Meet Martha!
Standing 9 inches (23cm), Green Leaf is an OOAK antique style weighted art bear, lovingly handmade by Atelier Lavendel, using my designs and high-quality all natural materials.
Handmade in Germany. This bear is made with high quality antique style mohair fabric from traditional working German manufacture Steiff Schulte, which gives him a lovely well much loved vintage appearance. His original glass eyes are handmade in the Lauscha glass manufacture, Germany. I hand embroidered his nose and his claws with cotton embroidery floss. I used organic clean wood shavings to stuff the body and the limbs and added to his chubby belly some steel shot, which is safely placed within a linen bag, for more lovely weight.
This bear is sympathetically aged and hand painted using non-toxic pastel colours.
His full jointed arms, legs and head are movable and pose able.
His scarf of pure vintage silk, his cowl of gorgeous artist spoon wool/silk yarn and matching hat with a green leaf of pure wool felt can be put off. I intended this bear as a little treasure to display or as a special heirloom toy to an older child for gentle play.
ECO friendly.
Dry clean only.
Handmade in pet- and smoke- free home.
SAFETY NOTE: I recommend this bear for collectors 6+ : )
Martha is now available here .
