The All Bear stand
With four large halls full of visitors and exhibitors at the Winter Bearfest show in London on Sunday, it was a good day for teddy bears, thanks to the Hugglets team. People were immersed in the serious subject of bears everywhere, eager to chat, inspect and adopt.
Unfortunately my day didn't start well after spending the first couple of hours at the show trying to connect a new card reader to my mobile phone to take payments, but then being unable to establish a wifi connection ... so much for modern technology! Maybe I should have stayed with my old paper voucher/swipe machine system after all?! By lunchtime I'd given up all hope of making the wretched thing work and abandoned it before it spoiled my day entirely. The bears behaved impeccably despite the card reader hiccup. They sat smartly on the stand, welcoming visitors and lapping up compliments, while I fussed and flapped ... I don't think there's a bear maker in the business who would be able to honestly say show days are never stressful!
Happily as the day wore on, five of my bears found lovely new owners. The bears below came home with me after the show, despite being much admired; sometimes that's just the way shows go. I am now free to offer these fine teddy bears for purchase online ...
Beau
Handsome Beau is a 20" mohair bear, created in traditional clown/jester
style.
I have used a lovely dense wavy gold mohair for his head/paws and beautiful silky plum and sky blue for his body.Beau has black glass eyes, a professionally embroidered black nose and wool felt paw pads, which I have shaded. He wears a cotton lace collar tied with hand dyed ribbon and has vintage buttons stitched to his front. Inside this lovely bear's tummy is a growler.
