Mohair traditional handmade Teddy Bear - Bluebell

Bluebell is a traditional jointed teddy bear, hand made by me using Steiff Mohair and my own pattern. Each bear is completely unique. Bluebell is such a wonderful little character who is making it very difficult for me to part with her. She insisted on joining us on our little trip over the border to Cornwall and was just the best little travelling companion. She is a little smaller than most of my bears who are between 16cm - 20cm, she is 14cm when lying down.

Each bear or animal is handmade in Devon (UK), using my own traditional style pattern and natural materials. Patterns are individually cut for each bear so they each have their own adorable expression. I use natural materials and try to source materials as locally and sustainably as possible. They therefore make excellent eco gifts. The bears have glass eyes, which are made in the UK and a hand embroidered nose. Their limbs and body are weighted with steel pellets, which are recycled and sustainably washed. This means that their limbs move very freely giving them a very life like quality. They are stuffed with the finest wool batting locally sourced, washed and carded. Their left feet are hand embroidered with the DevonGrizzlies flag to help them remember their Devon home. They are between 14 and 20 cm tall and sit unsupported.

They will arrive carefully packaged in a gift box and recyclable materials via Royal Mail signed for package.

These are collectables and contain small parts so are not suitable as toys for small children. (They do make lovely heirloom gifts for parents, godparents or grandparents to treasure).

Covid19
During this world pandemic I have been making the bears as a mindful activity. Once they are completed and have had photos and introductions I package them ready for dispatch and then quarantine them (in a glass cabinet) so that they can be dispatched with minimum further contact. They will arrive ready for a big hug once the outer packaging has been removed.
