cream and honey bear. she loves to bake mini muffins and whip up green smoothies all day long. cream white with honey tan accents removable ribbon tied apron made from a vintage dress. pale pink. vegetable tanned leather collar with rivet closure 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 made from thick, nappy felt (from 100% recycled fibers) ***each bear saves about 3 plastic bottles from the landfill*** hand stitched 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 12" tall *not intended for children under 3 surface wash recommended, but bear can probably be machine washed with mild soap and set out in the sun to dry. i haven't tested it yet :) 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.
