Here is Nelson,  a bright little chappie 5 1/2 inches of golden mohair with bright old yellow rayon for his muzzle & paws. Nelson has a cute little grin embroidered nose & eyebrows. He has glass black eyes with white felt to enhance them. I have sculptured his feet and given him a double bow of yellow & gold. Nelson is 5 way cotter jointed and filled with polyfil and glass beads, & inserted into his tummy he has his very own heart. i have also given Nelson a traditional hump on his back mixing old with new design.

what really nice bears hope yours comes soon wendy 

IS THERE ANY MORE SWAPS ARRIVING CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE XXXX
