Merry Christmas bear is a unique piece, made using an old technique.
Chris bear was crocheted out of 100% spun wool, and then put through a process know as felting, fulling and or boiling wool. The fulling shrinks the piece giving it a more solid, thicker effect. Chris bear is a small size of 6 1/2" tall and fully thread jointed. His face and claw details are embroidery.. and a little shading added for detail. I also crocheted his Christmas collar, which can be removed. Chris bear brings with him his Christmas wreath. He has been made to look passed down -- A perfect addition to any primitive décor.
You may view him HERE!
The felted effect is really nice, and maybe it's just the colors, but he reminds me of Pooh.

I love his skinny little paws and even with the smallest eyes and nose still has a wonderful expression!

Thank you for the kind comments, glad you liked him! I agree, Becky, he does resemble Pooh a bit.
