this is Stella. she is very shy, but will usually talk about music and dancing. if you have a crayon, she might draw you a picture. she is afraid of dogs, so if you have one, you might have to introduce them carefully… ******************************** this is a new addition to the bear line…a larger sized bear. super soft and huggable. choose your fur color: honey tan, chocolate brown, creamy white, black, or charcoal gray, or a mixture of any of these colors. leather riveted tag in ear. hand stamped with "arden and james" logo ********************************* each bear is made to order. I don't use patterns, so each bear has a little different personality. They have a really cute vintage look to them, and are very soft and huggable. made from thick felt (from 100% recycled fibers) ***each bear saves about 3 plastic bottles from the landfill*** hand and machine stitched round safety plastic eyes and embroidered nose fully jointed: head, arms, and legs stuffed with eco-poly fiber and fabric scraps about 20" tall * supervise children under 3 hand wash, dry in the sun. i can add a custom leather collar for you, with a name/any text you would like. just send me a message and let me know what you would like it to say. I will create a custom listing for you and it will cost $5. allow one week (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.
