New Classic Bear Available

Patrick is a classic, centre seam head pattern, 5 joint teddy bear

Patrick is now SOLD ... more bears to come in the New Year

Ref 011//24 - The 11th and last bear for the year.

18 inches 45 cms  standing

13 inches 34 cms seated

Another bear from my 2024 classic bear pattern, this is the last bear for the year and the last of the bears from this pattern for the time being, so I decided to finish with an unusual colour.



More photos of Patrick further down after the description

Patrick is  made from a slightly wavy and distressed mohair in a soft but intense dusty vintage pink colour.

He has deep set vintage boot button eyes and wool felt paw pads which are cotton lined.  With the pink fur I decided to use a soft brown/beige colour for the nose and claw embroidery in place of the usual black.

Patrick is filled with excelsior wood wool, in places it is blended with soft natural wool fibre to give a finish which is softer and looser in some places, and slightly "crunchy" to give weight and feel reminiscent of a vintage bear.

Patrick has a traditional tilt growl mechanism.

Recent bears have all had a waistcoat and tie of some kind,  Patrick's tailored waistcoat has a shawl style half collar, metal enameled buttons and is made from English herringbone tweed.  The cravat is a plain loose knotted ascot made from cotton.

Website Problems

 I am trying to migrate my website and use a new method of building and updating it.   When trying to make updates recently I realised that I was using archaic software and not only could I not get a new version of it, I couldn't even find a way to read the files I had made before.

So far it has not been going well; you will find a frozen website and a strange holding page on Wordpress !

Don't hold your breath but rest assured I'm trying to fix it and if any new bears are ready I will make them known via my mailing list, Facebook and Instagram.  Please email me if you would like to be added to the mailing list.

My webmail address is:-

gregory@hugoshouse.com

My website, and it is very much still changing as I build it, has a temporary address is here:-

HUGOSHOUSE

Thank you as always for your very kind interest in my work.
