Poof - New Elephant in my Etsy Shop

I have just added Poof, a hand-dyed mohair elephant to my Etsy shop.  She is 7 1/2″ high and is holding a vintage fabric viola with her trunk.  She has glass eyes and is stuffed with excelsior and cotton batting.  She is wearing a collar made of vintage lace and a skirt, also of vintage lace.  You can visit her here.

  • Hi, Thanks for your compliment on teddy talk!
    I love your bears to, they are superb!!
    But I have a question.
    Sorry to bother you.
    A wile ago I bought some red mohair on a fair and I made Reddy with it!
    You saw him on teddytalk I guess.
    I looked for it at mohair supliers but can not find it.
    Where did you buy yours?
    Thank you, I would appreciate it if you could tell me the name of the suplier.
    Bye and good luck with the bears!

    • Hi, I bought the mohair for the elephant quite a while ago – I can’t remember for sure where I got it, but probably either at Edinburgh Imports or Intercal Trading. It was a white mohair and I dyed it a deep reddish pink.

  • Thanks so much for your response but it is not the same then.
    Mine was already red when I bought it,
    but thanks anyway :)
