Claude

Introducing Claude!

Claude is a slightly scruffy little character who has been lovingly handcrafted using a grey/brown tipped cream mohair. The paw pads, ears and hands are made from a beautiful vintage print and add a lovely festive fell to this little bear. Claude is filled with polyester fibre fill and is slightly weighted.

Claude wears a hand knitted red scarf tied around the neck with a curly tassel finish. This bear has a hand embroidered nose and glass eyes with a little shading. Claude is 5 way jointed with cotter pins and measures approximately 6”/15cm seated and 8”/20cm standing. (This bear is able to stand unaided, but would appreciate a little help.) Claude will arrive with tags attached and a certificate of authenticity.

My bears are all lovingly handcrafted, using my own patterns, in my little studio in the Forest of Dean. Each bear is individually made, so no two will be the same. They all have their own unique character and I like to dress them in outfits or accessories to suit them. I have a love for interesting textiles and traditional embellishment techniques, so my designs will usually feature recycled sari fabric, tweed, vintage textiles, embroidery, beading or exciting prints.
