Howie

Introducing Howie!

Howie is a slightly shy little character who has been lovingly handcrafted using a cream alpaca fabric. The paw pads, ears and hands are made from a beautiful woven, gold sari fabric and add a lovely bit of detail to this little bear. Howie is filled with polyester fibre fill and is slightly weighted.

He wears a British tweed scarf in burgundy & cream, tied around his neck. This bear has a hand embroidered nose and glass eyes with a little shading to his face. Howie is 5 way jointed with cotter pins and measures approximately 5”/13cm seated and 7”/18cm standing. (This bear is not able to stand unaided, so would appreciate help.) Howie 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.
