Meet the Latest Bear… from an Up-Cycled Jacket!

Please meet Cappuccino!  He is the latest bear to be born here in the studio.  I am currently working on some custom order memory bears from a client’s mother’s fur stole, but took a short break to finish this sweet guy.

He was created from a beautiful soft faux fur jacket that I discovered in a resale shop.  When I spotted the jacket I had to have it as I could instantly picture the beautiful bear that could be created out of it.

Creating bears from fabrics like this is always a challenge.  The furs take more time to work with than mohair or alpaca, but I love the look I get from them.  I also like how unique these bears are as it’s not like I can just order more of that fur from my supplier.

I hope you have enjoyed visiting with Cappuccino!  If you would like to adopt him, you can do that here:  http://www.teddybearacademy.net/bears/product/cappuccino-artist-bear/
