Black bears have always held a special place in my heart. I think of all the bears and critters that I have made over the years, that Button is the one that makes me really stop and smile. I wanted to really try to capture his look as a young cub. He is the most realistic bear I have made but I love that I was still able to capture a slight teddy bear quality. This is why I call them "character bears". He is made of very dense, black mohair and is 15 inches sitting and 20" standing. (Still working on a foot design that would allow them to stand on their own. He came pretty close). He has taxidermy glass eyes and his neck, back and arms are armature using a loc-line type armature.
