzzle stitched with black perle cotton, and has some light tinting to the inner ears, around the eyes and at the top of the nose.

Although this bear looks lovely standing tall, please do not expect him to stand easily - I managed to balance him for his photoshoot! If you want a standing display bear you may need to lean him against something.

Buddy weighs 355g and measures 35cms from ears to toes.

Please note that my bears are collectible items, and a such not intended for children under the age of 14.

Buddy will arrive with a provenance tag to identify him as made by Jenny Gale of Winter's Den.

This bear will be dispatched within 3 days. Please note that if you are located outside the UK, your country may charge an import tax so please be prepared to pay should this happen (note below r.e. USA). I am sorry that I can no longer sell to the EU due to the difficulty for small businesses to comply with the GSPR regulations. Shipping to the USA
