I've just posted Barley on my website.
He's a hefty fellow, 16" tall, made from an oatmeal-colored kid mohair with a darker brown backing. I've used a center-seam head design for vintage appeal. Barley is securely jointed and has wired arms for gentle posing.
Barley also has big, "beary" front paws with dark brown short-pile-mohair paw pads, and he is stuffed with sheep's wool and polyfill and weighted with glass beads. He is outfitted with a soft tilt growler and a hand-made (and removable) bow-tie that complements his coloring.
I hope you like him!

Barley is one handsome lad! His bow tie looks wonderful against his mohair color!
Bear Hugs,

I really like the form of his head

He is handsome!
Really love Barley. His fur color with the brown backing is beautiful. And I love his center seam head. He is really nostalgic looking, and I love that traditional style.
