This is Archibald, a bear with a past, created for the Hugglets show in London, held on September 14th. I was lucky enough to find some original antique German mohair, beautifully distressed with the passage of time and couldn't resist the opportunity to bring it to life!
Archibald is 16" and to complement the lovely patina of his aged mohair, I have given him original leather boot button eyes and a waxed, hand embroidered nose.
TinyBearOh - he is beautiful Paula
Love that mohair and that color.
He is looking great with those old bells.

Thanks Tina! Lovely to hear you like my 'old style' bear. 
Cincinnati, OhioSimple and beautiful. Your recent bears have been absolutely spectacular, Paula. Congrats on a job very well done!
He's gorgeous Paula, so lovely and old fashioned

PottersHouse BearsWell I guess we all have a past, but Archibald certainly carries his well. He is gorgeous!
Thanks everyone!
I did wonder how well this bear would be received, because he's quite a diversion from my usual bears. He was difficult to photograph too and I really think he's one of those bears that needs to be handled to be fully appreciated ... I just love the way this mohair feels when it is made into a bear!
