Just like Bobby the Bear, Ralph is cut from a vintage plaid wool camp blanket. He's a large sized bear standing a good 20" tall. He's designed to be your buddy! Being carefully stitched and embroidered, Ralph is sure to catch your attention. He is available in smaller sizes, or in an army green or grey wool. Just let me know. His ears are lined with organic canvas and his body is fully jointed. Ralph is stuffed with eco-poly fiber and fabric scraps. With his size, he is a bit thicker and heavier than other bears, but this is perfect if you like hugging him. Please allow one week to make and ship Ralph. He comes with an organic leather collar with rivets, but you can also customize the leather collar with any name/text that you have in mind. Let me know and I'll be glad to do it for you.

I am an industrial designer with a home workshop near Philadelphia, PA. I am a mother of two little boys, and a maker of things whenever I have a free hand.
I work with natural materials to create functional and meaningful pieces that will last a lifetime or longer. I allow the natural materials to "be themselves," or I let their natural characteristics become the character of the finished piece.
My pieces are sold in local boutiques and museum shops, as well as online.
