He's stunning. I love the fur.
thanks, folks!
sue f, he's 9" at the shoulder when on all 4's. he's about 12" seated. (but my last bear, Grizzleda, was 5" at the shoulder, or about 1/2 this size.)
sue j - isn't that a great fur? it's from a piece of Tissavel I bought in '96, when I first started. sadly, they don't make it anymore, the dum dummies
Stunning!!!!
What a very special little character, full of mischief and being a little naughty! I adore him.
Hugs
