Gus

Introducing Gus!

He’s a fun loving boy who has been lovingly handcrafted using Helmbold, mocha mohair. He has dark green and gold embossed velvet as an accent on paw pads, ears and hands. Gus is filled with polyester fibre fill and glass granules for added weight. He weighs approximately 1kg. He wears a lovely plaid scarf to keep him warm, which is made from British tweed. He has a hand embroidered nose and glass eyes with some shading around his face. He is 5 way loosely jointed with cotter pins. He measures 10”/26cm seated and 15”/38cm standing. (He isn’t confident standing, so will need a little help.) He will arrive with his tags attached and his 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.
