Lori Ann Gorton Dec 25, 2010

I am so excited to introduce Barthalomew! He was born on Christmas Day! Barthalomew is a One of a Kind bear, made by me, Lori Ann Gorton of Blue Sky Bears. He is 20", my biggest bear to date, and 100% hand sewn (no machine sewing). He is made out of curly black mohair. His muzzle, inner ears and foot pads are thick brown plush with black hairs. He is my first two tone bear and I am very excited about him. He did not start out as a two tone..I decided after I cut out his head and pinned it.... I wanted to try to add in the brown plush!....So I recut his pattern already in the fabric...I managed to do it! :pray:

Barthalomew is scissor sculpted on his face, inner ears and foot pads. He has a hand sculpted clay nose (I do not use molds) and has big black German glass eyes with white felt. Hand shaded details, and stitched claws on foot pads. He is a tall boy with lots of poly pellets in his belly to give him a real good sitting weight. Poly pellets in his arms and feet, and stuffed with poly fil. 5 way jointed. Wearing a black collar. Just a darling boy!

he is available on Bear Pile:
