Faelen and Sara

Let me introduce Faelen and Sara! They are mohair bears. I bought their patterns from Vivianne Galli's ETSY shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/viviannegalli), who is my favorite bear artist. I have sewn two bears from this pattern.

Faelen wears a hand felted hat and a vest. They are felted by me from sheep wool. He has a basket full of mushrooms and fruits. The hat, the vest and the basket are removable.

Faelen measures 8.4 inches (21 cm) when standing without his hat. He can stand on his own. He is 5-way jointed with plywood discs and cotter pins.

Sara lives with my family, she is my own beloved teddy bear. Panka (my sheltie) loves her very much too! :)

I hope you like them!
