New handpainted glass eyes

We were getting rediculously low on our painted eye stock on the website - and I just had no time to pull them all out and get them painted. But I set aside a few hours during the week and got 7 batches of larger sizes done (16mm, 14mm and 12mm). If you were looking for the larger eyes - you'll find all of these new colours here.

{Please remember though, these are hand painted using lots of layers and different colours, and once they sell I cannot replicate them again exactly which can be a bit disappointing for customers - so it is always best to grab a pair you love when you see it}

Yukiko - 22" alpaca polar bear

This big beautiful girl is 'Yukiko' - who's name means 'snow' and 'happiness' in Japanese. She is made entirely from a dense long pile alpaca fur in an ivory-white.

She is a rather imposing 22" tall and we've stuffed her so that she gives great cuddles! If you haven't had a chance to cuddle a beautiful big alpaca bear - then this girl might be just the ted for you! ;)

Audrey and Declan

Meet Audrey and Declan. These guys were custom requested bears that didn't turn out quite right for their commisioning collector - so we are offering them up for general adoption. They're both made from the same wispy/wavy gold mohair paired with a STUNNING 22mm pile ivory alpaca. They're made using the same design with just a few tweaks to the final touches to make them look different. They would look fantastic paired together because they are so similar, but will display just as nicely on their own.

Both Audrey and Declan are available in our store.

New Kits!

We made a few new kit bears during the week  - this super cute little cherub above using our new 'Maverick' faux fur and our 'Ace of Spades' black fur. The pattern is our 'FREE' pattern (available for instant download at the top left of this blog). You can find the full kit for this cute 12" bear in our esty store for only AUD$33 plus postage. One of our best value kits available.

We also made up this big boy using our very versatile  'Alivia' pattern. He is made up in our new 100mm pile 'Atlantis' and 'Cloud Dancer' faux fur fabrics. We left his cheeks long and natural which adds to his wise expression (and makes it so much easier to complete his face when making his kit as you don't have to scissor sculpt cheeks!).

This kit is also available in our etsy store.

(Please note that both original bears have been sold).

Mr Sunshine

Meet Mr Sunshine. A cheeky little commisoned bear heading off to his new home in the USA. He was a delight to make!

Luna

This big girl is Luna. I am in love with her. She is made from a piece of mohair we dyed as a bit of an experiment - and it was just so pretty that I had to make a bear out of it immediately!

Luna is 17" tall, fully jointed, looks out through black glass eyes and has a sweet turquoise embroidered nose.

Luna is available for adoption. :)

Baby Emma

This sweet girl was another of our latest custom orders. She is our baby-bear style creation with the wobbly, heavy head and the curled up limbs. Baby Emma weighed in at 5lbs 6oz and was made in a STUNNING piece of long, straight pile gold mohair I found. Her mum requested a lilac nose and we gave her lilac accessories to match - including her little Pumpkin Patch onesie with lilac fairies all over it!

Baby Emma is adopted - but if you'd like something like her made for you, just let us know :)
