this bear needs a home. each bear is one of a kind, made just for you. i don't use patterns, so each bear has a little different personality. they have a really cute vintage look to them, like you found them in your grandparents' attic. made from thick, nappy felt (from recycled fibers) in: vintage tan, chocolate brown, cream, or black. let me know which one you would like. hand stitched round safety plastic eyes and embroidered nose/mouth head, arms, and legs are jointed stuffed with eco-poly fiber and fabric scraps about 12" tall would make a great birthday, new baby, or holiday gift. not intended for young children each bear has a leather tag riveted to its ear. the tag is stamped with the "arden and james" logo. i can add a custom leather collar for you (as pictured) with a name or any text you would like. just send me a message and let me know what you would like. I will create a custom listing for you and it will cost $5. allow 2 weeks (should be less) for me to make your bear and ship it out

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.

For Organic Rag DollsBri took the time to make this project special because she knew how much it meant to me and I really feel like a lot of love and care went into the whole process. Im really happy with the results.
