Edward is a very loving bear, and is one of my largest bears. He measures 15" (38 cm) standing and 10.5" (27 cm) sitting. Edward weighs in at 800 grams (1 lb 12 oz) He is made from a luxurious, dense swirly old-gold coloured German Schulte mohair, with hand-dyed vintage rayon paw and footpads. Filled with polyfil and plastic beads for weight, plus some glass "sand" in his feet.to help him stand.
Edward is 5-way disc jointed, with a wobble joint in head to allow for sweet poses. He has German glass eyes, his nose and mouth handstitched with black perle cotton, then his nose has been waxed, polished and coated with nose-shine to give it an adorable "wet" look..

He also wears a wooden heart with painted silver star, around his neck on a leather neckband (shown in above pic)
Benjamin is a cheeky little boy who would be 15" (38 cm) if he could stand, but he has not learned to walk yet, so is designed to sit. Sitting he is 10.5" (27 cm) He's quite a big boy, weighing in at 900 grams (2 pounds)
Benjamin is made from German Helmbold dense curly matted mohair, his paw and footpads are ultrasuede.

Benjamin is 5-way disc jointed filled with polyfil together with some stainless steel and plastic pellets fto give him a nice "baby" weight and feel. His face has been needle sculpted and his face, paws, feet and clothing gently shaded to give him that boyish "been out playing in the dirt" look.
Benjamin wears his (specially made by the artist just for him) "playtime" pants and cap, and carries his marble bag, all made from a lovely soft vintage wool fabric, his pants have black elastic "braces" and cute little mouse motifs for buttons on the front. He carries his hand-made slingshot and his bag of marbles everywhere he goes.

He is 5-way disc jointed, filled with polyfil together with some plastic pellets to give him a nice "baby" weight and feel.
