I just joined Bear Pile and plan to add more bears there regularly.

Winnie is my first bear up for adoption at Bear Pile. She is 8 1/2″ tall and is made of German mohair that I hand-dyed and hand-shaded. She is wearing a handmade skirt of vintage lace and eyelet, a handmade necklace with a vintage vegetable ivory bead, and a vintage rayon bow by her ear. She is cotter pin jointed and stuffed with excelsior and cotton batting. She has a small muslin bag with stainless and steel shot in her tummy for a nice weight. She is very loose jointed for a vintage feel, but can stand with help.
You can visit Winnie here.













I realy love this winnie.
I liked the turquois bear (sold) also very much!
I still need to clean my house today and my fingers long to start making a new bear.
Do you know that feeling.
I long to try out the colours to.
Thank you for coming to visit, Danielle, and thank you for the sweet words about Winnie and Petra.
Yes, I know the feeling well.
