The new Ballerina Collection.
Posted on
Sorry it's been an age again since I added to our Blog, so much for being better at it this 
year! However I wanted to give you a chance to see a few more photo's of Margot our delightful 3 1/2" Ballerina, the first bear of our new Ballerina Collection. As you can see, she is made in a pretty 
combination of Spring colours, pale pink and a lovely shade of apple green. We have created the ballet shoe effect by using narrow ribbon wrapped around Margot's ankles and this matches the lovely green cashmere used for her pads and paws. Her nose is also stitched in green thread and like all our little girl bears, we have given her a pretty ribbon flower over 
her right ear. I really enjoyed making Margot and there will be more Ballerinas to follow so keep your eye on the New Bears page of the Shop.
I hope you all enjoyed our March Newsletter. There are one or two bears still available from that so do have a look at the Website Shop to see who still needs a new home! Our new Pieces of Eight Collection seems to be very popular and I am currently working on more of them, I will add them to the Shop as they are finished. I have also finished a sweet 4" bear in the last couple of days called Dalton. He is also on the New Bears page so have a look. Whilst it currently says he is 
reserved, that is because he is also showing on another Website and we didn't want to risk him being adopted in two places at the same time. However, he is currently still available to adopt, so let me know if you are interested in him.
We are still hard at work and all our new bears will be added as they are finished. Our first fairs of the year are over the Easter Weekend and we will soon be working hard to make stock for them. Don't forget that the Blog now allows for comments, so do let us know what you think of Margot, I hope you like her.
delighted to introduce them to you. Last night I added the gorgeous Twill to the Website Shop, he is 8" tall and is another bear in our new Fabric Featured Collection. He is made of really soft, dense, black German alpaca combined with very striking patterned fabric in shades of beige, brown and terracotta. We have used the fabric for his tummy, pads, paws and the inside of his ears. I love the way the textures contrast and the alpaca sort of wraps itself around the fabric. In style Twill has long bent legs, long curved arms and a rounded tummy. He is quite heavy with steel shot in his feet and paws whilst the rest of him is firmly stuffed with polyester filling. As you can see he is a very happy bear with a lovely smiling face. I hope you like him.
so popular with collectors. This morning I have added the bright, colourful Xavier Braces to the New Bears Page of the Shop. He is a 3 1/2" Braces Boy, the first of the New Year and he is made in gorgeous colours, sure to cheer any dull January day! His upper body is made of very short, dense, soft German alpaca in a pretty shade of deep lilac. We have combined this with fantastic mohair for his trousers, turquoise backed the fur is really soft, straight and tipped in deep cerise pink. It makes great trousers and looks good with the short lilac fur. We have used the two types of fur to make his ears, the short fur at the front and the long mohair at the back so it gives him wonderfully fluffy ears which look great because the fur is tipped in the bright pink so it shows up. We have used toning turquoise ultrasuede for his pads and deep pink ultrasuede for his paws. His braces are made of narrow purple ribbon decorated with jewel coloured spots, he has a pale turquoise stitched nose, a turquoise belly button and shiny black English glass eyes. Xavier Braces is filled with steel shot and so has a good weight for his small size. I love him, I love his cheerful bright colours and his sweet little face. I hope you like him too.
