The Orlando kit costs £50 plus postage, packing and insurance*.
The kit makes a typical Barbara-Ann bear, about 11.5”/ 29cm tal,l with a sculpted face, eyelids and a different coloured tummy. The kit includes 1/4 metre of hand dyed mohair for the main colour, plus a smaller piece for the tummy and ear and tail backs. You'll have some mohair left over in case you make any mistakes.
Each kit is made from unique pieces of hand dyed mohair, together with matching paw pad material, beautiful hand painted eyes, eyelid material and nose threads. They come complete with patterns and full instructions, with diagrams for the trickier bits. You need to buy joints, sewing thread and strong button thread, bear making tools and stuffing material. As all the mohair is unique to each kit you will definitely be making your own one of a kind artist bear.
Here are some photos of the original Orlando teddy bear.
Please use the contact link at the bottom of the page if you would like to order this kit, I will need to know the colours you would like me to use and if you would like me to use sparse/curly/dense/feathery mohair. You can use the pictures above for guidance or you can ask for whatever you like.
I look forward to hearing from you and maybe seeing you too
Barbara
