Sebastian -  One Of A Kind  SOLD

November 16th - 23rd, 2008

 

Welcome to my annual Mini Mania web show - a celebration of all things small, but perfectly formed!! 

A well-made miniature bear is like a precious little jewel, and I strive hard to offer my collectors the very best work I am capable of.

I hope you will find something here to delight you - please enjoy the show!

 

As usual, there will be no shipping charges added, and I am happy to let bears be adopted on a TWO MONTH layaway*, (if you need more time than this, please e-mail me).

*UK residents ONLY: If you choose layaway and make the final payment by December 16th, I can guarantee delivery for Christmas.

*Everywhere else: You may still choose the layaway option, but I cannot guarantee delivery in time for Christmas, unless you choose to have your bear shipped by courier, which will incur an extra charge (eg: to the USA will be approximately $50)

 

This will be my last web update for the year.  The next show is scheduled, provisionally, for Spring, 2009...

Benoit, 4 1/4 inches: £175 -  US$285

Benoit is one of my latest designs, with a completely hand-sculpted and painted muzzle.  Although you cannot see from the picture, he has two tiny little teeth showing!

Benoit’s head and paws are made from Sassy cashmere and his clown suit is a combination of Sassy smoky long pile in rose and vintage long pile in old gold.  He wears a hand-dyed silk ruff and his paw pads are wool felt.  He has glass eyes and is filled with copper shot.

This utterly huggable little bear is a brand new design, based upon a much larger bear I made recently, called Ursa Major.  Like his bigger brother, Bernard has a double neck joint, a hand-sculpted nose, deeply scissor-sculpted face, and wire armature to his front paws.  He is made from caramel Sassy cashmere and his needle-sculpted paw pads are made from microsuede.  He sports a pale blue wool felt scarf to keep him warm!  He is filled with copper shot.
