Benson is the first of my new line of animal designs. It is very hard for me to part with this special guy. Although he wasn’t designed from mohair, he still holds a uniqueness of the old bears from years ago.
21” Benson’s dark lavender coloring shows wear and discolor in some areas which add a great old fashioned appearance. There are wee spots of mending here and there as well.
I’ve given him a double ruffled collar made from a vintage quilt Dresden piece of 1930’s prints, coupled with distressed pink and light robin’s egg blue silk ribbon with teeny wooden beads that spell “BEAR” tied around his neck.
He has a heart stitched on his chest from a piece of vintage quilt and aged. Lastly, his cone shaped “party” hat was made from a vintage fabric with a green binding. I added some more distressed pink and robin’s egg blue silk ribbon at the tip.
Benson has been heavily stained and aged perfectly. He is weighted and sits nicely when placed. He will come signed/dated as an original, one of a kind design. If you have room in your heart for this special bear, please email me.
