Dear all,
I am pleased to introduce Colchique, the swap bear I made for Sabine. He is just arrived in Sweden after a 13 day journey.
He is 32 cm tall. His weight is 750 g. He is made of 23 mm sparse light lemon curly Schulte mohair matching backing. Paw pads and foot pads are made of pistachio green ultra suede. Nose, mouth and eyebrows are embroided with matching pistachio green cotton thread. He is fully jointed with cotter pin joints (40 mm diameter for arms, 45 mm diameter for head and legs). He has green German glass eyes. He is filled with heavy uncarded polyester with some added plastic beads in his tummy. I made his claws with green Rocaille beads. I embroided a green bicolour shamrock on his right foot pad. He has got a jingle bell in his right ear.
He wears a sleeveless vest made of kaki mixed wool and closed with a brown lace. There are some green stone beads attached to the collar of his vest.
He wears forest green wool baggy pants.
There is a cotton tag sewn to his right leg, with the artist's name on one side and the owner’s name on the other side, cross-stitched in golden cotton thread.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
